- The future of foiling is here… say hello to FLITELab* AMP… handsfree assistance into unbroken waves (or wind swells) with no motor on the mast (no drag)… in my experience and my opinion, hands down the best assistance based product on the market (I’ve tried the others)… down winding on a 4’2” and a 650cm2 wing is next level!

Glad you included the 'Take Off'
100%. It’s where all the magic lies!
Beats me how he even got up on foil.
@@mitseraffej5812there a jet inside the board which gives 25kg of thrust! 😄
Interesting seeing the differences in these hybrid foils.
An efoil is effortless but heavy with crazy range. The FoilDrive is easy to get up and you can pump and carve or sink it a lil and have effortless propulsion with potential drag.
This has zero drag, helps get up into tiny bumps and then you gotta work to keep it up. Seems ideal for prone surfing waves that aren’t breaking. Or snagging windswell you’d normally need a big SUP and skill for.
Can’t wait to see these! Gotta love technology
Yeh it’s wild isn’t it. There is also a hybrid efoil option like a foil drive available, just way safer and not clunky with duct tape etc. but this is the one for me cause the motor on the mast thing is way draggier and awkward!
This is mesmerizing. All of it. The flitelab board, those takeoffs, the riding, the conditions, landscape and epic drone footage.
Cheers mate. Came together nicely!
Great edit Adam. Really conveys the simplicity of using that setup. Bonus points for the continuous drone shot that, IMO, is also one of the best downwinding clips I've seen yet 🔥
Cheers mate! Yeh had to put the whole clip in cause it shows how the landscape changes so drastically!
Bravo! One of your best videos to date!
Thanks man! 🙏🏼
The lift efficiency of the foils on those boards is quite extraordinary.
Crazy isn’t it!
What a shot, starting at 1:18 until the end in a single capture!
Yeh it really demonstrates what’s possible with this amazing piece of technology 👍🏼
Seeing you paddle into that first wave was insane!!
Wild isn’t it!
That's the kind of downwinding I can get onboard with! 👌🤙
It’s the only way moving forward!
This is probably the best invention in human history. Sign me up.
Let’s go baby! Yeeewwww!
😂 along with 12 note piano, I agree!!
Haha
First footage I've seen that actually gets me stoked about downwind foiling. didn't quite realize there was power involved until after watching the whole thing and reading comments. Well done!
Yeh mate, it’s the future. It’s crazy what’s possible with this thing. And it makes down winding so much better cause you’re not stuck riding a giant board and foil! Surf foiling the whole way with no consequence of falling!
@@misterbennettscan you give me the référence of you device that gives you the burst of power? Thanks
It’s called an AMP board by Flite lab, check it out here… au.fliteboard.com/pages/flitelab
Also..... Stunning drone work👌
Yeh Benny is the best on the drone!
More gold from up North! Cheers mate - loved every bit of it. Your years of surfing and know how are clearly on show here - you know exactly where the wave energy is and your fluid style is mesmerising. Have to shout out to your drone pilot who does a great job too (I do some myself, but not at this level!).
Just home from a great bodysurfing session with my 13yo son at Freshwater here in Sydney. We even listened to Fleetwood Mac on the way there! Cheers and thanks - very inspiring stuff - Dave
Cheers mate 😊
Cheers for the kind words mate. It’s wild what we are able to do in the ocean now. Benny is next level on the drone. He has nimble fingers haha. Yew!
I could have watch the video during 1hour. So good. The music fit well
Thanks man!
Looks epic mate and Tune! yeeeeew
✅✅✅
Fabuleux !! Awesome !
So eager to try it !
It’s so fun!
Products like this and the Foil Drive Gen2 will revolutionize foiling!!!
💯
DW sends on a prone size board. Extra style points!
It’s the only way to do it. Makes down wind so much funner!
Thanks for sharing. I have 2 boys (18 and 24) working hard and saving up to buy their first FliteBoard (both grew up Wakesurfing behind our Malibu boat). This will only push them to work harder & smarter :) You are a huge inspiration, many thanks !! Great choice of music too.
Cheers mate, they’ll love the Fliteboards! 🤙🏼
Holy f*#$kn jet-sleds Batman!!!! WTAF!!! That go-go-jet-thrust-in at 1.15 on the beachy and then the uncut take from beach to way-out offshore DW is so sick. It's like the future decided to thrust is it's way out to the past and just dance around it. Well done. I can see the dust beginning to settle on my wings they way it did on my kites when foils first arrived. . . . Here we go. The future is thrusty.
Haha amazing! Let’s go baby!
i knew that if I waited long enough, I wouldn't need to learn to SUP to be able to DW 😎🤣
That’s exactly what I did. Been riding this for about a year now and haven’t had to learn SUP. It’s a full cheat code!
