Learn to Downwind Foil with Foil Drive (even if you are time poor)
Want to learn to downwind but you’re short on time? The Foil Drive will allow you to get your shuttle done and downwind 🙌🏽 Now it’s just a question of how far upwind do you want to go?
This was my first attempt at it and was stupidly fun. Total distance was 8.49km, about 3.5 of those kilometres were downwind the rest was the upwind shuttle. The best thing about was it was all done in about 30 minutes and with left over battery. I could’ve gone further 😎
Is the same thing possible on a SUP Foil? Yes but it’s a fair bit harder and requires a lot more cardio and skill. I’ll see if I can organise a video of me doing the same on a SUP soon 😎
Head to my website www.caseyaus.com and check out the Coach Casey Club for the soon to be released Foil Drive Course.

Perfect music , downwinding or foiling in general fits a mellow vibe. Off shore wind is nice, most of the world is beating into onshore. Thanks
Foil Drive opens up places to ride. Just play safe... likely not a matter of if, but when, a battery runs out sooner than expected or other issue arises - ride a board you can paddle back to shore, carry comms device, etc.

Couldn't agree more! I was never further out than I was comfortable to swim in from. That is my rule of thumb
Music😁 Looks like so much fun!
Hey James..awesome video..very helpful. Are you using the 3 blade prop or standart 2 blades.. I have trouble going into the wind when above 12 knots..seems to stall me on the 15cm cable

I'm using 3 blade prop
Nice quick ride. That’s what I am planing to do too! Is that really a 15cm cable as you said? Looks more like a 20 or even 25cm one?

15cm cable with the GEN2 is essentially a 20cm cable 🤷🏽♂️
Awesome!!! What foil wing were you using? Seems the waves were faster than you.

I was using a 980S, better to be going too slow than too fast!!
Ive been wondering which length cable to go with? Paul is riding the 20 but your on the 15? I want to be able to pump and DW but worry the 15 will be hard to keep in the water without hitting the board on the water while motoring? Thoughts?

First go I used the 20cm cable (this video) I now exclusively use the 15cm cable. I got it wrong in the video. This is a 20cm cable but it felt too low on the mast for me when downwinding, since this I’ve used 15cm and you need to stay a bit lower when e foiling upwind but it’s worth it. I’d prefer more freedom for the DW foiling part than the upwind part but it is all a balance

@@jamescasey7393 Now it makes sense as that didn't look like 15cm in the video
