Have seen a lot of reviews of the electric foil assist (e.g. FoilDrive, Duotone Foil Assist, Stoke Foiling) for wing foiling, SUP foiling, prone, and downwind, but nothing for windfoil. Has anybody tried using any of the system for windfoiling?

The main challenge I see is mounting the controller on the boom, or accessing the controller on either side of the boom. The duotone electric foil assist seemed to be best suited for this with the thumb controller. The motor should have enough thrust to boost onto the foil even with the extra weight of the windfoiling gear. But wondering if anybody has real world experience with this?

Mainly looking for an electric foil assist to maximise on water time as I work full time and there are more days of marginal wind condition than none. Plus with young kids at home, time on the water is precious. If I can get out of wind shadow and up to the line quickly,or even get back to shore safely when the seabreeze dies, that would be well worth it...if it works
