VertiDrive Adjustable Telescopic Mast System
Canadian Patent No. CA 3103526
U.S. Patent Publication No. US 20220194525 A1
(In Development 2026)
Elevate Every Ride
The Halo VertiDrive™ Propulsion System introduces a completely new dimension to foiling, a Bluetooth controlled telescopic mast that allows riders to adjust foil height instantly at the press of a button. Built upon the same patented foundation as MSLED® Marine Lighting System, VertiDrive™ Propulsion System unites mechanical engineering with intelligent electronics, enabling precision vertical adjustment without tools or downtime. From training shallows to deep water performance, riders can tailor lift, stability, and responsiveness in seconds, making one platform suitable for all conditions and skill levels.
Core Advantages
The VertiDrive™ Propulsion System features a patented adaptive mast design protected under the Halo patent family (CA 3103526 / US 20220194525 A1), delivering a new level of control and innovation in hydrofoil technology. Bluetooth enabled adjustment allows riders to electronically modify mast height in real time using the Halo Controller. This instant adaptability means the mast can be raised or lowered in seconds without any disassembly, allowing riders to quickly adjust to changing conditions or skill levels. The system maintains hydrodynamic precision by preserving optimal lift, balance, and drag profiles across all elevations. Structural integrity is ensured through dual locking compression rings that provide rigidity even under extreme loads. VertiDrive is also built with future integration in mind, designed for seamless compatibility with upcoming Halo systems once commercially released. Its forward ready architecture is engineered to support advanced technologies such as automated lift profiling and adaptive ride AI modules.
Patent Coverage & Vision
Canadian Patent No. CA 3103526
U.S. Patent Publication No. US 20220194525 A1
The VertiDrive™ Propulsion System, protected under CA 3103526 and US 20220194525 A1, extends Halo’s patented intellectual property beyond illumination into mechanical adaptability and structural intelligence. It merges electronic control, mechanical precision, and modular design to form a unified smart hydrofoil ecosystem. Now that MSLED has proven the concept of integrated, controllable marine systems, Halo’s focus turns toward bringing VertiDrive to market, a system capable of real time Bluetooth driven mast adjustment. This leap will redefine performance, safety, and accessibility in hydrofoiling, a world first technology designed, patented, and engineered by Halo.
Protected Innovation & Future Roadmap
Protected Innovation and Future Roadmap define Halo’s long term vision for advancing hydrofoil technology. Through a growing portfolio of patents and proprietary engineering systems, Halo is building a foundation of protected innovations designed to shape the future of electric foiling. From integrated marine lighting systems to adaptive mechanical platforms, each development reflects years of research, testing, and real world validation. As Halo continues to expand its technology ecosystem, the company remains focused on introducing new performance driven solutions that improve safety, efficiency, and rider experience. This roadmap ensures that every generation of Halo products moves the industry forward while maintaining the strength and protection of Halo’s intellectual property.
The Value Behind the VertiDrive™ Propulsion System Patent
Halo’s patented technology portfolio represents a powerful strategic asset as the hydrofoil industry continues to expand globally. By developing and protecting foundational systems such as VertiDrive, Halo is not only building advanced products but also establishing intellectual property that can influence the entire category. As adaptive mast technology becomes more widely recognized for its performance and training advantages, Halo has the opportunity to license this innovation to other manufacturers in the efoil and hydrofoil space. Strategic licensing allows partner brands to integrate VertiDrive technology into their platforms while Halo retains ownership of the core patent and engineering architecture. This model strengthens Halo’s position as a technology leader while creating additional revenue streams through partnerships, royalties, and industry collaboration, ultimately increasing the long term value of Halo’s patent portfolio and its role in shaping the future of hydrofoiling.
