Practical guide
How does a hydrofoil work?
A hydrofoil is a set of underwater wings that generate lift as they move through the water.
Simple physics
Why does speed matter?
At very low speed there is not enough lift. As speed increases, the board starts to feel lighter.
Stable lift matters more than maximum speed.
Control
Why does body position affect height?
Small weight shifts change the balance of the system.
Smooth movements are more useful than sudden transfers.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Does the foil float?
No. It must move through the water to generate lift.
Why not fly too high?
Stable height control is more important.
Location
