Multiple Board Designs Coming
Multi-Use Modular Board Design
Modular VeFoil board design adds incredible valuable.
In less than 5 minutes you can convert your electric hydrofoil into a kiteboard, wake foil, or sup foil board. Just unplug the battery and jet-powered mast from the electrical box, and remove. Then bolt on our classic foil mast to the board and wings, and you have a foil board with a large storage compartment for gear, food, water and more!
Innovative Board Increases Stability, Floatation, and Maneuverability
The VeFoil will get you flying no matter if you are a beginner or skilled foiler, and weigh between 70kg to 100kg.
This shortened, extra thick and wider deck improves flotation and stability while standing, and allows for quicker planning to get you up on foil and safe recoveries when you lose balance. The shortened board is highly maneuverable and more comfortable to transport.
Our goal was to design a product that anyone could learn, have fun on, and ride safely. This product ideal for anyone wanting to foil and fly making it ideal for watersport schools, boaters, and commercial rental shops.

VeFlow Foil – Fly and Glide like Never Before
The VeFlow SUP foil eliminates the struggle of not being able to catch or keep up with the waves and opens the doors to riding even on the calmest of days. This unique big-wing design gives you the best of both worlds – ultra stable lift needed to get even the heaviest of a rider (250lbs) on foil and carving turns. What makes the VeFlow foil so remarkable is the speed range it provides. You can foil at 7mph or fly at speeds of up at 20 mph which is a massive rideable range you don’t find with other hydrofoils wings. If you want more speed and agility, then you add our smaller surf/sport front wing.
Larger rear wing increases stability and locks-in turns, plus the added bonus of being able to pump the foil for more speed when riding without the motor. The fuselage has two mast connection points to match your ride style. A 71 cm (28 in) mast is the ideal length for tapping into the energy of the waves.
PACKAGE INCLUDES 71 cm (28 in) mast, 84cm front wing, 48cm (20″) rear wing, custom travel bag, fuselage, brass, and titanium hardware.
Our Unique Story!
It all started when a couple of us dreamed about how cool it would be to have a remote controlled jet mounted onto the bottom of our hydrofoil surfboard so we could power out into the swells or fly around our bay when there was no wind or waves.
We imagined the unique experience and fun it would provide by using the jet to get into ocean swells without the need for a towboat or SeaDoo. And how being able to foil the waves naturally without jet power would change the way we hydrofoil forever. Surfing and foiling are two experiences that only a surfer can genuinely understand. The silent and incredible feeling of harnessing wave power is nothing short of incredible.
It was at that moment during are dream/brainstorming session a couple of us got so excited and said: “Let’s Make It!” and the dream project started a life of its own with a small Successful Kickstarter Project to get things started.
Our first couple prototypes were clunky ducted propeller units using reduction gears. But, quickly realized a propeller drive would not allow for our wave only power hydro foiling experience. Through the process of elimination (reducing size, weight, and parts) we nailed down exactly how to build what we needed, so it was streamlined, affordable, had fewer moving parts, safer, and to improve wave riding without motor power. Now, nearly 18 months later we have something revolutionary.
Thanks to the 366 fellow backers/supporters from around the globe who share the same passion about this incredible experience and product who donated money to help us create the product, we are proud to say we now have the product we have all been dreaming about!
We are truly blessed to have such an incredible team and loyal supporters as it would have never happened without the crowdfunding, and crowd-design ideas from everyone. We are proud to say that we don’t have any research and development costs. Thus we can pass the savings on to you!
