The best thing about WA is it’s a long way from Qld.

Think of the poor cops back at the station, I’m sure they are getting heaps of ribbing from the rest of the force.

What is the "speed" ?


Speed Sailboards built race and slalom boards here in Brisbane at Wynnum. Found a pic of their last raceboard, the Formula One.

It’s a catch 22, more run time means more batteries and more weight attached to you. When I did a demo of the Duotone the weight on my waist was annoying but I guess you would get used to it.

I initially thought the Duotone would be great for flat water pump training but the belt bounced a bit while pumping and your legs still fatigued as quick due to the extra weight. I decided on the Foildrive Slim for that purpose.




I started on the FD Plus kit and progressed to the Gen 2 but never really enjoyed the loss of feels that you get having an aluminium box and battery jammed between the most important connection, also the weight on the board was a killer, I ended up using the slim kit which was better but this waist system is another level of performance.

I am just running a modified waist system at the moment so looking forward to some reviews.







Wow, your board is so thick, no wonder you didn’t want to add a Gen 2 Max between the mast plate and board. My board is 12mm thick in that location, gives excellent feel and probably less distance than most boards without a Foildrive fitted.

Hopefully you have good wind at your location, under 15 knots is no go for para.

It’s really location dependent whether Foildrive works for you. Home for me is Moreton Bay, Brisbane, without FD many days would turn into none foiling days. If your blessed with wind over 15knots 365 day/year I understand bypassing the Foildrive, but although I love the para it is crap in anything below 15knots,
Here is my week ahead, the para’s will see no use so Foildrive only. Yes Foildrive is initially expensive, but for me actually the cheapest cost per session as I’m up around 300 FD sessions per , the other days are para.

any new season feedback on yr 6’5 Pilot Mid B?






I love it so much! Best board I've ever owned. Happy to answer any questions about it. I did a youtube clip talking about my parawing board progression and talked about the Pilot a good bit in that one:



My buddy got his multicolored custom and has lost his mind with how easy it is to ride. He's learning to parawing crazy fast on it. For me it's essentially perfect other than needing the box moved forward a few inches to meet the needs of the masses!



that extra length isnt a hassle with parawing lines?

It isn’t long enough to catch the lines, and gets going easily in light winds. Pretty much the only board I use now only changing to the 95lts DW board as a novelty in sub 15knot condition..
