MY FOIL DRIVE JOURNEY - 100 hours GEN 2 long term review

An honest in depth review of the Foil Drive Gen 2 after more than 100 hours of use. Follow my Foil Drive journey and learn more about the good, the bad and the ugly things I encountered on my way. I bought my first Foil Drive more or less the day Gen 2 went public. I mainly use it to surf tanker waves on my local river here in Germany, but I also use it for pump foiling, SUP foiling, flat water paddle-ups and on downwind runs. These days I do own a Foil Drive Gen 2 Slim and a Max but for most of my user cases I still prefer the Slim. After making some videos on the Foil Drive Gen2 for my channel, Foil Drive asked me to join them on the Fehmarn Foil Festival. We had a great time and ever since I do support Foil Drive Europe on some events. I became a brand ambassador but nonetheless this video reflects my honest and unbiased opinion and thoughts on the system.
