After 12 sessions on the water with the new Foil Dash waist-belt foil assist, it’s time for a progress update. In my initial review, we had a few open questions around thermal battery management, remote quality, and motor mount management with zip ties. Today, I break down how those concerns held up in real-world conditions, and response from Foil dashes owner, Su. We also talk on what I have liked about the waist belt, and who this system is actually built for in my opinion. If you are looking to buy a Foil Dash for wave riding vs. e-foiling or teaching, this 12-session update covers everything you need to know before spending your money. Check out the Foil Dash system and sale here: Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/foildash/foildash-assist-electric-propulsion-for-all-hydrofoil?secret_reward_token=a356b55a (not an affiliate link) What we cover in this 12-session update: Addressing the Initial Concerns: Battery heat/thermal management, remote reliability, and zip tie cable management. The Standout Features: Why the waist belt remains surprisingly comfortable after hours on the water. Touchdown Advantage: How having no battery under the board lets you skim and recover off the water seamlessly. Ideal Use Cases: Why this setup excels at wave riding and prone foiling (and why it’s not ideal for pure e-foiling or instruction).
