How difficult is eFoil?
You don’t need any prior board sport experience to ride an eFoil. Seriously—no surfing, wakeboarding, or foiling background required. If you can kneel comfortably, have decent balance, and feel confident in the water, you’ve already got what it takes. Foiling is less about raw athleticism and more about feel. An eFoil, or electric hydrofoil, is a newer kind of board that lifts you above the water. It uses a hydrofoil wing mounted on a long mast beneath the board. As you build speed, the foil creates lift—allowing the board (and you) to rise silently and smoothly above the waterline.Unlike other water sports that are limited by wave conditions or wind direction, efoiling can be done in a variety of conditions and environments. Riding an efoil is like a full body workout, it requires balance and strength, and it is also a great way to improve cardiovascular fitness.The cost of eFoils is influenced by various factors, including technology, design, electric propulsion systems, and brand reputation. The investment in an eFoil is not only for the board itself but also for the advanced engineering, innovation, and performance it provides.Why is it called an eFoil? The term eFoil is short for electric hydrofoil or electric hydrofoil surfboard.
How fast can an eFoil go?
Foils offer a thrilling way to experience the water, combining speed, agility, and the sensation of flying above the surface. With top speeds ranging from 32-50 km/h (20-30 mph), and the ability to tailor your board’s setup to your riding style and skill level, eFoiling can be enjoyed by riders of all abilities. Foiling provides an excellent workout for the core muscles. The act of maintaining balance and controlling the board engages the abdominal, lower back, and pelvic muscles. Regular eFoiling sessions lead to a stronger core, which is beneficial for overall body strength, stability, and injury prevention.
What size eFoil should I choose?
Beginners: Larger boards, such as the 5’4″ offer more stability and easier starts. Intermediate: Medium size boards like the 4’9″ provide a good mix of stability and maneuverability as skills improve. Advanced: Smaller boards, such as the 4’4″, allow for greater agility and are suited for experienced eFoilers. Size & Stability Larger Front Wings: Beginners are recommended to start with a front wing that has a substantial surface area above 200 square inches. This size not only offers greater stability but also makes it easier to balance and control the eFoil, especially for riders with a heavier build.
