In this video, Tucker and Ryan talk about the new Foil Drive Gen 2 and share invaluable insights and tips for beginners setting up their first Foil Drive unit.
Emphasizing the importance of not rushing the setup process, we advise against heading straight to the beach for assembly. Instead, we recommend a calm, clean environment at home where small parts like screws won't get lost.
Tucker and Ryan highlight the availability of detailed assembly videos on Foil Drive's YouTube channel. These videos provide step-by-step instructions, including identifying the right screw sizes and specific cones for adapters. We suggest watching these videos on a phone or computer while assembling the unit to avoid mistakes that could lead to needing replacement parts.
A key piece of advice is to familiarize oneself with the assembly guide even before opening the package. This preparation helps in understanding what to expect and aids in following along with the instructional video more effectively.
We discuss the proper handling of screws, noting that they are threaded into stainless steel inserts embedded in plastic, not robust machine steel. This detail calls for careful handling - using the provided tiny screwdriver, avoiding over-torquing, and not using a drill, as these could damage the unit.
Setting up the foil on the board is another crucial step. Foil Drive provides track nuts with set screws, allowing for precise positioning on the board. This setup ensures that when the foil drive unit and mast are mounted on top, the bolts align perfectly. The hosts recommend using the foil drive screwdriver for this step for optimal alignment.
The video then delves into setting up the remote control, particularly adjusting the throttle limiter. This feature is crucial for matching the rider's skill level, weight, and the conditions they'll be foiling in. We suggest starting with a lower throttle limit, which can be easily adjusted on the water.
Safety is a major focus, and we advise that you always turn off the unit when not in the water to avoid accidental activation. We also stress the importance of using a leash, an impact vest, and a helmet for safety.
Tucker and Ryan share their personal experiences and preferences in board and foil sizes, emphasizing the importance of matching these to the individual rider's style and conditions. They discuss the benefits of larger boards for stability and ease of use for beginners.
The video covers the differences between the 28-volt endurance battery and the 40-volt performance battery, including the need to adjust settings via the app when switching between them.
Finally, we touch on general battery care, like not overcharging and allowing the battery to rest between uses. We also mention that currently, Gen 2 batteries cannot be flown due to their capacity, which is an important consideration for travelers.
