How do you guys think about a petrol powered foil board. It could be a lighter, and easier for transporting with plane. It seems there is no such product existing. Do you guys think the noise from the engine could be the problem of a petrol powered foil board?

I have one! let you know when works! Weight is about the same as the cheaper e-foils on the market.
But don’t forget a very small petrol engine will be not enough to power the foil. you need solid power and torque this will bring you at a bigger engine.

What engine are you using? 2 stroke or 4 stroke?
