Duotone Foil Assist?

So just saw Duotone is making foil assist with battery on the body. Not sure how people feel about being strapped to the battery by a coiled power cable?

How it looks

Stats


Some people are happy " - waist mounted battery, I can say FINALLY!" but some people are concerned that with a risk of battery fire (even very small) being strapped to burning battery in the salty water seems like trouble.

Your opinions?

Not a fan about this battery placement

Hi Mike

You have to have a leash anyway and a hip leash is in my opinion best for SUPing and Foiling.
So to place the battery on the hip leash is an elegant solution to the battery placement problem to reduce drag.

I personally will wait for the Flitelab amp jet for me that seems a more elegant solution. Any thoughts?

Thanks Chris
