Efoil Dubai

eFoils are designed considering flat water cruising with their propellers offering constant thrust. Their components, like the props and wings are optimized for speed and efficiency, rather than for sharp turns and maneuvers required in wave riding.

Depending on one’s learning curve and watersports experience, the level of difficulty for eFoiling varies from person to person. If you’re comfortable surfing on a wave, and have a good balance; eFoiling may come as an easy game for you.

It’s generally considered easier than traditional surfing. However, taking lesions from professional instructors beginning from calm water is a must.

eFoils generally require a much lesser level of power than jetboards. Generally, the most commercially available eFoils come equipped with motors ranging from 5 Kilowatts, which can accelerate the speed of up to 50 KM/H at maximum speed. In some cases, some eFoils with racing wings use the power of 6KW, exceeding the speed of 50KM/H.

In general, you need to carry your original passport while renting an eFoil in Dubai, confirming your age of 16 and above.

To ride an eFoil (electric hydrofoil), people do not need waves, and the motors perform the propulsion powers to sail through the water, making it more effort-saving. It’s most recommended to use on flat waters. eFoil boards are bigger, making them more difficult to transport, however, their maintenance cost is lower.

Hydrofoil, similar in looks of an eFoil, needs to be operated with the help of windsurf or sail, as the power comes from wind and waves, making it usable in the spots with strong winds or waves. Hydrofoils are generally smaller and lighter boards, making them easier to transport. Hydrofoils are at least 4 times cheaper than eFoils.

eFoiling experience can be compared to deep snow-boarding due to its smooth movements. It’s rather closer to a surfing experience than a jetboarding experience. eFoiling is much easier to ride, giving a smooth and stable feel to the rider. It’s a quiet water sport activity that runs through an electric motor and propeller.

Jetboard is a more intense watersports activity with steeper learning curve, offering potentially higher speed and a bit more of noise as it runs by a Jet Drive propulsion system.

All eFoils are products of intense R&Ds, testing, prototypes, and are carefully hand-crafted. They are made of carbon fiberglass. Apart from the production methods, high quality raw materials and R&D expenses; eFoils’ higher price can also be attributed to the emerging technology, brand value and market positioning.
