You can barely feel it now when the pod touches down so no more sudden nose pitch issues when you drop in at full speed and get to low with a pod touch down. The other perhaps even more significant upgrade is that it completely solves ventilation and cavitation issues on choppy days. I feel invincible now on the FD even with my short cable mount which is as close to the board as possible. These are custom fit for every supported mast and have been extensively tested. Solid product and great support. Thanks Zip Pod!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The zip pod is better than expected. Solid and durable. Very noticeable reduction in drag. I’m getting an extra 15 minutes from my battery. Absolutely no reason to buy an expensive integrated mast. The money saved can go towards other equipment.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Massive improvement over the standard pod and a significant step up from the Magic Flow Pod. I only realised after the session that I never once felt the pod touch the water. It was that clean. Once you ride it like this, there’s no going back. And the best part? I can still use my existing masts for prone and surf, without having to drop $2,000+ on an integrated mast setup. Absolute win.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Loving my Zip Pod! Way less drag when you get low on the mast which is especially important on larger waves and for “digging out of a hole” when pumping. Really well engineer and I appreciate the little details in the packaging. I know Brad put a ton of testing into the product so I’m confident it’ll take a beating. Get one!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Was super impressed with the pod. Have tried an integrated mast and this was similar if not identical performance. Brad is a talented engineer who has invested a massive amount of thought into every design choice. You are buying a product that has been refined and rigorously tested. As far as riding performance goes It is not comparable to the original fd pod the allows the pods to enter the water with way less drag. The overall set up is far quieter and reduces battery usage significantly. On the same Foil in flat water, it takes 70% throttle to taxi with the original fd pod but with the zip pod that drops down to 60% throttle. Even if you plan to get an integrated mast In the future, it is a no-brainer to try this now! Literally the cost of a tail wing.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. For any intermediate to advanced rider, the Zip-Pod is easily the most impactful upgrade you can add to your Foil Drive kit. The reduction in drag is immediately noticeable with how much smoother things feel when powering out. For me this isn’t about motoring faster, but with less power reducing the hippo fart situation —it translates directly into extended battery life, allowing for longer sessions and more waves. For my real world numbers I went from motoring at 65% thrust to 55%. Ride times are so variable based on conditions I don’t have reliable session duration. The most impressive part of the Zip-Pod is how it stabilizes the ride. High-speed "pod dipping" no longer pushes the board around; in fact, you’ll likely only notice the pod is in the water if you’re actively thinking about it. For anybody connecting waves by pumping you’ll immediately gain the ability to grave dig higher on the mast after dipping the pod. For me, an OEM pod dip meant pumping was nearly immediately done. Since putting on the zip-pod I have gone from connecting a max of 3 waves without the motor to over ten a few times. Sorry to use a tired phrase but, “that’s a game changer!” I will NEVER run the OEM pod again.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’m a BigDog , 230lbs, so I need all the help I can get to reduce drag and increase performance on my Foil Drive setup. The addition of the Zip Pod has really helped. My take offs are better and touchdowns are fast and smooth, no more hitting the breaks when dipping the pod. The installation is super easy and with 3 zip ties it is rock solid. Lots of bang for the buck , I highly recommend picking one up, you won’t regret it.Load more
