I do not have a way of testing the motor current as the data logging doesn’t save this info. Here are some screen shots from today in knee high surf. Same setup, 1201 wing, 6362 motor, two blade FD propeller. I had a 31 minute session then took a short break and had another 27 minute session. Same 12s2p battery. This is all efoiling out to the waves, not using the wave to assist with the get up process. I see the numbers are very similar to the lake session I had a few days ago. For reference the data logging does not record below 5-6 amps which is about the amount of current I am using once up on foil. I think the stiffness and ability for the aluminum blades to be made much thinner contributes to the efficiency of the FD blades over 3d printed ones.
