At FeelViana Wake Park on the left bank of the Lima River, riders climb onto the Aerofoils Audi e-tron Foil for guided, one-hour sessions on the Rio Lima. The e-foil—developed as a spin-off from Audi AG—pairs a sleek, aircraft-inspired design with a fully enclosed jet drive for safer propulsion and a carbon mast and advanced remote control that let newcomers and experienced practitioners alike carve the river with precision. After the ride, the wake park’s changing rooms and floating Wake Bar offer a calm place to recover and regroup.

THE GEAR

Audi e-tron Foil: aircraft-inspired, rider-focused

The sessions use the Aerofoils Audi e-tron Foil—an aircraft-inspired e-foil with an 80 cm carbon mast and a handheld remote that displays speed, battery life, and 10 adjustable power levels for precise control.

THE SAFETY

Enclosed jet drive eliminates open propeller risk

Propulsion comes from a fully enclosed jet drive rather than an open propeller, reducing the risk of injury from rotating parts while maintaining reliable thrust for carving and gliding.

THE SETTING

Wake park on the left bank of the Lima, next to Cabedelo Beach

FeelViana Wake Park sits on the left bank of the Lima River beside Cabedelo Beach, offering waterfront access for launches and a floating Wake Bar and changing rooms on site for post-ride relaxation.

What the day feels like

What riding the e-foil on the Lima feels like

Expect a session that emphasizes smooth, powered glides and responsive carving: riders control acceleration through a handheld remote while the carbon mast and foil lift you above chop, letting you trace the river’s contours with minimal drag. Sessions are structured to suit different skill levels, with the e-foil’s adjustable power settings allowing instructors to tailor the ride for beginners or push harder for experienced riders.
