Explore and learn more about tremendous potential and innovation that foiling brings across the maritime industry and to our delightful bond with water
Wind foiling is the evolution of traditional windsurfing. It is practised with a traditional windsurf rig, a board often wider and stronger than the average and a foil instead of the fin.
Wing Foiling is a relatively new sport and refers to riding a board with a hydrofoil attached to the bottom, while generating power through the use of a handheld inflatable wing.
Kite Foiling is simply kiteboarding with the addition of a hydrofoil under the board. The foil allows you to kite along above the surface of the water. Kite foiling is faster, as the foil cuts through the water with minimal drag.
Traditional sailboats are displacement hulls with keels or centerboards. Foiling boats are ultra-light and have a wing on the centerboard and rudder, which allows the whole boat to rise out of the water.
The SUP foil is a discipline that allows you to sail above the water using a stand up paddle board and a hydrofoil. Just like wakefoil, it is possible to start with sup and ride waves
An eFoil is a surfboard with an electrical powered propeller just above the wing of the hydrofoil. This moves the board through any water. Wind or waves are not necessary.
Pump foiling is a technique used in hydrofoiling where the rider uses a pumping motion to generate lift to propel the foilboard forward in the water keeping the rider airborne.
Foiling ferries are vessels that utilize hydrofoils to lift the hull out of the water, reducing drag and increasing speed and efficiency, especially in higher waves
Foil surfing is the sport of riding a surfboard which has a hydrofoil attached to the board instead of a fin. This allows the surfboard to fly above the water. The surfer is essentially surfing the foil but riding the board.
Wake foil board system utilizes a foil that planes underwater and attaches to a traditional wakesurf board via a mast for a riding experience unlike anything else.
