Both visitors and Capetonians alike can now enjoy one of the city’s other main attractions – Efoiling. Let yourself embrace the adventurer within through the cutting edge of technology. This new and easy watersport is quickly gaining attention.
A full day out in the Cape Winelands has never been more appealing – get your heart racing and work off that cheese and wine you’re about to enjoy at the local estates. Feel a thrill like no other as you find your glide on an Efoil.
What is eFoiling?
eFoiling, the new watersports craze that feels like flying, is known as “everyone’s sport” for its ease and accessibility. Similar to surfing and supping, eFoiling is performed on a piece of equipment made up of a lower foil attached to a higher board. An electric motor and propeller at the bottom are controlled by a remote in the rider’s hand. The foil lifts the contraption, creating a floating feeling.
Without the need for waves or a boat to pull you along, eFoiling can be enjoyed on any large body of water – making it the perfect new water sport for those living in landlocked areas to try out on dams, rivers, and reservoirs.
