SUNOVA Foil Drive Trench – engineered for maximum Foil Drive performance
The Foil Drive Trench is a collaborative design developed with the Foil Drive team, purpose-built for Foil Drive Gen 2 and Gen 2.5 (Fusion) systems. Based on the proven Foil Drive board platform, the integrated trench delivers seamless system integration and ultra-early planing.

Shape & Design Details
The Foil Drive Trench features a pulled-in nose and tail combined with a parallel mid-section, allowing the board to be laid over aggressively without rail catch while maintaining excellent tracking and early planing. Rolled rails with hard bottom edges maximize planing area, balance volume distribution and ensure efficient water release. The rocker is kept relatively flat with a subtle nose kick and light tail kick to assist pumping and take-offs. A subtle rounded V in the nose blends into a flat midsection, improving touchdowns while maintaining glide with Foil Drive assistance. The concave deck brings the rider closer to the foil and extends all the way to the rail edge, maximizing usable deck area.
Conclusion
The Foil Drive Trench is the ultimate board for Foil Drive users, offering the perfect balance between usability and performance in one highly refined design.
