What is an AMP_Board?

AMP_Board is compatible with AMPJet (a revolutionary board-based jet, assist system). Together they are the future of assisted foiling, offering one setup for prone foiling, winging and downwinding. AMPJet uses a battery cartridge system that swaps out in seconds and is positioned centrally inside the board for reduced swing weight and zero extra drag. Think of it as assist when you need it, mind-bending unassisted performance when you don’t, in a super stiff, carbon construction layup for next level riding. 

AMP_Boards come in the following sizes:

AMP_S 4’2 - 4’2 x 17.5” x 3.1” - 27L - 7.9 lbs
AMP_S 4’6 - 4’6 x 18.5” x 3.1” - 32L - 8.8 lbs
AMP_S 4’8 - 4’8 x 20” x 3.5” - 40L - 9.7 lbs
AMP_M 5’0 - 5’0 x 18” x 3.5” - 45L - 10.6lbs
AMP_M 5’8 - 5’8 x 19” x 4.2” - 65L - 11.5lbs

Weights are approx. ± 5%

How do I go from assisted to unassisted foiling using the AMPJet?   

The modular cartridge system means you can change faster than the conditions.  It’s super easy, just whip out the jet cartridge, replace it with a lightweight blank cartridge (AMP Blank) and you’re ready to go. The whole process takes seconds. 

What is the difference between assisted and unassisted foiling?  

Unassisted foiling is foiling under your own steam, using paddle power or a wind wing to get up then the wave or wind to stay up and maybe a bit of pumping in between.  

  Assisted foiling is a whole other ball game and involves a motor and battery to help you get onto a wave and up on the foil. eFoils have the motor at the bottom of the mast so you can use the power in flat water or waves. Then there are assists designed with the motor at, or near, the top of the mast like AMPMast. This allows you to use it to get going or keep going when the board is very close to the water, but then when once you’re fully up, you can keep the motor out of the water for less drag and rely solely on the power of the wave or wind. Then there are assists with the motor in the board, like AMPJet. This gives you a boost on to the wave, or to get up in light wind and because the motor and jet are contained in the board, once the board has left the water, you have zero extra drag and generate energy via the wave, wind or by pumping those legs. Think of this as a bridge between pure foiling and eFoiling. 

What is the difference between the AMPJet and AMPMast?  

The AMPMast is easier to master, while AMPJet offers the ultimate in performance and a purer foiling experience. See useful features of each below:

AMPJet:

It’s the best choice for downwinding and winging as there is nothing on the mast. So once you’ve used the boost to get up, you’re away.  Plus you can sink-start in under 10 knots with a lower volume board, if you know what you’re doing.

For surf foiling it suits riders who just use the assist to get up and can then catch waves before pumping back out without the need for the jet, and since there is nothing attached to the mast, there is no extra drag.

AMPJet is a “hands-free” operation, so it feels the most natural and closest to prone-only foiling, allowing you to paddle and foil with nothing in your hands.

AMPJet is the cleanest and most discrete solution as the propulsion system is fully contained inside the board.

AMPJet offers the fastest interchange between assisted and unassisted foiling as all you need to do is swap the powered AMPJet cartridge with the AMP Blank – a foam replacement and you’re ready to go. It’s perfect for whenever the conditions change and takes just seconds.

AMPMast:

AMPMast is easier for foilers to master because it gives riders more of an assist thanks to the motor that’s integrated inside the mast and so stays in the water for longer. This makes it easier to get up foiling and allows you to catch more waves by hybrid eFoiling back out, if you haven’t learned to pump back out yet.

It’s the best choice for flatwater starts too, again because the motor is below the surface.

The motor is fully sealed and integrated into the mast for reduced drag and maintenance.

You can use it to hybrid eFoil upwind to then do a downwinder.

You can use it on a lake to get up on the foil, then practise pumping around the lake.

How safe is the AMP Range?   

At FLITELab* safety is our middle name. I know, we blame our parents, but we also take safety super seriously and the entire AMP Range has been designed with safety as the number one priority.

AMPJet is super contained and no more dangerous than a normal prone board, thanks to its completely enclosed impeller. An arming system prevents accidental motor operation, while Advanced Tilt Detection immediately shuts down the motor and stops the impeller from spinning, in the event of a fall. With any hydrofoil there’s always a chance of hitting it so it’s important to follow the rules for using a powered device in the water to lessen any risk to you or other water users.

How long do the batteries last with AMPJet?   

How long’s a piece of string? (kidding). The runtime depends on several factors, including rider weight, board size, foil size, and conditions. The jet operates in two modes: Boost and Paddle Assist.

Boost: Provides a short burst of max power for around 5 seconds (+/- 2 seconds).

Paddle Assist: Delivers low power for 1 minute to help you paddle back out.

With the maximum of two AMPCell_142s installed, you get approximately 40 Boosts / Paddle Assists, giving most people enough power for a session lasting around 2 hours. 

What is the additional weight on top of the weight of the board?  

Depending on the configuration, the AMPJet should add an extra 3.5kg (One AMPCell) – 4.5kg (two AMPCells) – give or take - to your set-up. The good news is it’s perfectly placed over the lifting force of the front wing for minimal swing weight, so once riding it feels more agile than expected.

Are the cartridges reusable or do you need to purchase a new one every time? 

The cartridges are of course reusable. Whichever sized AMP board you own, the cartridges are compatible across the entire range. So, once you have an AMPJet you can easily move it from board to board.

Can I fly with the AMPCell_142 batteries?  

We’ve worked hard to make sure our AMPCell batteries can be taken on airlines, but this is still subject to airline approval. 142Wh is below the maximum watt hours permitted by most airlines in most countries, so check with your airline first and remember the batteries will have to be taken as carry-on.

When will AMPMast be available for purchase? 

Now that AMPJet is out in the world, AMPMast is next in line and we’re putting some serious hours into making sure it lives up to our ambition of making the best performing mast on the market. We’re aiming for a 2026 release.
