Charger FAQs

The choice depends on how quickly you need to get back on the water and your battery setup:

  • Standard Charger: A high speed charger for active riders, charging a single Air battery in 30 minutes or an Endurance battery in 1 hour and 20 minutes. So you can get back on the water right away.
  • Lite Charger: A relatively slower option, charging a single Air battery in 1 hour or an Endurance battery in 2 hours and 40 minutes.

All chargers work in tandem with our improved Battery Management System (BMS) and are equipped with Auto-Balancing features i.e. The battery packs self-balance while charging, which prevents voltage mismatches and ensures the longevity of your cells.

  • TakeOff Evo: Simply plug your battery into the main unit and turn on your remote. You’ll then see the charge level on the remote display. You can also buy a battery checker that directly shows you that charging level while & after charging.

TakeOff White Logo - Manta Foils

3 Blade Folding Propeller - Manta Foils

3 - Blade Folding Prop

More thrust for faster acceleration, top speed, and heavier riders.
Improved efficiency with reduced cavitation at full power.

Propeller FAQs

  • 2 Blade: Perfect for lightweight riders and beginners. If you want more push, ride heavier or with a smaller board/foil, get the 3-Blade.
  • 3 Blade: Provides more thrust and higher efficiency, making it ideal for those seeking maximum power.
The folding design is specifically engineered to minimize resistance when the motor is not in use, such as when gliding or surfing a wave. The blades fold back to create a streamlined profile during unpowered flight and open automatically when the motor is engaged.
Your standard kit comes with the 2-Blade Folding propeller. The 3-Blade Folging propeller is available as an optional accessory and is compatible with the entire TakeOff range. Riders can choose the propeller that best matches their specific use case and the propeller can always be changed with basic tools.
Thanks to the fully enclosed design of the Performance Motor, you enjoy a maintenance-free experience. The propeller and motor require just a quick rinse with fresh water after use. The system is designed to operate without the need for bearing maintenance or lanolin sprays.

The 2-blade folding propeller is light and makes it easy to move and turn. The 3-blade folding propeller gives more power and speed, ideal for heavier riders or those wanting a high-performance foil assist setup. 

Yes. The 2-blade folding propeller uses less energy, giving longer rides, while the 3-blade folding propeller provides more thrust and speed but can drain the battery faster. Choosing the right propeller helps balance power, speed, and ride time for your TakeOff foil assist system.
