Do you have a passion for sailing, snowboarding, or surfing? Are you seeking fresh thrills on the water? If so, Foiling is for you!

So what is foil ?
Foils, also called hydrofoils, work a bit kike airplane wings, they are places under the hull of boats or boards and allow, when they reach a certain speed, to rise then giving the sensation of flying over water. The analogy is often made with aiplane wings because both systems use the same physical principle of lift. Indeed, foils create a hydrodynamic lift under the effect of speed through the water.

Foil and water sports :
Technically speaking, the foil is designed so taht by splitting the water, a presure difference is created between its upper and lower part, this phenomeon generates a push that allowq the board or the ship's hull to raise it and stand out of the water. Once in the air, there is less friction with the water for the boad, the drag is less important and therefore the nautical support will gain speed. The practice revolutionizes the water sports industry by bringing new sensations on the water for the practitioners of sailing, classic boards or surfing for severals years. On the boat side, it is the sailing sports compétitions such as the America's Cup or the Vendée Globe that democratizes foiling activities.

Thus, thanks to the foil, you will gain speed, have the opportunity to access new waves, or enjoy new sensations in lightwind. Flying on the water is a unique sensation that will give you a different sailing experience than the one you already know and/or practice. On top of that, foiling will allow you to sail in different weather conditions and limit the frustration of not being able to take out your board or boat.