Monster paddle out ? But wow this is the best prone surf foiling I've ever seen ! How did you manage that take off ! 😮👏👏
The beauty of the AMP board. It’s next level!
Glorious.
😄😄😄
Unreal! That board looks like it’s motorized it goes so good.
It is! 👍🏼
@@misterbennetts no way! That’s killer. Super fun to watch you rip on it.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Would love to get some gear review/recommendations. This looks epic, and i really want to get into it, but i want to make sure im choosing the best gear for my conditions
It’s a bit of a rabbit hole. It depends on your conditions, your weight, your height, your surfing/wave knowledge ability. Hard to give advice without knowing all of that.
always thought a jet motor made more sense than the prop... clever!
Yeh it’s genius!
siiiiick..how much extra weight with jet cartridge compared to your normal board? weight of board without cartridge? cheers!
Weight of board alone will be about 3kg. Pretty much the same as a normal prone board. Just here 6kg with the cartridge 🤙🏼
Amazing really
It really is amazing what this thing can do!
F-ing awesome!!
✅✅✅
Friggin awesome
So epic!
So cool.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Dude wow. Absolutely slaying brother! This has me reevaluating my life haha When is this coming out and do you know the price point?
It’s crazy! Sign up to FLITELab’s website for all the info 🤙🏼
Third or fourth watch in at this stage. So sick! As an avid SUP downwinder and prone foiler the biggest concern I have to going to this amazing product is a failure 1km or more from shore... maybe I'm being overly cautious but I would be keen to hear your thoughts 😊👍
You just get straight back up. I was able to get up 1km offshore on a 650cm2 mid aspect wing. On a big down wind wing you’d have no problem at all. Way more power than a SUP!
Looks nuts, gamechanger! Any idea on the release date? Also hows the AFS? Silk or pure?
Won’t be out for a few months. SILK all the way. Pure doesn’t turn at all!
@@misterbennetts 850? looks so fast it could even be the 650!
never mind, I just read in the comments that it is a 650... with the 132 tail!
allright, I'll need to try that when summer comes. thanks for the inspiration.
Yep, 650. Bloody good!
You gotta change yo Name into..., The GRANDMASTER !!!
😀😀😀
after viewing the video, I was still left wondering what innovation this product has that will change future designs.
There’s a jet in the board 👍🏼
How about them costing less than a car?
Haha it’s gonna cost way less than a car!
What is the recovery plan if unable to get on the foil?
Use the paddle assist to power in like you’re on a longboard 👍🏼
Nice! How much does the board weigh? And how many starts do you get on the battery? Like how many minutes of thrust per charge? Cool concept. Can’t wait to see exciting products like this hit the market! 😎🤙
It’s going to weigh between 6-7kg with 2 battery’s in the cartridge. You will get around 40 boosts per battery (so 80 per full cartridge - 2 batteries). You can customise the boost length from 1-10 seconds and set your own acceleration curves and delays etc depending on conditions. can’t wait for the world to get their hands on them!
@@misterbennetts Thx for the info! Looks pretty cool! 😎🤙
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I’m amazed at how easily you can paddle into those swells with such a tiny board! Is there something special about that foil?
Yeh it’s a new product we just launched with FLITELab* - it’s called AMP. It’s a prone board with a jet in it! 🤙🏼
@@misterbennetts Ok, thanks. If you’re in touch with them then please tell them to put a link to their site in the description of their YT videos and pin it in a comment. If they use all the htttp stuff in the link then it will be a clickable hyperlink.
Will do. There’s a link in my CZcams description as well if you didn’t see that?
Nope! It will cost as much as a foil drive + the cost of a prone board 👍🏼
@@misterbennetts I hope for the day that a setup like that won’t cost me 2 1/2 times what my used $5000 06 Toyota Sienna cost me.
Omg so sick
So fun!
That's something!
It’s crazy!
This board seems high tech . I get the jet is an insert but how easy will it be to fix the “smart” board if a connection to the jet from the launch pad fails? If a foil drive breaks you can order a component or get a new remote . If the board malfunctions wouod you need to get a new smart board? Seems awesome but also seems double the tech that could malfunction betweeen the jet insert and the board compared to foil drive or manta take off where the board isn’t “smart”. Love the idea but at this price point concerned about durability and upkeep costs. Any thoughts on this?
The control panel is a small circular puck that screws in and out of the nose of the board. So it couldn’t be easier to replace anything as it all comes out of the board. Fliteboard has the best customer service in the industry with customer service teams operating globally 24/7 and issues resolved usually within 24-48 hours plus service centres all around the world. The board itself is just a chassis that holds the cartridge (with jet and batteries) and the control panel and it also rides exactly like a normal prone board without any of the ‘tech’ in it, just like in my latest video - check it out 🤙🏼
@@misterbennetts I saw the video . That was pretty sweet! Also , the removable puck control board as described sounds good and easier to manage. Any idea at all when this might get to customers ? Will the insert to convert it to a jetless board come with the board? Thanks!
