6354 Eskate motor repurposing

Hi all,
looking at repurposing a 6354 190KV eskate motor for a foil drive/assist type thing. I have all the other components ready to go and just need to design/assemble, I am pretty good with DIY electronics so that is not an issue, however I am not entirely sure the 6354 motor will have enough juice. I am thinking a smaller prop with lower pitch will be needed to have less load, however not sure if this will get me up. Planning on using it to prone in waves, I am an experienced foiler so can pump and surf no problem, however I want to know if this will work, any advice is appreciated,
Cheers!

I use a 6354 for foil assist on my sup foil board. It is a 120kv model though. With a small 2 blade prop it works well as an assist with a 12s battery. I love it on the sup foil due to the reduced weight compared to the standard 6384 people use. It will not allow you to foil around in between waves though. It does not have enough thrust for that so probably not a great motor for a prone.
