Fuerteventura's trendy water sport this summer

31 July, 2024

Every summer has its own song, as well as its favourite sport. In the case of the island of Fuerteventura (Canary Islands), electric foil is taking the island by storm this summer. A unique water sport that allows the user to glide over the water with an electrically propelled hydrofoil for a smooth, thrilling and absolutely eco-friendly ride.

Its battery recharging system and its silent motorised propeller technology have a minimal impact on the environment. The main advantage of electric foiling is that it is a sport that is complementary to windsurfing or surfing, since, if the latter need wind and waves, in the case of electric foiling a calm sea without wind is the best setting.

It is a sport that requires more balance than great physical strength. On their boards, aficionados enjoy a wonderful feeling of zero gravity over the ocean waters, while onlookers enjoy watching the artists of the sport draw unique pictures over the water.
