E-SURFER

Who rides the board?

A) One person or a small group with similar weight and skill level.B) A group of people with different weights and different skill levels.For answer A), we will try to find the sportiest setup for that person. Since such a board may be too difficult to learn on, we will have the customer ride a larger board first as part of our training until they master it.

How heavy is the rider?

Here, as mentioned, we are talking about the heaviest rider in the group. In the eFoil comparison tables below we have specified the volume. A board should have no more than 10 liters less volume than the weight of the rider in kilograms. Don't forget the weight of the wetsuit, vest and helmet.

Where and how is the eFoil ridden?

There is a difference between eFoiling on a calm lake and in the ocean waves. The area has an influence on the size of the board, the wings and above all in the decision whether one should choose a propeller or jet drive. But more on this later.

eFoil comparison - Which eFoil wing?

Every board size (except the most radical models) comes with a standard wing. This wing setup has been matched exactly to the board by the manufacturer. Therefore, I can only advise everyone to start with this wing. Later on you can experiment with other wing variations to adjust the handling.I would only exclude the most radical variants of the eFoils from this rule.

Propeller or jet drive?

The first eFoil with jet drive was not available until 2022 with the Audi e-tron foil. In the meantime, I also rode other jet models.
