ALL ABOVE BOARD

Is eFoiling the best water sport ever? Matt Kollat learned to ride a Fliteboard to find out

The first liftoff came much earlier than expected. As I kneeled on my Fliteboard AIR, a more forgiving model for inexperienced eFoilers like me, the water suddenly felt less choppy than before. Glancing down, I saw the board hovering over the water like a magic carpet. I was instantly hooked.

eFoiling is one of those activities I always wanted to try. I’m sure you’ve seen those incredible images/videos of people riding these surfboard-like machines, effortlessly flying above the water, and thought: “I’ll put this on my bucket list!”
