- Great fun testing out the new Foil Drive Assist Plus on a short downwind run, but this time on a 4'2" wing board.
Riding: 4'2" x 22" x 5 1/4"
AXIS Foils ART 899
82 cm alluminium mast
350 Progressive rear wing
Crazy Short fuselage
Nice one man! Stoked to see you out there providing some great feedback
Thanks legends! Stoked on the product you have developed.
I keep a healthy respect to my prop on my efoil. While the battery is in the board I don’t manhandle the prop even if the remote is off 😉
That’s a great point! Those things are sharp and could do some serious damage.
The hammerheads 🤣… love this… bravo… cheers, mate
What an epic review 👏
Epic. That did look hard to get started! Great review
Cheers Rob! Yeah that was a bit of a battle. Possible, but probably not recomended on that small of a board.
@@OskarJohansson1 I feel like it was so hard because you are on the 899. I am a relative notice foiler with the FD+ and im able to get up easily using the 1150/1310 on a 40L, without paddling. The 1300 is considerably harder to get up as you need more speed. The 899 would need insane speed to get up in comparison
@@apricotscrub Oh you are totally right! I knew I could get up straight away and without a paddle with a bigger wing, but that wouldn't show how much more power the assist plus would have over the standard version ;)
Sick brother! I want one
Body weight must make a huge difference. My 4'8" Camet 80 Lt with Lift HA 120 or 90 gets on foil with 70 % max throttle thrust or less lake or Ocean swell. No paddle or paddling.I'm onlyt 55 kg. That paddle up looks brutal. Good on you though
Dominic Hoskyns put out that video of popping up on an Axis Tray, have you tried the Drive on your prone board?
I haven't yet, but also don't have a foil drive anymore to try it with 😢. I also didn't have a long enough cable to try this with. It sounds like a lot of fun with the prone board though!
hi oscar. awesome video. dw looks awesome. do you know how thick the ha1325 and ha925 are? i have made 2 wings based on those, but I'm not sure if they are too thick or too thin compared to the real ones. and one more question, I'm planning on making my own dw board, what do you think are the most important aspects for a good board(bottom, outline, etc)? thanks and sorry for making so many questions.
Hey mate, shoot me a message on instagram @oskar_foil and I can send you some pics of what I have made and any more detailed information. I always miss these youtube messages unfortunatley :(
have you tried it on your axis power carbon mast? does the motor not go up high enough?
I haven’t actually… I don’t have a pod for that setup. Would be interested to try it though.
@@OskarJohansson1 We've just released new pod for Axis Power Carbon range, we have one pod for higher positions and a separate pod for flatwater foil driving due to the tapered mast shape!
Can you tell us details about the 4'2 wingboard. Thanks
It's a board I made myself, 4'2" x 22" x 5 1/4" (maybe 75L). It is honestly like a bar of soap, very square rails and outline. It works, but it is pretty hard to get up on foil even for winging. It just doesn't have much planning surface. I have since gone down to a 4'8" Armstrong board at 50L and it is significantly easier to get up even though it is lower in volume.
Shark just wanted to say hello 😅😅
HAHAHA I'm not sure I want to hang around for that conversation
@@OskarJohansson1 They prefer the red flashy Axis mast rather than the Armstrong 😇🤣🤣🤣
