  • July 13, 2017 - inconnu - Surfers could so be going up in the world – on an electric-powered board that hovers over the water with its own hydrofoil.The board rises above the waves thanks to the hydrofoil allowing the rider to skim the water more efficiently.Riders describe the sensation as “an endless feeling of hovering” The $12,000 USD / £9,270 GBP / € 10.495 Euros eFoil is controlled by a wireless hand controller and the rider's body.The waterproof controller uses Bluetooth connectivity and is designed to float if dislodged from the rider's hands. It has a top speed of 22 knots / 25 mph / 40 kh.It us made by Liftfoils , a company run by American Nick Leason from Puerto Rico.He said:” A lot of people see it for the first time and don’t fully understand how that board is levitating over the water.“The board actually has winged keel underneath it.
