I received comments from Stoke Foiling on this. "A selection of some key changes since you tried it last: New larger motor - more powerful and doesn’t overheat the same way the smaller motor did on you. Updated electronics - designed to not overheat and uses power more efficiently for longer run time. New underboard receiver - great for prone foiling as you only need the nose slightly out of the water to be able to operate the unit. Also brilliant for down winding and wing foiling. New larger XR battery - the website images you may have seen don’t do this battery justice, it’s only 1cm wider, 2cm taller and 4 cm longer but has 50% more battery capacity. The work we did with the CFD analysis means it has only very slightly more drag than our standard “Sport” battery. Great for larger riders or longer down winders. Upgraded our standard “Sport” battery - this now has 211Wh capacity and a new BMS. New Travel battery - 151Wh capacity so that you can take it on airlines. That’s a lot in a year! But there are some more things we are working on releasing soon (please keep this information to yourself): Fast charger - the batteries have been upgraded for fast charging, and the fast charger launch will be coming soon. Improved remote - I know you didn’t really like the shape of our remote to hold in your hand. Later this year we will have a more comfortable option available."

Thanks for the video Mike!. I still prefer the jetboards, and maybe now it would be great the jetboards with handbars. The ELECTRIC JET SKI from JETSURF is a new generation that looks great!. We cant wait for your test! 😊

Nice video, hope you can test them side by side soon! Take off looks like they tried to be a step ahead of foil drive with features that the foil drive gen3 probably will have like a new controller with gps, air travel battery, cleaner cable management, fast charger, and cheaper if you take the flow. Cons: Interestingly I cannot find information on the website of take off regarding what kind of voltage architecture they use. Is it 28 volt or 40 volt like foil drive? Also like you said the durability of those air batteries looks questionable and the size of the air battery version looks indeed much bigger. Hope you can test it soon!

Agreed but to be fair I expect takeoff to be heavier / more drag. Durability of multiple connections of the batteries is another concern. Lets see!

Great overwiev, thank you Mike

So, I finally bought Foil Drive Gen2 Max Power battery, and already week in testing. To be honest, with 77L board and myself 84 kg (Foil North MA1850v2, mast 85, cable 20 cm), battery lasts only for 30 min and in total around 6km, testing each day and each time more or less the same, mostly flying with engine (20 cm high) and short pumps time to time to get higher. Do you know or mb someone can share their experience , how long should I expect ?
