Duotone AWSI 2026: A Look at the Waist Belt Foil-Assist

Description

We stopped by the Duotone booth at AWSI 2026 to take a close look at their unique take on electric foil assist: the eHarness waist belt battery design. By shifting the battery pack off the board and onto your hips, Duotone keeps swing weight down and preserves a natural, responsive board feel.

In this video, we break down how the wearable eHarness connects to the board, how the integrated motor pod and auto-folding prop function, and why moving the battery weight to a waist belt changes the ride dynamics.
