WHY XFOIL
Our mission is simple: engineer the world's most advanced eFoil and make it accessible to every water sport enthusiast - not just those with $15,000 to spend on a legacy brand. Born on the waters of Hawaii and designed from the ground up in Silicon Valley, Xfoil combines aerospace-grade materials with military-level safety systems. By utilizing a direct-to-consumer model that completely eliminates steep dealer markups, we are finally bringing a premium, elite-performance eFoil within reach.
We don’t just claim to be the best; we’ve proven it on the water. At Hawaii’s first-ever eFoil race, a first-time rider with only 10 minutes of practice clocked the absolute fastest lap time of the day - completely dominating and beating out competitor boards that cost two to four times more.
We back our breakthrough technology with dedicated rider support. Have a question or need assistance with an order? Simply submit a support ticket and our expert team will get right back to you to ensure you get out on the waves.

TECHNOLOGY
BUILT DIFFERENT
Unburdened by legacy, passive designs. Rebuilt from the ground up with active stabilization technology to be smoother, lighter, quieter, smarter, and safer.
CARBON COMPOSITE
Hand crafted carbon fiber and fiberglass composite, the hull delivers up to five times the structural strength of steel at a fraction of the weight. Fused with marine-hardened, aircraft-grade aluminum and meticulously hand-finished, each platform is built to master the harshest saltwater environments.
SILIENT DRIVE MOTOR
Zero gears. Zero friction. Zero mechanical noise. Our direct-drive engineering delivers immediate, virtually silent thrust. By removing the vulnerabilities of traditional mechanical systems, we've created a platform that requires zero maintenance, allowing you to focus entirely on the freedom of the flight.
LIGHTER. PURE. PROVEN.
By miniaturizing the ESC by 75% and integrating it directly into the underwater motor housing, we created an elegantly simple solid-state cooling system. Submerged directly in the cooling medium, it eliminates hoses, heat sinks, resulting in a cleaner, lighter, maintenance-free propulsion system built long-term reliability.
FLIGHT INTELLIGENCE
Experience an exceptionally smooth, luxury ride with our Dynamic Wing System (AWS). By utilizing active moving surfaces, AWS unlocks a 25% increase in efficiency over a standard mid-aspect configuration, while delivering the stable, forgiving feel of a much larger wing resulting in up to 30 minutes longer sessions and over 7 miles of distance on a single charge from our long-range battery.
AEROSPACE-GRADE DEFENSE
At 25+ mph, safety is non-negotiable. Our multi-tiered architecture features clear inspection windows for instant water-intrusion checks, dual-layer battery isolation, and active thermal defense. Complete with an automatic kill-switch and a standard propeller guard, it ensures absolute, fail-safe protection.
THRUST DRIVEN STABILIZATION
Our system introduces predictive stabilization. By making intelligent, active adjustments beneath the waterline, it continuously neutralizes pitch variations as you accelerate/decelerate. It actively balances the board against throttle changes and turbulent chop, eliminating erratic movement for an incredibly stable, level, and safe flight.
SEAMLESS DIRECT CHARGING
Charge directly without dismantling your setup. By keeping the hull sealed, you radically minimize sand, dust, and moisture intrusion for a pristine, reliable system, while dropping your setup time to under 60 seconds. Yet, flexibility remains uncompromised: the core is completely swappable and upgradable.
INDUSTRY-LEADING VOLTAGE
Our flagship 16S architecture reaches a peak 67.2V—delivering 14% higher voltage than the industry's leading brands. This massive electrical headroom yields more torque, increased electrical efficiency while keeping operating temperatures radically low.
NANO TACTILE COMMAND
A weightless extension of your hand, our 191-gram remote is the smallest and lightest in the industry. It pairs a hyper-responsive magnetic trigger with a high-contrast, sunlight-readable display. Fully sealed to IP68 standards, the naturally buoyant chassis floats instantly if dropped.

Seasoned instructor and rider Fellipe takes the new XFoil Alpha 2 for a first-hand test ride, sharing honest feedback and expert impressions on the board’s performance and ride feel.
Hawaii’s First eFoil Race. We Dominated.
In August 2025, XFoil hosted Hawaii’s first-ever eFoil race. Riders came from all over, many on boards costing two to four times more than XFoil. XFoil didn’t just compete, it dominated.
Paul McDonald, riding an XFoil Alpha 2 for the first time with only 10 minutes of practice, clocked the fastest time of the day.
“Smooth, intuitive, and powerful. I recorded the fastest lap time of the day against more expensive boards.”
