Electric Hydrofoil Board

August 21, 2023

 

 

The XFoil is an electric surf and hydrofoil board that allows you to glide over the water like a bird. It is made with a foam core with a carbon fiber shell, and lightweight aircraft grade anodized 6061-T6 aluminum for the metal parts. That is what makes it lightweight and portable. The XFoil is powered by a 6000W (8hp) brushless AC motor that can reach speeds of up to 30 mph.

It is the versatile design that sets this electric board apart from others. The XFoil is equipped with an interchangeable motor and mast assemblies that can be configured for a powered surfboard gliding on the surface to a hydrofoil board that rides above the water, or even a standup paddle board (SUP). Mast assemblies include surf, surf/foil hybrid, foil trainer, full foil SUP, and full foil.

Safety features include: anti-runaway, propeller guard, Instant engine shutdown, overheat protection, built-in battery management system, and self-rescue mode.

The XFoil is powered by removable, lithium batteries that are avaiable in standard and optional long range battery, for 1 hour or 1.5 hour use.
