Universal foil assist / efoil / tow solution (2nd)

I am concerned about what happens if you fall and the contacts get exposed. Battery fire?

Plastic bag should be just a second level of safety.
Pelican case had a good quality and works well.
I am using it with 12s2p and 12s3p without any overheating issues.
Water on battery’s is really a safety issue (fire). In this case you should be able to remove the battery from your waist in time. Water on connector was no real issue for me yet.
150a phase amps is ok. can be less too…


12s3p

Tested the waist belt a few times in the waves. Its my favorite solution for an assist.
The belt could be a bit more solid.

Nice :ok_hand:t3:!

In my experience, shoulder straps with a small strap across the chest makes a huge difference to the comfort and help make the weight ‘ disappear’.

On one of my setups I use an old DaKine windsurf waist harness which is heavily sculpted and padded, sits really nicely on the hips. Adding shoulder straps took it to next level.

Cool setup. However, I really don’t like the wire insulation. If anyone has a link to a three-wire twisted wire with silicone insulation, please share it.
