DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The Allround Foil Drive System
The Assist MAX offers an optimized blend of power and endurance, and it is lightweight. It opens the door to longer surf sessions, reliable flatwater take-offs, and easy upwind and downwind. This allows for unlimited progression regardless of conditions. It is particularly suitable for riders under 100 kg using small to midlength boards with their favorite foil: a single system that performs in surf, wing, downwind, wake, flatwater, and light eFoil. Ideal for those seeking more thrust (heavier riders or smaller boards and foils), longer ride times, and total flexibility in how they foil.
Why a Base Kit?
There are three reasons: (1) If you're purchasing an integrated mast, the Base Kit doesn't include a motor, so you avoid paying for it twice. (2) If you already own MAX batteries and motors and simply want to add a system to equip another board, this is the perfect option. (3) For complete customization: the Base Kit provides an excellent foundation for you to assemble according to your setup. Note: the universal mast adapter is now included in the Base Kit.
