Hydroflyer has launched a new entry-level electric hydrofoil designed to bring foiling to a broader consumer audience.
The Hydroflyer AL is the result of four years of the company working toward making foiling more accessible to everyday riders and forms part of Hydroflyer’s new three-tier product lineup.
A key differentiator for Hydroflyer is its handlebar-based riding platform, designed to make the sport safe and easy to learn, providing additional balance and stability while riding.
The system is aimed at allowing beginners to learn the fundamentals of foiling more quickly while also offering experienced riders greater control at higher speeds.
Since day one, our goal has been to make foiling more accessible without compromising the riding experience.

The Hydroflyer AL has been developed to lower the barrier to entry for new riders, with features including an aluminum mast, fiberglass components and a carbon fibre board.
“Since day one, our goal has been to make foiling more accessible without compromising the riding experience,” explained Jerry McArthur, founder of Hydroflyer.
“The AL is an important milestone for us. It brings Hydroflyer’s safety-first design and unique riding platform to a much wider audience, while still delivering the performance and excitement that makes foiling such an incredible sport.”
Two additional models
Alongside the AL, Hydroflyer has introduced two additional models designed for riders seeking higher performance.
The Hydroflyer CF features full carbon fibre construction and incorporates the brand’s latest remote control and user interface.
The high-performance Hydroflyer FF is at the top of the line up featuring a new motor, mast, battery and onboard computer system delivering up to 10,000 watts of power.
The FF also introduces Hydroflyer’s next-generation Android-based user interface, enabling riders to customise throttle curves, configure take-off behaviour and monitor ride data in real time, with future updates expected to include integrated mapping and water-depth information.
