An eFoil (electric hydrofoil board) is a surfboard mounted on a hydrofoil mast with an electric motor and propeller below the waterline. As speed increases, hydrodynamic lift raises the board above the water, giving you the sensation of flying.

The EVO Max Plus is ideal for beginners and heavier riders thanks to its large 130-liter board volume (170 kg max load).

Package includes the board, PowerFlight cell battery, power assembly unit, Explorer wings, fast charger, Jet ONE wireless remote, and tool kit.
