Gift Ideas for Your Favorite Foil Driver | 8 Accessories They'll Love!


Has a Foil Drive fan in your life been good this year and Santa needs to stuff their stocking with only the best? Or maybe they've got a birthday coming up and you want to surprise them with something they'll use every time they head out for a session. Ryan from MACkite has some easy gift ideas that will make sure they know they're special!

Dielectric Battery Grease

Foil Drives ship with a little tube of this, but you need to reapply it to the battery terminals regularly. It's something that gets used up, and this 250g tube of Dielectric Battery Grease will make sure your Foil Driver is set for a very long time. They'll be delighted knowing they won't need to worry about running out.

CWS Foil Drive Screws

The CWS Foil Drive Screws are handy for getting out on the water faster. The track nut is connected to the screw, so once you slide the track nut into the slots in your board, you'll have the screws sticking up so that you can simply drop your Foil Drive and mast onto them. You'll be able to easily slide the whole thing back and forth to find the exact position you want and then tighten it down with no tools using the included wing nuts. It's a real time and frustration saver and fits perfectly into a stocking.

Mast Track Foam Insert

The Mast Track Foam Insert not only reduces drag while you're driving up to speed, but it actually helps the signal from your remote get through the board and to the Foil Drive control unit. You'll need a set for each board you Foil Drive with, and they do sometimes get lost, so it's always nice to have a spare pack on hand.

Kaohi Foil Drive Remote Wrist Leash

The remote does come with a leash, but the Kaohi Foil Drive Remote Wrist Leash is an upgraded version that's even sturdier and more comfortable. It's a perfect example of something that a Foil Drive rider might not splurge on for themselves, but will definitely appreciate receiving as a gift. It's a standard padded surf style leash that wraps around your wrist and closes securely with velcro.

Surf Ears 4.0

Surf Ears 4.0 Watersports Ear Plugs are a must-have if you ride in cold water. Surfer's ear is caused by exposing the ear canal to cold water, and the body tries to protect the eardrum by creating bony growths that partially close off the ear canal, which can affect your hearing.

These ear plugs keep the water out and reduce the noise of the wind and crashing waves while still allowing you to hear well. Keeping the water out can also help reduce ear infections, and if you like to push yourself and take some hard impacts into the water, these can help prevent blown eardrums as well. These ear plugs are a great safety accessory and include multiple tips to fit any ear.

Foil Drive Battery Checker

Is that battery almost charged? How much time do I have left on it? This little Inline Battery Checker plugs into your battery to give you a quick reading of its remaining power while charging or while at the beach. It plugs directly into the battery and will show you what the charge is, and then you can plug the charger into that to monitor your charge level as well.

Foil Drive Fast Charger

If you want to maximize your time on the water and minimize your time waiting for your batteries to charge, the Foil Drive Fast Charger is the ticket. This 8 amp charger is going to get your battery ready to go a lot faster.

Spare Foil Drive Battery

Of course, it's even better to have an extra battery you can use while the first one is on the charger or simply to swap out right at the beach. If you're giving this as a gift, make sure you know whether they're using the Max or the Slim unit. Most people are using the Max, but a Max battery won't fit in a Slim unit, so double check that.

These are Ryan's top picks for his Foil Drive wish list. They're all items that will make a session flow a bit easier. Feel free to reach out to MACkite's elves if you want some extra guidance in your gift-giving any time of the year.
