we had access to 5 sunova boards with the riift box fitted, up 50l - all smicko
various riift batteries 2 3 4p, just different sizes, have box inserts too, if using smaller battery, but 4p won't fit smaller boards
armie ma2 890 surf tail170
the set up quick, still needs some polish imho, cable to the motor too long and different lengths should be offered. the cable sits on the side of the mast - not sure if that effects the dynamics much
monopod good but one strap is left proud and flappy- minor issue
motor is longer and narrower than fd, plenty of oomph and spins up very well. 3 props hub needs a tidy as screw ends protrude a bit - minor issue
controller a fd 2 clone. lost connectivity to the battery nearly every time I stopped or fell off
otherwise quiet, smooth and very usable, heaps of grunt no issue getting up on foil on the 890, im 85kg 45l board
I was impressed overall. invested in fd so need something substantial to change me over thou
locked into the one board too, but the board could be used to prone, tow boogie
pricing all important but will be viable competitor to fd, which is a good thing imho, keep them innovating

a few here in Perth to demo
looks a good set up
their minipod motor longer and thinner than FD
will have a go today and advise
good to have other options but will need to be a significant bit better for me to change ecosystem
