How would you like to surf around Sarasota without the body of the board touching the water?
Our exciting eFoil technology allows you the closest experience to riding a hoverboard over the ocean, and we invite you to participate. Before you do, check out this brief guide about this novel and exhilarating experience for anyone ages, 14 and up.
What is eFoil?
This is a watersports activity, which allows the participant to “fly above the water” thanks to an electric-powered board through the device’s mast and wing. It’s not an effortless experience, but with a little practice, you’ll be able to balance the board and practically levitate across Florida waters.
There are different varieties of eFoil boards, but the basic concept involves a 28-inch mast beneath the bulk of the board, while you ride by standing on top. Participants should wear a safety vest and helmet, just in case you slip or lose balance while out on the water. As long as the sea conditions aren’t too rocky, all you have to do is dress appropriately for water activity, and we’ll show you how it’s done.
Finally, besides enjoying an incredible new experience, eFoiling is also beneficial for physical fitness. For more on that, check out our previous post on eFoiling for core strength.
How Fast is an eFoil?
This is one of the most popular questions. Our models run on a sturdy, 120-volt battery, which lasts about two hours, giving it enough power to cruise across the ocean at 30 mph.
By comparison, most jet skis hit a max speed of about 60 or 70 mph, but only with a lot more machinery to do so. eFoil boards allow you to have the fastest possible watersports fun with the least amount of equipment.