Should be out 2nd quarter of this year. And yep as far as I know the blank cartridge will ship with the board so it will be ready to ride as a normal prone board. You can also ride it without the blank cartridge. The puck also will be able to track all your wave data and pumping cadence etc via gps. 🤙🏼
Wait? What? Take my money.
Let’s go baby!
Next level assist ! Where’s the motor connected?
My understanding is it’s a module that slides into the rear of a board. Could be wrong.
Not much seems known. But seems promising if the company can produce em.
Yep that’s it. It’s a cartridge with a jet in it. Slides in and out of the board and can be replaced with a blank cartridge so you can ride the board as a normal prone board. It will also have a wireless remote you can clip to your wing ding handle so you can wing on a board as small as 4’2 with a tiny foil. It’s a down wind, prone and wing board all in one! ✅✅✅
How does it work? Where thrust comes from if no motor?
Leidenfrost Effect. Mr Bennets is so hot he creates a layer of vapor under the board which reduces the friction thus enabling effortless paddle ins.
From the board. There’s a jet inside the board that slides in and out 👍🏼
Haha
I'm amp'd about this!
Same!
That's a bingo!
Yes sir!
Good batteries
Very good!
How steep a wave can you surf with this kind of foil?
Pretty much any wave you can surf, you can ride this foil on it!
Ok how do you get back upwind and against the direction of the swell? Both wind and swell are directional but how about getting back home? What am I missing here?
You make sure you have a car or bike waiting at the other end 🤙🏼
@@misterbennetts Thanks for the quick reply brother! That makes perfect sense. Couple more questions ….Is the jet assist just to get you going fast initially? And what triggers the jet to come on? Does it work full time or just initially? Thanks man!
@TheNaturalust yep, it’s just to get you on foil. Once you’re on foil you can then ride the ocean wind bumps. There’s a control panel on the deck of the board near the nose. You press a button and it turns the jet on and boosts you into a wind swell. The board then senses once the board has left the surface of the water and turns off once you’re on foil 🤙🏼
@@misterbennetts Thanks so much, that answer is exactly what I was looking for. Jeezus if was only so easy to communicate with my wife! 😂
@TheNaturalust haha 👍🏼
probably cost the same price as the original series 1 Fliteboard when it came out though :(
Unfortunately it’s wayyyyyy cheaper than that. Think Foil Drive Gen 2 prices 🤙🏼
Do you have a ballpark range for release and ballpark range of board size for prone surf?
We are aiming for a 2nd quarter of 2024 for the release and there will be a 4’2, 4’6 and 4’10 AMP board as well as a couple of AMP wing board sizes up in the 60-80L mark. 🤙🏼
thanks! So wouod they be 30, 35 and 40 liter boards ? Also any rough idea on price. I have looked at the manta take off and foil drive to get asap which I wouod think as in beginning stages they would keep me up on foil and maybe help me learn to pump despite the drag . However , purely to get into waves this seems better as hands free and cleaner. Hard to wait especially with manta having great crowdsource prices for a product I don’t even know if is on the budget , price hint of price drop soon?
@robertchristopher7426 yep, something similar to those volumes. Price wise should be similar to Foil Drive + the cost of a prone board. Nothing locked in though. If I were you; I’d wait, this product is levels and levels above anything else on the market 🤙🏼
Hmm so maybe up to 1000 bucks more than foil drive gen 2? That could be pushing 7000 all in . Thanks. Hope some clarification soon as I have preorder on another system and it is to be finalized fairly soon for payment .
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Can you put the amp on any board?
You can put any foil on the AMP board, but you can’t put the AMP mast on any board as it needs the batteries to run the motor on the mast 👍🏼
Hells bells!
Awww yeahhhh!
👍🍺 Ripping Master Bennetts
🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
It's going to change surfing worldwide..
✅✅✅
how many liters is your board?
This one is 27L 🤙🏼
Foiling is moving up so fast.. next step would be integrating modular prop systems into custom shaped boards. No one would notice who got the juice
That’s exactly what this is! ✅✅✅
Pff too good to be True 😅🤩😁
It’s very good and very true ✅✅✅
Sweet baby Jezzuz
💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽
Which AFS foil is that?
650 SILK 🤙🏼
@@misterbennetts incredible edit like always, 650 with 132 stab?
Thanks! And yep, that’s it!
Say no more… future!!!
✅✅✅
Once I have one, I'll foil as well as you 🙈👍😜😎
✅✅✅
whaaaaaat!
😁😁😁
This music is from? I know the original is from Fleetwood Mac.
It’s a Pychemagik remix 🤙🏼
Many thanks!
