Foil boarding is a water sport that involves riding a board equipped with a hydrofoil, which is a wing-like structure that extends below the water's surface. As the rider gains speed, the hydrofoil lifts the board above the water, allowing for a smooth and elevated ride. This technique reduces drag and enables the rider to glide over the water with minimal resistance. The sport can be practiced in various water conditions, including oceans, lakes, and rivers. Foil boarding can be done using different types of boards, such as those used in kiteboarding, wakeboarding, or windsurfing, making it a versatile and exciting activity for water sports enthusiasts.
