Description
Low Range Propellers 6%
Set of 3
If your riding involves choppy water, upwind work, tight wave riding, or higher motor positions, this is the prop to reach for. The LR 6% is 6% larger in both width and diameter than the standard prop, which means it spins at lower RPMs and puts more grip and thrust where you need it most — at low speeds and during recovery.
You'll notice the difference on takeoff, when you're bogging down near stall, and when surface motoring through messy conditions. It won't push your top-end speed, but that's not what it's built for. This prop keeps you riding longer on a charge and gives you more control when conditions get technical.
Ideal for: Wave riding, upwind sessions, choppy or messy water, assist motor positions, riders who prioritize efficiency and low-speed recovery over top-end speed.

What Foil Drive has to say:
Prioritize low end power for strong take-offs and thrust when bogging down or near stall recovery.
Wider and Longer by 6% compared to the Standard Propeller, adding surface area and overall propeller diameter.
The larger diameter means the props spin at a lower RPM, reducing top end speed, but improving low-end thrust, cruising efficiency, surface motoring.
Benefits:
- More low-end thrust
- Better surface motoring
- More control through surface chop
- More traction/grip on take-off, re-entry
- Improved near stall/low speed recovery
Trade-Offs:
- Reduced top-end speed
Who Is It For:
A great option for riders needing more thrust at take-off or recovering when bogged down, from low speed touch down or near stall.
