What’s up guys.
Here’s my current build. The goal with this is to be able to get the motor up out of the water to reduce drag so I can stay on foil with minimal pumping when riding low energy ocean swell downwinding. The battery range is 20 miles. So, if I foil with the motor out of the water half the time I should be able to get 40 miles.
I already had my DIY efoil board, so I wanted to do this build before building a DIY foil drive. The benefit to this build is it is super powerful. I can tow another foiler up onto foil. I think this might be helpful when downwinding with people still learning. If they can’t get started on their own I could tow them up.
This was the first time testing this setup and I struggled to keep the prop in the water, and I struggled to transition from power to pumping. But, I think it’s gonna work. I just have to get used to it.
