Foil Drive

Foil Drive makes electric foil assist systems: a small motor and battery that bolt onto your own foil and board and push you up onto foil, then let you switch off and ride like a normal foiler. That is the key difference from an eFoil. An eFoil is a dedicated powered board you ride under throttle the whole time. A Foil Drive gets you up and linking waves, then gets out of the way.

Which Foil Drive is right for you?

• Foil Drive Assist MAX+ Gen 2.5 (from $4,001): the current flagship assist for surf, prone, wing and downwind. It runs on the 648Wh FM+ 650 battery and comes as a retro-fit kit or with an integrated mast motor.
• Foil Drive Max Starter Kit ($4,499): the simplest way in if you are starting from scratch.
• Foil Drive Max Complete Easy Wake Package ($4,499): a complete board, foil and assist setup built around Slingshot gear.
• Foil Drive Fusion Assist Package ($9,512): the bigger-battery Fusion system with board and foil. It suits long downwinders, all-day sessions and riding under power.
• Slingshot Foil Drive One Lock V2 Integrated Mast ($899): the motor built into the mast, for a cleaner install on Slingshot One Lock setups.

Batteries: know before you buy

Foil Drive batteries are not all interchangeable across generations. The FM+ 650 Battery ($1,349, 648Wh, 8.7 lb) is the standard pack for the Assist MAX+ Gen 2.5. With the $99 FM+ Battery Adapter it also fits a Foil Drive Fusion, where it works as a lighter, sportier alternative to the 860Wh Fusion battery. Older MAX-series packs such as the Max Sport High Power 396 ($789) suit earlier MAX units. If you are unsure what your unit takes, call before ordering.
