This story originally appeared on SUP Magazine. Words by Jack Haworth. The foiling craze is showing no signs of dissipating. In fact, it’s just getting revved up — literally. While surf and SUP foils have become the obsession of several top paddlers, one company decided to take it one step further. Meet the E-foil. Above the water, the E-foil looks nearly identical to a foil surfboard. But a peek underwater reveals a small motor attached to the foil wing that propels the craft up to 25 miles an hour. Powered by a lithium battery, riders can race around flatwater with the simple touch of a remote. We have to admit that it looks fun, but it’ll cost you. To foil around the bay sans effort, you’ll have to pony up $12,000. Apparently that’s just the price of taking the easy road. For us, we’ll stick with paddling.