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Wow
😀😀😀
whaouuuuuuuh
Yew!
Witchcraft!
😆
Haha
How the f did you take off there.
FLITELab’s new AMP board!
Stoke to live in these days....so much happening
Same!
How? 🤯
Battery- powered jet board
Yep that’s it. It’s a cartridge with a jet in it. Slides in and out of the board and can be replaced with a blank cartridge so you can ride the board as a normal prone board. It will also have a wireless remote you can clip to your wing ding handle so you can wing on a board as small as 4’2 with a tiny foil. It’s a down wind, prone and wing board all in one! ✅✅✅
Game changer!
How many cycles in a cartridge?
This would only require a tiny battery right?
Who makes it?
How heavy?
Curiosity piqued!
I buckled and went to Instagram and got all the details. So rad! Congrats!
Haha sweet. Yew!
Omg
The future!
I never get how foilers get out so deep in sea. Surely not paddling?....
Most of the time you start in the corner of a protected headland so you only have to paddle out a few hundred meters to the wind line. Once you leave the headland and get into the wind line, you usually go across the bay and out to sea.👍🏼
Thank you for explaining. Sounds like a lot of walking, but looking at how fun the ride is... Definitely worth it.
@jaspervonsee not if you drop your electric bike or car at the other end… or if you get a lift up to the takeoff spot and just foil back to your house 😁
This Byron?
Sure is 👍🏼
@@misterbennetts took me right back to my backpacking days...
Hasn’t changed a bit, excerpt for house prices 🤣
@@misterbennetts I was bumming it in my car anyways 😁
😅😅😅
I WANT IT! NOOOOOOOW
Oooh it's with a motor, fck
Haha yeh don’t you want it even more now! Down winding on a 4’2 @ 27L board with a tiny foil. There’s nothing quite like it!
I keep thinking that any minute now there's going to be an attack of a great white shark😮
😅😅😅
Tallows? Isn't the price going to be around $15K??? That's gonna put it out of reach for a lot of would be users...Financing that would not be easy..I mean I love what it can do BUT $15K
Yep, Tallows! Nah gonna prob be half that I reckon 👍🏼
ok, wow - no more blown out shoulders trying to paddle up a SUP?!
Nope, that’s why I never bothered with it because I’ve been lucky enough to develop this product over the last year. It’s a complete game changer!
Please no more❤❤❤

Les loulou, ce ne fait pas rêver vos surf de houle. Mais tant mieux, que les filets prennent la houle? Les surfs resterons campé sur les vagues. Et ce n est pas demain que tu feras un tube. Kenavo

eed to give these to the Mexicans
🤣🤣🤣
Everyone is dropping downwind videos and only a few are worth watching… like 2 or three guys tops, Mr B obviously one of them. Wilcox in heavy seas… Mcflowi whipping the tips… who else…? Oskar because he can give entire review while foiling… Casey, nah, kuey naw. Kuey should take up hula with his over inflated hand and hip gestures… ha. Mr B… yea!
Haha. Appreciate you watching! 🙏🏼
@@misterbennetts … Sky Rama needs to be on this team… he’s another no SUP paddle animal that would just go bonkers with this… yea!
@hisurf4688 haha yeh he would love it!
10k... To expensive....
Who said it was 10k?
The link in your discription?@@misterbennetts
It doesn’t have any info on pricing though? Where did you get 10k from?
Bro.. I click the link. Click on shop and see those high prices of 9/10 even 16k...
All your products are to expensive for what they are
Zero drag and zero explanation
Haha. Zero drag is my kind of thing. That’s why I never liked the foil drive. It’s a cartridge with a jet in it. Slides in and out of the board and can be replaced with a blank cartridge so you can ride the board as a normal prone board. It will also have a wireless remote you can clip to your wing ding handle so you can wing on a board as small as 4’2 with a tiny foil. It’s a down wind, prone and wing board all in one! ✅✅✅
Ohh, I’ve wasted my life, haaha
Haha
A normal surfboard will be faster than these things,Where I live there are guys that ride these on the river and honestly they're like a skateboard for the water,and electric skateboard will be much faster than these things.
Im sorry but you couldn’t be more wrong. Hydrofoils are significantly faster than surfboards. It’s simple physics with the drag co-efficient. Why do you think America’s cup boats use hydrofoils - because they are way way way faster with no surface drag 🤙🏼
I can build something better.
Please send me one to test
Do it. The more the merrier!
Disco mac sucks!
🙃🙃🙃
Just stay away from the surf with the actual surfers with your pesky motorized board
Haha no worries, I’ll be catching 20 times the amount of waves you’ll ever catch and having way more fun 🤙🏼
Were you not at least partly shitting yourself being out that far? Especially falling off? lol
Yeh kinda haha
