1. Choose Your System

You’ll need to decide between the Fusion, MAX+ or Slim Foil Drive. The Fusion is our most powerful system. With the power and runtime of an Efoil, the lightness and adaptability of an Assist, the Fusion earns its name as the perfect blend of both worlds. The MAX+ is our most popular kit, designed as the ultimate all-rounder with extended runtime and plenty of power for every session. The Slim, is a lightweight option created for riders who want a minimal setup and quick bursts of performance.

2. Choose your battery

Each system can be paired with different battery sizes to suit how you ride. Larger batteries deliver longer runtime, while smaller batteries keep the weight down, perfect for performance foiling and a more agile feel on the water. Whether you’re chasing endurance or chasing waves, the right battery choice ensures your Foil Drive moves with you.

Is the NSP Pelican designed specifically for Foil Drive?

Yes, the Pelican has been purpose-designed to work seamlessly with Foil Drive systems. Its shape, volume distribution, and bottom contours are all optimised for early lift and efficient assisted foiling.

Can I use the Pelican without a Foil Drive?

Absolutely. While it’s optimised for Foil Drive, the Pelican features standard 13” twin tracks, making it fully compatible with traditional prone foil setups.

What makes the Pelican different from other Foil Drive boards?

Unlike many adapted designs, the Pelican was developed from the ground up by Gerry Lopez to plane faster, reduce drag, and deliver a more natural surf foil feel, resulting in earlier takeoffs and smoother flight.

Is this board suitable for beginners?

Yes, the Pelican is designed to make foiling more accessible, especially when paired with Foil Drive. Its stability at low speeds and efficient lift help reduce the learning curve, while still offering performance for experienced riders.
