Foil Drive Dawn Patrol - 5/31/2025

There was a window this morning where the wind was going to be light - Foil Drive-ing

Lower (but positive) tide.  Smaller, but still fun size swell coming through.


New (to me, but not yet touched water) High Output Motor (rotor and stator).

I set it up with the Magic Hub (but already swapped it out for the original 2 blade prop hub).

AFS Enduro 900/HA40/UHM 80cm mast on No.40 (I wanted to compare the new HO motor performance to the last session)


Using the throttle as closely as I normally would, I got two hours out of the HO battery using the HO motor - 45 minutes more than I would have on the old motors.


And I also ramped up the boost to maximum.  The boost is a significant difference over the old motors and previous boost level.

I had plenty of long rides today.  I tried to kick out well before the longboard lineup.


There was some residual chop in the water - not too bad, but enough to definitely make riding something you had to manage (and not just go like during glassy conditions).

23 rides today -



Going to try the original 2 blade prop hub tomorrow.  I want to see if with the additional power, I can get away with the 2 prop setup.
