Kaneohe Yacht Club Demo Success, Apex Kickstarter Funded in 30 Mins, and Why Legacy eFoils Are Shaken
What an extraordinary event. Our recent Demo Day at the Kaneohe Yacht Club was a massive success, bringing together over 100 guests and putting 50 eager riders on the water to experience next-generation eFoiling firsthand.
We want to extend a massive mahalo to the Kaneohe Yacht Club and their incredible leadership team for opening up their world-class venue and hosting our team. From free gear and apparel giveaways to non-stop water action, the energy on the docks was electric from start to finish.

Pro Validation: Paul McDonald Tests the Dynamic Wings
We had our flagship fleet out in full force—including the Apex, Escape, and Alpha 2 setups. Among the riders was Paul McDonald, Hawaii E-Foil Extravaganza Race Champion 2025, who stopped by to pick up his new Escape board.

Paul took our game-changing Dynamic Wings system out for a spin, and his feedback confirmed what our engineering team has known all along: active stabilization changes the sport forever.
"The Dynamic Wings are incredible for both advanced riders and beginners. You can definitely feel the immediate difference between turning stability mode off versus turning it on."

A Historic Milestone: 100% Funded in Just 30 Minutes
The momentum didn't stop on the water. Following our sold-out Founder Series launch on our e-commerce store last month, we officially debuted our Flight Ready Series.
The launch was nothing short of historic—our campaign hit 100% funded in just 30 minutes placing XFOIL comfortably in the top 1 percentile of all projects.
- Designed in Silicon Valley: High-performance architecture, custom power electronics, and direct-drive motor engineering.
- Tested in Hawaii: Proven in real ocean swells, heavy currents, and demanding saltwater environments.
- Shipped Globally: Delivering true next-gen watercraft performance to riders around the world.
Why Legacy and Traditional eFoils Are Shaken
When you disrupt an industry built on outdated technology, resistance is expected. The reality is simple: XFOIL is vastly superior to legacy fixed-wing, geared e-foils.
First-generation brands and traditional e-foils rely on complex planetary gearboxes that whine and wear out, paired with rigid fixed-wing designs that lack active flight control. As direct-drive silence and dynamic-wing stabilization take over the market, traditional e-foil platforms are feeling the pressure as riders realize just how far behind legacy hardware has fallen.
While traditional designs try to preserve the status quo, XFOIL continues to push boundary-breaking innovation, direct-to-consumer value, and undeniable engineering dominance on the water.
