DOWNWIND OPTIONS with the Foil Drive Gen2

This video I get into the different options for downwind with a Foil Drive. Whether you chose a sinker or an 8 foot downwind board, the Foil Drive removes frustration and adds a layer of safter to help ensure your next downwinder goes well.

Nice perspective, ironic since I was looking at Appletree skippers yesterday for the first time, thinking about my use case for a downwinder.

2024 Appletree Skipper DW Prone is a pretty sic option I would like to try that 57L with a Foil Drive. 🤙!

What are your thoughts on downwinding a new mid-length board around 5'6 x 19" @50-60L? I'm thinking they might have the best of both worlds in that they get going easy, good to turn and give more 'safety volume'.

[@foilfanatic]

I was thinking the same. I want something that will get a very small foil going easily and is long enough that the paddle still makes sense. That also provides plenty of float if something goes sideways. That will definitely be something I try in the future if I can get my hands on one.

Got run out of Sebastian today, no vessel registration, supposed to register and display 3 inch letters on the side…..impossible obviously, have you run into this?. Thanks, Don

[@foilfanatic]

no, but they bring in extra patrols for Holiday weekends. Thanks for the heads up.

Very helpful video thanks. What cable length on the foil drive are you using with the larger board?

[@foilfanatic]

I typically use a 15 or 20. I am not sure what I had on that day, but likely the 20.
