eFoils & Hydrofoil Boards

Experience the sensation of flying above the water. Silent, fast, and exhilarating electric hydrofoil boards.

What is an eFoil?

An eFoil (electric hydrofoil board) is a surfboard with an electric motor and hydrofoil that lifts the board above the water. This revolutionary watersport allows you to "fly" silently above the surface at speeds up to 30+ mph, requiring no waves, wind, or tow boat. It's surfing, flying, and pure freedom combined.

The eFoil market is led by major players like Fliteboard, Lift Foils, and Awake, each pushing the boundaries of battery life, weight, and hydrodynamics to create the ultimate ride.

eFoil Frequently Asked Questions

An eFoil is an electric-powered surfboard with a hydrofoil wing and motor that lifts the board out of the water, allowing you to fly over the surface. It offers a silent, smooth ride regardless of wave conditions.

Most eFoil batteries last between 60 to 120 minutes per charge. The actual duration depends on factors like the rider's weight, average speed, wing size, and water conditions.

Top speeds for most premium eFoils like Fliteboard and Lift reach between 28 and 35 mph (45-56 km/h). However, most beginners find 15-20 mph to be a comfortable cruising speed.

eFoiling is considered easier to learn than traditional surfing or kiteboarding. Most riders can hover above the water within their first 1-2 hours of practice, especially with boards designed for stability like the Waydoo Flyer ONE.

No, eFoils provide their own power via an electric motor, so you can ride them on perfectly flat water in lakes, rivers, or calm harbors as well as in the ocean.
