Thanks for your interest in our Duotone Foil Assist. We’re stoked to see so many Aussie and Kiwi foilers keen to learn more about our system and give it a try.
What makes the Duotone Foil Assist different?
The Foil Assist is not a standard eFoil, it’s an assist system designed to enhance your foiling skills, not replace them. The goal is simple: more time on foil, less effort getting there, and a setup that still feels light and agile under your feet.
Here’s what sets it apart from other systems on the market:
Ultra-light and agile feel thanks to the unique battery-in-harness design
Watch Ring Remote keeps your hands free, allowing natural movement when paddling, popping up, winging, or carving
Low drag, clean design that stays close to the feeling of a traditional foil setup
Quick assembly and easy transport - light enough to carry, simple to rig
Fully compatible with your existing gear, including non‑Duotone boards and foils
Plug-and-play battery system for fast installation and battery swaps
Air travel–friendly, fast charging batteries (fully charged in ~1 hour)
The result? A Foil Assist setup that feels surprisingly close to riding a standard foil, just with the extra propulsion exactly when you need it.

The Foil Assist
The Foil Assist features a motor mounted high up on the mast. It delivers just the right amount of power to help you motor out or take off on a wave without the weight or feel of a full eFoil.
Catch more waves and recover faster between rides when surf foiling
Link bumps more easily when downwinding
Foil even in marginal wind or wave conditions
Perfect for experienced foilers who want to foil more and maximize every session.

The Foil Cruise
The Foil Cruise features a lower motor position for smooth, consistent propulsion, making it ideal for easy cruising and fast progression.
Learn to foil in just a few hours
Perfect for flatwater cruising or building confidence in small bumps
Lighter and more modular than a traditional eFoil, the Cruise setup lets you switch boards and foil wings as you progress all while keeping things practical and fun.

The Midfish
Originally designed for the Foil Assist system, the Midfish is one of our most versatile foilboards. It performs exceptionally well in prone foiling, making it easy to get onto waves of all sizes. It’s also well-suited for wing foiling on flat water and in waves, as well as for parawinging.
It features a mid-length shape with a narrow outline, designed for powerful carves while maintaining total control. Thanks to its slim design, the connection to the foil is direct, offering an outstanding responsive feel. The low rocker contributes to a flatter surface area, providing greater stability while riding and making it easier to get up on foil.
