FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How durable is the V3 Controller?
It’s designed specifically for marine use, with waterproofing, dual redundancy springs, and replaceable bump guards to handle real-world conditions.
What’s the difference between Trigger Mode and Gear Mode?
Trigger Mode gives you full proportional throttle control (0–100%) for maximum responsiveness. Gear Mode splits power into levels, making it easier to manage speed and ideal for learning or consistent riding.
Is the V3 Controller compatible with older Foil Drive systems?
Yes, the V3 Controller is fully reverse-compatible with all Foil Drive units.
Does the controller show battery percentage accurately on all systems?
Yes, but if you’re using Assist, Assist PLUS, or Assist Slim, you’ll need to set the correct battery type in the controller settings for accurate readings.
What is Boost Mode and when should I use it?
Boost provides a temporary increase in power for quick acceleration. It’s most commonly used for take-offs or when you need an extra push to get up on foil.
Can I update the controller software?
Yes, the V3 Controller can be updated via the Foil Drive App, allowing you to access new features and improvements over time.

Yes, we have shipped to these locations for decades by quote. Please share your address, the item(s) you needed shipped, and if an airport cargo depot pickup is possible.
Canada and International Locations?
We ship to Canada lots, and the Caribbean some. Get a quote. We rarely ship items to Europe, Asia, and Australia as it's spendy. Quotes for international orders do not include import duties.

My board made it ...
But no foot straps, fins, or vent plug?
Look closely through the packaging. Fins, foot straps and vent plugs are often concealed in a sheath of cardboard that's easy to discard. Also, check inside the board box, and shake the box to be sure. You'll likely dislodge a small box containing the missing items.
