Electric foils, or eFoils, are quickly becoming a popular choice for all the yachts allowing their guests experience the water like never before. Unlike traditional water sports, such as surfing or wakeboarding, eFoils use an electric motor and hydrofoil design to lift the rider out of the water and allow them to glide above the surface at speed. The feeling of being lifted out of the water is often compared to flying and is described as the most thrilling experience.
