Hydrofoil

Designed to provide the range, speed and convenience conventional e-aircraft and e-boats lack, the otherworldly Regent Viceroy Seaglider has completed a major milestone, demonstrating the hydrofoil capabilities that serve as one of its three modes.

Whether you call it foiling, foilboarding or hydrofoiling, it's a watersport that can be difficult to master without expert guidance. The SmartFoil is designed to provide that guidance, courtesy of a compact and streamlined board-mounted device.

There's something magical about rising above the waves on a foiling electric surfboard. But the learning curve to smooth riding can be steep. Awake Boards has introduced a new model that's pitched as "the most accessible and intuitive eFoil" out there.

If you're in the market for a distinctive new ride, ENVGO's got you covered with its electric NV1 hydrofoiling boat. It's all beautiful curves, sleek lines, and high performance for when you want to tear up the lake near your family's vacation home.

Seeking to bring a more dirt-bike-like sensibility to eFoiling, Unifoil has just released an update of its handlebar-equipped electric sea-slicing machine. The video makes it look like more fun than you should be allowed to have on the water.

While hydrofoils lift out of the water thanks to an underwater fin, hydroplanes zoom along by riding directly on the surface of the water. A slick carbon-fiber scale model from startup CovaConcepts shows off the latter concept in a fun new video.

Rhode Island-based startup Regent Craft has successfully completed the first test of its full-size electric Viceroy seaglider with passengers on board, validating the company's idea for an all-new kind of ocean-faring vessel.

Despite having great sea legs, I remember feeling a little green in the gills when faced with strong winds and choppy waters on an island hop a few years back. Would the trip have been smoother in a foiling ferry? A video from Candela has the answer.

Whether you're running one of the first commercial foiling e-ferry services or not, it's important for your vessels to be on time. And right on schedule, Vessev's VS-9 has now officially joined the largest ferry operator in New Zealand.

Back in May, Vessev began sea trials of an foiling e-ferry billed as "the Rivian of the sea." A partnership was then inked with New Zealand's largest ferry company, and now commercial approval has been granted. Tickets for the first rides are on sale.

Swedish electric foiling innovator Candela has revealed that its P-12 ferry is heading to the US for the first time. Thanks to a partnership with Fly Tahoe, the craft will drastically cut travel times for tourists heading to Lake Tahoe's ski resorts.

If you like the idea of rising above the waves on foiling e-boards but would rather be seated, Finland's Foil.One has launched the Pegasus – a sporty electric hydrofoiling boat for one that was inspired by vintage F1 racing cars.
