Foilboost Electric Assist: The Secret to Infinite Surf Foiling & Ocean Swell Riding

Connecting waves and riding ocean swells is the ultimate dream of every surf foiler. However, catching a swell in the open ocean or getting enough speed to launch onto a wave without a boat tow or exhausting paddle pumping is a massive physical barrier. Enter the Foilboost Electric Assist System—a game-changing modular motor assist designed to get you up on foil and riding swells effortlessly.

What is Foilboost?

Foilboost is a compact, ultra-lightweight electric motor and battery unit that clamps onto your hydrofoil mast. Controlled by a wireless handheld thumb-remote, Foilboost gives you a short 5-to-10 second burst of motor torque. This critical extra thrust provides the launch speed required to lift your board and hydrofoil wing out of the water. Once you are up on foil and gliding on a swell, you simply release the trigger and let the natural power of the ocean take over, riding 100% unpowered with zero motor drag.

Key Benefits of Foilboost for Surf & Swell Riding:

• Effortless Wave Launching: Skip the exhausting paddle phase and launch directly onto ocean swells or waves.
• Infinite Wave Connections: Use a quick burst of power to glide past flat sections and connect multiple wave energy zones.
• Zero-Drag Gliding: When the motor is off, the hydrodynamically optimized folding propeller blades fold back to minimize resistance, letting you ride the swell unhindered.
• Universal Mast Compatibility: Clamp-on design fits almost any aluminum or carbon hydrofoil mast.
