Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ
Popular Question
What is Efoiling?
Efoiling is using electric lithium ion batteries to drive a propeller that is about 90cm under your board. The foil causes the board to lift up out of the water so your basically flying above the water and your foil and propeller are the only thing below the water. Smooth ride!!
How fast do you go?
Our boards top out at around 35 km/hr. We can go faster with different props. We are currently testing a high speed prop that tops out t 45 km/hr.
How long can you ride?
Alot of your range depends on weight experience and how your riding the foil. If you ride it hard you’ll get less run time but if your just cruising lightly you’ll get much more. Over the last couple of years of testing our rides to to average about 40 mins and average about 14 km per charge,
Is it hard to learn?
Like any new sport it takes some practice. We have had people up on there feet within a 1 hour lesson but most people take 3 to 5 hours to get up and riding on their feet. We can guarantee that everyone can ride on there stomachs or on their knees with in the first hour. Laughs and smile are 100% guaranteed.

Rental Questions
Here are some of the answers to all your questions about rentals.
How much time do I need to be able to stand up on that thing?
This depends a lot on your previous experience and athletic abilities. If youhave been foiling behind a boat or witha kite then you’ll be riding an efoil within your first hour. If you have surfed behind a boat or spent lots of time on a one wheel then you could probably be riding comfortably with in 3 or 4 hours. If your fresh to any board sports then you’ll probably want a 5 hour block to get up and standing on your feet.
It looks fun but I’m scared to try it?
Don’t be scared, the falls look dramatic but they are actually quite soft landings since your in water and moving relativly slow when learning. It’s great fun riding the board on your stomach and on your knees. Start with that get comfortable with the throttle then you can start working on standing up.
