2 years of working on a foil section 
. Has incredible low end making it more forgiving and less chance of stalling out while pumping. The section doesn’t have crazy camber nor is it thick, just a huge amount of protos and finessing. Mast is also crazy stiff and only 13.5mm thick with a 115 cord. This helps drive your energy into the foil while pumping.

Interested to try them when they’re available!
There’s a lot of money behind Flite, Mercury Marine (Brunswick Corp)? Do you know if they also bankrolled the foil designs? Or just the electronic & motor parts?

It’s probably faster to order form a dealer then direct! We have inventory already on the way landing any day!

Is it just the boards and electric stuff coming out this time?
I haven’t seen anyone able to get a definite date on the foils - I’d love to try the raw setup!
Foils are a bit behind. No official statement. RAW boards are available. Have a 4’4 RAW.

There’s a fault on the web page for the 707. Changing the stab will vary the price by $2000NZ 
$3,309 aud + shipping is much more palatable!

Still not available yet unfortunately. Was so excited for their foils. I’ll wait a bit longer!

Can’t wait to hear the AMP board parawing review.

Sorry for the long post, but I got to try one of these recently in Charleston, SC thanks to the local kite/foil shop, and they put this video together: FliteLab Amp Foil Board - World First Electric Foil Assist Jet Jet Foil Board - FORCE First Look. They were just looking for a few locals to test the setup. I’m not affiliated or sponsored. You’ll see in the footage that I’m far from a pro. Sharing the video because there are a couple of good clips showing the board’s potential in small waves — right at the start and again around 4:45. If you don’t want to read the post, feel free to ask any questions and I’ll try to answer.
I’m about 195 pounds. In the video, the waves were knee to thigh high breaking in shallow water. I was on a 4’-6” prototype, so not sure if it’s the same dims as the production model. Thanks to the Progression 200 for making waves this small workable and foil and actually kinda fun. Without the jet, I probably would’ve caught maybe two waves in an hour and wished I’d stayed in bed. With the jet a got about ten waves and was completely gassed by the end of the session. I was fortunate enough to fit in two prone sessions, one prone runner, and one light-wind wing session during the demo. Thoughts:
-
As others have said, this is a totally different product from a Foil Drive. I’ve only tried FD twice, and it honestly felt awkward and sketchy (I’m sure with more time on it would be fun, but having the motor on the mast has always been a non starter for me).
-
The Amp, on the other hand, was intuitive. Within 10 seconds in the lineup, I hit the jet button and was up on foil.
-
Did a 3-mile runner — made it 2 miles clean before I got greedy and fell trying some turns on the inside. The extra weight really wasn’t noticeable.
-
In tiny surf, you still need decent timing and effort, but the jet helped me pop up way earlier and avoid bashing my foil into the sand.
-
Winging, I was able to get on foil easily in 12-13 knots. I had to alter the wing presets, but once I did I had no issues getting on plane from a knee start.
-
A full-power prone boost (8 sec) uses about 4% of the battery power. You usually only actually need 3–5 sec of boost since it cuts off once you’re foiling, so you probably get 30+ boosts per session. You’ll be tired long before the battery dies unless you’re missing every wave.
-
Paddle assist is a neat feature, but it overheated on me in Charleston’s 85° water. Supposedly, this is less of an issue on the production model.
-
Everything felt solid and well thought out and the interface is pretty intuitive; however, the battery compartment seal seemed a bit sketchy. Maybe the production version is more robust? I’m sure it’s been tested but it relies on a couple little plastic tabs to hold the plug in place at the end of the cartridge.
I really didn’t want to like this board as much as I did. I’ve never been interested in e-foiling or Foil Driving given my local conditions. I’m still pretty young and fit, and I can already prone/wing/prone downwind without a motor.
Would I buy one for $8,000? Probably not — but I totally get the appeal. This could truly give you a one-board quiver, especially something a little longer like the 5’-0” model. I could see myself riding it prone or winging with or without the battery and paddling into open water downwind swell. Don’t think there would be any need to buy a larger wing, parawing, or SUP downwind board.
I do have a feeling there will be some disappointed buyers if the dealers don’t educate their customers. This is far from a beginner product and really doesn’t make foiling any easier except for maybe somebody learning to wing on one of the bigger models. Hopefully, I’ll be able to snag a used one from a disappointed customer sometime in the future!
