Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Brad couldn’t have been more helpful. The communication and service was first class and I’m so happy with the zip pod. No more catching the pod when you’re on a wave! Thank youPosted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The zip pod is by far the biggest bang for your buck for the foil drive kit. My friend has a Lift mast and a Slingshot one lock mast and I helped her install this at 20cm on both. I had ridden her board with the universal pod from foil drive and the difference with a zip pod was astounding. I had some dips when on waves and unlike the universal pod this was hardly noticeable and easy to olly right back up. Such a smooth entry and exit from the water and I do believe it gave me extra run time as well. The pod attachment is very sturdy with two or three zip ties, depending on which motor you have, the regular or the high power. I could not budge the pod after it was all put together and after five sessions it's still just as solid. I also have to give Brad kudos for his excellent customer service. My friend was leaving for a surf trip and Brad worked with her and went above and beyond to get the pods to her in time. The package comes with everything you need; an instruction sheet, the zip pod, zip ties, cable guides for a super smooth tape job, extra wide tape, nail clippers to clip the ties close to the unit and various links to instructional videos in case you need more assistance. Great product, great company 👍🏻Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. after I tested zip pod I'm very happy to bought it. Pumpig is more fluid. Easy to install, really genial the clip cable. Brad the seller is very aveleible. I suggest zip pod, it's an affordable alternative to a expensive integrated mastPosted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I tried the zip pod for the first time today and I was actually blown away. I’m going to admit I had very low expectations, I ride the shortest FD cable (12cm) so I didn’t think I would notice much difference (since I’m not dipping my pod in the water as much as I would have with a longer cable). I was wrong. On a wave, it felt fast and light for the entire length of the wave - which translates to a significant reduction in drag. I also noticed this reduction in drag just motoring around - this was more noticeable towards the end of my session when the battery dips below 20/25%. I always feel a reduction in power when the battery goes this low, but today I did not. Todays conditions were pretty average (howling offshore wind, small waves) however I do think that it significantly enhanced my session and I am really excited to see how I can further push my skills when the conditions are really good. Another thing I was skeptical about was the cable ties. They are, however, extremely strong and robust. I can’t make the pod move around at all. To the contrary, every time I throw my board and mast over my shoulder, I do feel the FD pod slip up and down a little. The ties are extremely robust, which totally surprised me. The Pod shape and material is very sleek and appears to have a very hydrodynamic design. To add to this, I foil surf mostly sandy beach breaks in NSW, Australia. I can’t see that I would go back to the normal FD pod after using the zip-pod today. I am totally surprised that it enhanced my experience so much! I think every foil driver would absolutely benefit from using a zip-pod.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Such a huge upgrade for a Foildrive kit. Very sturdy and high build quality. I love the accessories too!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 93 kg rider (plus winter wetsuit) needing as much efficiency as I can get; the Zip Pod is legit! Immediately noticed smoother entry/exit of the pod, less drag, and the ability to pump back up above the pod rather than getting bogged down as soon as it dips. The custom 3D printed fit to my KT mast is perfect. Huge difference in drag reduction over the stock pod and better execution than a competitor's pod I tried. The included fairings clean up the exposed cable and allow for smooth taping. His motor and battery compartment 3D printed caps fit perfectly and add some protection for these expensive parts. It's clear a bunch of thought and care has gone into this product and Brad's communication was excellent and helpful. Incredible value and highly recommended.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The Zip Pod is legit one of the biggest upgrades in performance that I have done to my FD setup. 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!Load more
