No more pumping -foildrive

This looks seriously cool. We're gonna have to change the website name to windandbatterysport.com Now we can do downwinders from the dam to Van Pugh.

$2400 USD https://www.foildrive.com.au

The price ain't too bad.
I think they are supposed be coming out with a more powerful one. More full power e- foil oriented, as opposed to mainly a assist foiling.

They say you can make DIY version. Parts should run $500. Seems like that's worth looking into further.

The new FoilDrive 2.0 is out. It's the FoilDrive Plus.

52 lbs of thrust vs 46lbs, and a bigger battery, 28 volts vs 22, and 345 watts vs 255watts, in what looks like the same size box. Plus some other improvements $3200
