Is Slim Foil Drive a dead end?

Prone Surf Foiling

Hi ,

I write this out of frustration but maybe it has some point

I bought the FD slim some time ago and really enjoyed the lack of weight.I normally use an endurance battery which is more than enough for me .

The problem comes when I’ve wanted to travel .The slim travel battery it’s a joke ,paying that money for a 20 min surf doesn’t add up .

I was hoping they would release a better version but it looks like their are pushing for the electric foil market rather than assisted .

One would think that after this years a travel battery similar to the endurance could be developed but I guess is not an option for the brand ..?

I had heard rumors of new slim batteries coming. But now rumors that idea has been scrapped. I hope this gets picked back up.

What I do is to turn the throttle power down to 80%. I can get around 25 - 30 waves if using for assist this way and using 10% cruise control to help paddle back out.
