Love it , and love the way every one is just going nuts thinking out the box. I'm building one using an old board and a foil mount thin plate mounted under the deck, then putting Hd foam stringers over the top at the width of the Fd gen 2 battery box.. using the foil mount the base of my mast will be about 15mm under my back foot..
Great job as always. We at Stinger Boards & Foils in Whistler, Canada are also offering a "Trench" Foil Drive model, in a 5'2" and 4'11". The "Trench" is next level,, it's truly amazing how much quicker one can be up on foil, and there's less drag. 2025 is going to be so much fun, cheers !!
@@Piros181 Thanks, btw my daughter Taylor & I will be in Hood this summer with some demo boards. We plan to be there in June, July & August as well as the AWSI. Cheers !!
Rob I took your advice about moving my fdrive forward and it was great but then I went to salt water and it seemed like I was getting even more lift because it was salt water and my foot was always in front of my foil which is not right could not pump kept stalling. Should I move my mast back or forward? I am thinking back because of the density of the salt water? Any input would be greatly appreciated love all the videos. Cheers, Joe
@@joesmith3719 Hey Joe so yes go as far forward as you can then bump it back a touch . You could also try a smaller rear wing or use a negative shim . That heaps a lot to control excessive lift and give my hold .
@@JoseCruz-vt5wp No we all shared it so no total time BUT the start is way faster so that will definitely lead to extra run time , I’ll do a full run this weekend. Just did a downwind today it was just fantastic.
@@surfertbone4333 Just an up date I just flat water started the Code 600r , 615s & 680r . I was in Currumbin river mouth run out tide . Couldn’t get up going with the current but could going against it . No paddling but got a nudge from the tiny pressure swell . Pretty amazing not chance on my original board .
Great Innovation⚡️Top Stuff ⚡️Well Done ⚡️🤙🤙🇦🇺

Thanks buddy will do the boards look sick!
Maybe you could fabricate a piece of plastic that snaps into the front section to full gap.
@@frankb1686 you could but it just doesn’t need it , I’ll probably try down the track
Did you noticed that the battery lasted longer with the trench? If so, how much longer?

@@Piros181 Please let me know if you notice a difference in battery duration in future rides. Thanks!
Does this trench fits manta takeoff?
@@kirill.khrychikov No the Mantas are heaps wider , but if you gave Dale the measurements he could build it .
Why not put the FD in backwards and then you can remove the battery out the back
Because then the motor cable is wrapped around the mast causing drag , we’ve tried it , it kills the performance
Using a smaller foil sounds like one of the best advantages to the trench board.

How much do you weigh? Asking for a friend who weighs 70 kilos and already foil drives on a 550cm SK8 foil.
@@surfertbone4333 I’m normally 88 but down to 84kg ATM due to knee surgery, I’ll put it back on 😂
