Where can I ride an e-Foil surfboard?

An e-Foil surfboard can be used on any body of water, from lakes to rivers to the sea. You don’t need waves to propel the eFoil, as the electric motor does the propelling for you. With the eFoil you can discover unique marine life, explore new waterways or surf waves in the sea or on lakes. The only limitation is the water depth, which you should definitely pay attention to. It should be as deep as the mast of the eFoil so that you cannot go to the bottom, which would cause a crash and possibly damage the wing of your foil. If this happens, don’t worry about the unit because you can re-order this spare part. The simultaneous and unexpected fall into the water may then be more of a problem.
