It took a while but in the end the thing reached me and was working :)
The trottle works. But there is definitely room for improvements. I would love to see better connectivity. Also a Trottle with a leash/cable would be great. As sometime when around other surfers I use a leash from the back of my board to to my hand. If that had a cable inside that went allt the way to the battery pack we could have connectivity 100% even when popin small 15l sinkers boards. AlsoI wish for a mouth piece so I can hold the controller and give gas by biting onto a "mouth controller mount." would be great when winging and both hands are occupied with the wing or parawing.
I'm one of those super satisfied customers with the Foil Drive. Besides enjoying surfing immensely, I've never had any major issues with the equipment. A latch has never broken, only the accelerator has gotten stuck at 100%. I received my Foil Drive in January 2024. All the best, José Carlos Aleixo
