Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE RUSH

Fly Above the Water

E-foils let riders break free of chop and glide above the surface, creating an airy, surfing-adjacent sensation that emphasizes balance and speed without the constant impact of waves.

THE COAST

Explore the Shoreline

The activity is an immediate way to experience New Smyrna Beach’s coastline from a new vantage—skimming above water while moving along the shore to take in the nearshore landscape.

THE TECH

Electric Power Meets Surfing Freedom

This is a synthesis of surf-style balance and electric propulsion: the motorized foil provides lift and sustained glide, redefining how you interact with small swell and flat water alike.

What the day feels like

What It Feels Like

Sessions range from short bursts to multi-hour outings in which riders accelerate, rise on the foil and maintain a steady, almost hovering motion above the sea; the emphasis is on balance, subtle steering and the unusual sensation of near-silent forward motion.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this fits—and who should look elsewhere.

1
Active Thrill SeekersIdeal for those after a novel, adrenaline-tinged experience that emphasizes balance and motion over traditional surfing; participants should meet the age requirement.
2
Coastal ExplorersA compelling way for shoreline-focused travelers to see New Smyrna Beach from the water, especially on calmer days when the foil’s lift is easiest to maintain.
3
Families with TeensTeens 16 and older can ride, making this an adventurous option for families with older children, while equipment rental (and rental eligibility) is limited to adults per age rules.
4
Not for Very Young Children or Those Unwilling to BalanceBecause of the balance and movement involved (and the stated age thresholds), this activity is not suited to small children or participants who prefer to remain on solid ground.
