Foil Drive Assist Slim (Base Kit) ✶

The Assist Slim is the lightest, performance-focused model designed to preserve the weightless and natural feel of foiling while still providing plenty of thrust and runtime when used efficiently.

Built for riders who prioritise responsiveness, agility, pumping, and minimal drag, the Slim excels in short, powerful bursts to get on foil before transitioning to pure glide. Ideal for experienced riders who value balance, light weight, and reactive carving in surf, wake, windswell, and flatwater.

Weight and runtime by battery

Battery Installed weight* Runtime
Slim Performance (166Wh) 3.5kg Short bursts to pop up; session time varies
Slim Travel (178Wh) 3.7kg Short bursts to pop up; session time varies

*Installed weight includes the unit, battery, integrated high-power motor, three-blade hub, props and nose cone (if applicable). Runtimes are Foil Drive’s guide for an 85kg intermediate rider on a 5’0 40L board with an 800–1000cm² wing, in under 5 knots of wind. Yours will vary with weight, skill, kit and conditions.

Good to know

  • The Assist Slim stays on Foil Drive’s Gen2 40V platform. It does not share batteries with the MAX+ or Fusion.
  • Designed for short bursts of power to get up, then gliding. If you want long powered runs, look at the MAX+ or Fusion.
  • The Slim Endurance battery is being phased out by Foil Drive in 2027.
