Silent flight
above the water.
FoilFun is about one thing: flying above the water. eFoil, wingfoil and electric watersports, plus brand guides, current prices and our full model comparison.
ExploreWhat is an eFoil?
An eFoil is an electric hydrofoil surfboard (you'll also see it spelled e-foil or e foil). Above a certain speed, the wing under the board lifts you clear of the water and you fly almost silently over the surface. You don't need waves or wind. An eFoil works even on a mirror-flat lake, and Lift says most riders are up and flying within their first session.
How the technology works, how you learn to fly and what gear you need: it's all in our eFoil guide. Our comparison table puts 30 current models from seven brands side by side.

The foil sports
Which eFoil is right for you?
The market falls roughly into three segments, and their prices overlap. Here's the short version; the full breakdown is on the comparison page.
You're just starting out
Boards with a handlebar are the fastest way onto the water: the Flite Flitescooter or the Aerofoils Hyperfly. Among classic boards, Waydoo calls its EVO Max Plus (130 l) the largest and most stable board in its EVO range.

SiFly says it assembles its eFoils in the EU: the Rider line starts at €4,999 excl. VAT, backed by a two-year warranty, and EU buyers pay no import duties.
SiFly models →You want premium
Lift and Flite are the two reference brands, each with a mature ecosystem. A rigid board costs from $10,999 at both, but that buys fiberglass (or Flite's Soft Top 2), not carbon: carbon starts at $12,599 with Flite and $13,999 with Lift. Flite's inflatable AIR starts at $8,999.

More than foils: electric watersports
A foil is not the only quiet way across the water. Premium electric boats, jetboards and motorized SUPs are part of the same scene, and we keep an eye on all of them.
FoilFun covers foil watersports, now also in English. Prices and technical data come straight from the official manufacturer pages, and the brand pages say when we last read them.
Frequently asked questions
What is an eFoil?
An eFoil is an electrically powered hydrofoil surfboard (also written e-foil). Above a certain speed, the wing under the board lifts you out of the water and you glide quietly over the surface. Wind and waves don't matter, which is why an eFoil feels as much at home on a calm inland lake as it does on the ocean.
How much does an eFoil cost in 2026?
Going by the makers' own stores, read on 3 October 2026, SiFly's sets cost €4,999 to €7,999 excl. VAT and Waydoo's €5,807 to €9,546 in its European store. Lift and Flite both start at $10,999 for a rigid board, and Flite's inflatable AIR at $8,999. Aerofoils asks €11,799 to €14,999, Awake €12,990 to €13,990 plus VAT for the VINGA Carve, and Flite's Marc Newson Series starts at about $21,000. Entry level, mid-range and premium overlap, so check each board on our eFoil comparison page, which lists 30 current models with prices.
Where are you allowed to ride an eFoil?
That depends on the water. Rules for motorized boards differ by country and often by individual lake, so check your local regulations before riding. Calm, open water away from swimmers and boat traffic is the ideal place to start, and many schools and rental centers around the world let you try an eFoil before you buy one.
Is eFoiling hard to learn?
No. Lift says most riders are up and flying within their first session, and Flite says complete beginners can learn to eFoil in minutes on its Flitescooter, which has a handlebar. You learn lying down first, then kneeling, then standing; a coach makes the whole process faster and safer.
