How I Fell in Love with My eFoil
Who would have thought that I, as a surfer, would actually love the sport of eFoiling? Not me. But the feeling of flying above water on an electric hydrofoil board is truly amazing. And it's super easy to learn!
eFoil business
It all started when my now business partner Jochem asked me if I wanted to help him set up his efoil business. He was going to buy efoils and needed a partner. I had entrepreneurial experience, had been in sales for pretty much my entire working life, and after all, I love surfing and foiling. A match made in heaven? You bet!
First time on an eFoil
The first time I tried a Flying Fish eFoil was at the HISWA watersports fair in Amsterdam, where I had to give a demonstration to the public. However, I had never tried it before, so I must admit I was a little nervous. But as soon as I was in the water and on the board and hit the throttle, I was surfing!
Endless surfing
Learning to surf on a regular surfboard takes years of practice, and even then, the sport remains super difficult and fickle, and the rides are short. On an eFoil, however, you can go on endlessly – or at least as long as your battery lasts ???? and the feeling is similar to snowboarding through the deepest powder snow – or to… flying. It really is the best feeling in the world. After I felt it the first time, I only wanted more and more. And then I fell in love with this wonderful new sport of eFoiling ????
