If you've ever wanted the sleek, low-drag feel of an integrated mast setup without giving up the flexibility to swap masts in seconds, the new Foil Drive Universal Mini Pod is exactly what you've been waiting for.
This has been a long time coming. Foil Drive could have rushed out a 3D-printed version to get something to market faster — but instead they've gone down the route of a fully custom injection-moulded design. That means better build quality, far higher reliability out on the water, and consistent stock availability instead of small-batch printed runs that come and go. The result is a Mini Pod that's been extensively tested and refined to set a new benchmark for quality, reliability, simplicity, and performance in a universal mount.

Toolless Install, Seconds to Fit
No tools, no fuss: the Mini Pod uses a strap and latch system that lets you install or remove it in seconds. Whether you're switching masts between sessions or just want the option to go back to a standard mount, there's no faffing about with screws or adaptors.
A Low Profile Shape That Cuts Drag
Smaller footprint, less turbulence: the Mini Pod takes on the slimmer form factor of an integrated mast while remaining 100% removable. Riders can expect improved motor traction, smoother surface motoring, easier take-offs, and cleaner recovery on touchdowns — all without committing to a permanent integrated setup.
Three-Part Design, Built to Last
Inner Pod, Outer Pod, and strap: the Inner Pod mounts permanently to your V2 motor, while the removable Outer Pod deforms to the shape of your mast and slides into place. Both are injection-moulded from ABS to handle sun, salt, and repeated use, while the EPDM straps are reinforced with Aramid fibre for strength and flexibility against UV and saltwater degradation.
True Universal Compatibility
Three straps, seven positions: the included Small (95–110mm), Medium (112–128mm), and Large (130–145mm) straps are sized to fit almost every mast on the market, with Medium covering most setups. Once you've picked your strap, the Inner Pod's 7-position ladder system lets you fine-tune tension for your specific mast — a simple solution to what's usually a complicated fitting problem.
