The 1500 is a playful and fast foil for quick turns and higher speed. The name DRIVE comes from the feeling of riding quad-bikes. In choppy waters or when you make a mistake, the DRIVE stays trimmed like a 4×4, and does not foil-out or pivot down. Helping you progress. The fuselage has an additional position to mount the tailwing further back, which increases the length stability for heavy riders or when windfoiling. Made in a premium Factory assures durabilty. The titanium screws don’t corrode so you can leave your foil assembled a very long time without having the problem it later won’t come apart. Comes with bag and wingcovers that also fit while foil is assembled.

LET’S GO INTO DETAIL

 

1500 cm2 frontwing with 87 cm Wingspan.
The 3K carbon Hydrofoil DRIVE 1500 is a very good combination of: lift, speed and trimm. Let’s break that down. Easy to lift comes from that the frontwing is slightly arched. It does not have too much arch, like an old-school low-aspect foil, which lifts great but is too slow when the wind picks up and then feels dragging. But the frontwing arch is also not too flat, like a high-aspect foil, which is much harder to lift out of the water and is super-fast. It is just in between, which is why we call it medium-aspect.

 

Tailwing with 42 cm wingspan.
The tailwing for the DRIVE 1500 has a thin horizontal profile with short wing-tipps turned up, to offer quick turns.

 

Construction.
The DRIVE series is made in one of the best factories for hydrofils which produces for the world top brand. We are humble and thank that it produces for us so we benefit from the experience of other and making a solid product. All parts are CNC cut. The screws are titanium so zero rust and no corrosion. We especcially wanted this because we like ourselves to keep the foils constructed together over a long period of time and still want them efffortlessly to come apart again afterwards. All screws same size Torx (super easy-assembly). Including a hard-steeel torx key so you don’t wear out the key or the screw.
