Introducing Foil Drive

Foil driving, also known as hydrofoil surfing, combines the thrill of surfing with the cutting-edge technology of hydrofoil boards. Foil driving involves a board equipped with a hydrofoil—a wing-like structure mounted below the board with a small hand-controlled moter. As the board gains speed, the hydrofoil lifts the board above the water, reducing drag and allowing for a smooth, fast, and nearly silent ride over the waves.

This innovative design enables riders to catch even the smallest swells and experience a sensation akin to flying above the water. Whether you're carving through waves or cruising across calm waters, foil driving offers a unique and unforgettable aquatic adventure, while giving you the building blocks to advance your wing foiling.
