🏄🏾‍♂️ E-FOIL

The next generation of e-foil boards has arrived, and it's called the Hydroflyer—a thrilling cross between a hoverboard and a jet ski that redefines what water sports can be.

The Hydroflyer is built for everyone—whether you’re a beginner or a thrill-seeker. With adjustable speed settings ranging from calm cruising to heart-pounding speed, this e-foil board makes water sports accessible to all. The handlebars provide stability, reducing the learning curve and allowing even first-time riders to get up and glide across the water.

Thanks to Hydroflyer's world-class engineering, the board features a modular design, making it easy to replace or customize parts as needed. Its ergonomic handle grips, a scooped deck for responsiveness, and a forward-facing rider position enhance comfort and performance, reducing leg fatigue during long sessions. The V-nose board design also minimizes water and air drag, providing smoother liftoffs and landings.

The Hydroflyer is not just about comfort—it’s also designed for high performance. With a top speed of 45 km/h, a range of 40 km, and a ride time of up to 120 minutes, it offers enough power and efficiency for serious fun. The system recharges fully in two hours from any standard AC power outlet, making it convenient. Its efficient hydrofoil wings help maximize glide while reducing drag, allowing for longer ride times and more energy-efficient adventures.

The Hydroflyer is powered by a 100% electric motor, meaning it requires no fuel, emits zero fumes, and produces no pollution. This makes the Hydroflyer a fun way to experience flying over water and an environmentally conscious one. The onboard computer receives signals from a WiFi controller attached to the handlebars, regulating the speed of the motor and allowing the rider to rise from the water as the lift kicks in—all while creating minimal noise pollution.

The Hydroflyer is available in different models tailored to various preferences and skill levels. The Cruiser model is designed to be the most stable, perfect for beginners or those who want a smooth, relaxed ride. Meanwhile, the Sport model is built for intermediate to advanced riders, featuring a more dynamic design ideal for carving and turning in both flat water and ocean conditions.

Whether you choose the Cruiser or Sport model, the Hydroflyer provides a blend of speed, excitement, ease of use, and safety—ensuring there's an option for every rider, regardless of skill level.

The Hydroflyer is the brainchild of cutting-edge innovators based in Canada. It aims to make the experience of e-foiling accessible to a broader audience through innovative design and technology. The company's founder, a water sports enthusiast, wanted to combine the thrill of flying with the serenity of being on the water—an ambition that has taken shape with the Hydroflyer.

The Hydroflyer is more than just a board—it's a ticket to freedom, a way to soar above the water with ease and style. If you've ever dreamt of flying, this could be the closest way to turn that dream into reality. With its combination of next-generation technology, thoughtful design, and environmental sustainability, the Hydroflyer is poised to make waves in the world of watersports.
