Axis Foil Drive Board
*Custom Fitted Board Bag Is Included*
When we started designing our AXIS dedicated Foil Drive boards with Dom and Jamie (Foil Drive specialists and AXIS Foils Global Ambassadors), we knew that the outcome would be spectacular. Dominic Hoskyns and Jamie Wise from Foil Drive, together with Adrian Roper from AXIS have indeed created the perfect Foil Drive board, in 3 unique sizes, addressing all levels, conditions and styles or riding.
The AXIS Foil Drive boards are based on a longer and narrower shape, with a very flat section in the rocker to allow the Foil Drive Gen2 to fit nicely. They run with less drag than a shorter wider board and make it very easy to get up on foil. They have been extensively tested to have a solid signal through the board, so no cutouts between the Foil Drive remote control and controller.
We wanted the AXIS Foil Drive boards to be full carbon, similar to the rest of the AXIS Foilboards. So the contruction is Carbon top and bottom with a PVC sandwich on both sides. This layup makes for a stiff board that gives a direct connection to the foil, while it’s still lightweight and strong. To maximize compatibility with all foil models and riding styles, we built with long (32cm / 12.6") mast tracks.
Finally, we created a custom fit bag that will hug the AXIS Foil Drive boards (Sold Separately), but also has extra depth that will allow to keep AXIS Foil Drive board connected to the Foil Drive system, and still have the board nicely protected.
Sizes:
- 5’0” x 19.0”, 50 litres
- 5’4” x 19.5”, 60 litres
- 5’8” x 20.0”, 70 litres
While we designed the AXIS Foil Drive boards with Foil Drive Gen2 in mind, these boards will also work great as prone boards, and prone downwind boards, for the more advanced prone riders who have added downwind into their regular foiling routine.
North Sonar HA Front Wing
The Sonar High Aspect Front Wing Series is engineered for the highest speed and efficiency possible across a range of disciplines – from kite foiling to prone foil surfing. With this style of wing, you need minimal pump and power to generate glide. The shorter chord length defines the profile thickness, and with a thin profile comes reduced drag. The span gives you stability and a slightly longer radius turn than a lower aspect ratio wing of the same size. The wingtips are refined to ensure there is no ventilation when you tip breach, giving you the ability to crank tighter radius turns at higher speeds, without losing speed.
Sizes:
850 / 950 / 1050 / 1150 / 1250 / 1450

North Sonar SF Front Wing
We’ve engineered our Sonar Surf Series for super low stall speeds, effortless pumping and surf-style carving. Ideal for riders wanting more from surf and downwind swells (with or without a wing). The foils insensitivity to angle of attack change forgiveness means you don’t have to be an expert or have perfect pumping technique. A refined balance of roll stability and manoeuvrability gives you confidence during pumping and take-offs, and the ability to initiate powerful rail-to-rail carves. Push it harder, lip stall and lay down banking turns, knowing tip ventilation is a thing of the past. Reduced distance between the mast and front wing makes for faster, tighter pivoting turns. We’ve kept the span similar between the three sizes, providing the same ride feel across the entire size range. The SF promises that frictionless sensation of glide at slower speeds. Responsive and agile. With intuitive recovery. Wakesurfing ten waves back, prone-surfing, wing-surfing, pumping or mastering the downwind. The Sonar SF Series. At one, with it all.
Sizes:
SF830 / SF930 / SF1080
Features:
- Recommended with S215 Stabilizer
- Super low stall speed
- Effortless pumping
- Surf-style turning (smooth rail to rail and surf yaw snap)
- Forgiving and accessible for faster progression
Gen2 Foil Drive Assist Max
The Foil Drive Assist MAX is the flagship model, for the ultimate in hybrid electric assist foiling. As the name suggests, the Assist MAX offers the maximum thrust, run time and versatility!
The kit includes everything you need to turn your existing foil and board into an electric assisted foiling machine.
The Foil Drive Assist MAX is perfectly suited to those looking for extra thrust for heavier riders or smaller boards and foils, longer ride times and ultimate flexibility of how you choose to foil. Surf, Wing, Downwind, Wake and Flatwater, the Assist MAX does it all!
Tech specs:
Maximum Thrust: 27.5kg (60.6lbs) with Three Blade Alloy Props
Weight Range: 3.4 - 4.5kg (7.4-9.9lbs) depending on battery
Dimensions: L415 x W250 x H50mm
Operating Voltage: 40V
Runtime (Generalised): 40min-4hrs depending on use case, battery and other variables.
Recharge Time: Appx. 2-3.5hrs (Power Battery)
Batteries: IP68 rated dust and water resistant.
Battery Options:
MAX Power Battery
The largest MAX battery offering the longest run time with high power performance. This battery must be used with the Assist MAX, Nose Cone A.
- Volts: 40V
- Energy: 498.69Wh
MAX Sport Battery
The smaller, lighter MAX battery, with a reduce weight and runtime. This battery must be used with the Assist MAX, Nose Cone B.

- Energy: 332.64Wh
Gen2 Foil Drive Assist Slim
The Foil Drive Assist Slim is the smaller, lighter, performance-oriented model, for the ultimate in performance hybrid electric assist foiling. Despite its small size, it offers plenty of thrust to get you on foil easier and sooner, though the smaller batteries do reduce the run time.
The Foil Drive Assist Slim is perfectly suited to those just looking for an extra boost to get on foil or to ride smaller boards and foils. The Assist Slim is not suitable for prolongated periods of motor assisted riding, it simply provides the boost to get up on foil and ride more. Advanced Surf and Downwind riders will love the low profile and weight but will need to be very disciplined on the throttle usage. Wing foilers simple do not need the run time usually and will also appreciate the low profile and weight.
