DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Boost Your Signal Performance
You'll notice a much more stable and consistent signal while riding. The external antenna picks up the signal from the top of your board and passively sends it to the FoilDrive unit below. This smart setup gets rid of signal dead spots and drastically cuts down on dropouts out on the water. Gen2 Assist MAX and Assist Slim users will see fewer interruptions during power delivery and transitions, making for a smoother, stress-free session.
Sizing and Compatibility
Choose between a 130cm or 180cm cable to match your board. The 130cm cable is perfect for most surf-foil setups, while the 180cm length works best for SUP-foil boards or any setup where you need to mount the antenna further back. The antenna is fully compatible with both Gen2 Assist MAX and Assist Slim. You may need M6 or M8 bolts for mounting, depending on your foil.
Built to Last
This antenna is built tough, with a 2mm thick body and materials selected for the marine environment. It's designed to handle impacts and saltwater spray while keeping a low profile on your deck. This robust construction ensures it will hold up session after session, no matter what the elements throw at it.
Easy Installation
Installation is straightforward, even if you're not a pro with tools. The antenna mounts on top of your board, with the cable running down to the FoilDrive unit below. Just pick the 130cm or 180cm cable, grab the right bolts (M6 or M8; 65mm for Assist Slim, 85mm for Assist MAX), and you're set. Always double-check the alignment and make sure everything is tight before you hit the water.
On-the-Water Performance
On the water, the antenna has zero impact on your foil's performance or feel; its only job is to manage the radio signal. With the antenna properly positioned, you'll see a huge drop in connection losses, especially when powering up or flying low. Its low-profile design stays out of the way, never interfering with your board's shape or glide.
Tips for Buying and Care
Make sure to choose the right cable length for your board and double-check which bolts you need before ordering. After every session, give it a good rinse with fresh water and let it dry completely before storing to protect the connections. If you switch between Assist Slim and Assist MAX, remember to check your bolt length and threading. After a major wipeout, give the antenna and cable a quick inspection before your next ride.
