Super Stability & Super Handling make even the choppiest waters feel like silky smooth riding.
XFoil 2 is a carbon fiber electric watercraft that can glide on the surface and fly above the water for riding in lakes, rivers, and oceans. It’s the world’s first hydrofoil with a computer-controlled gyro system with active moving control surfaces designed to automatically cancel turbulent waters/wind. XFoil’s new game-changing technology, derived from fighter jets, enables super stability and super handling, making even the choppiest waters feel like silky smooth riding.
“We created XFoil because an awesome watercraft should not only be accessible to the elite. Everyone should be able to have a superior, no compromise top end hydrofoil at an affordable price.” -Paul Lowchareonkul (XFoil Founder)
*Spec based on Performance Long Range battery option.

XFoil’s gyro stability system, called “Omega,” implements technology derived from fighter jets. Central to the system is a 6-axis gyro that automatically senses changes in roll, pitch, and yaw, and counteracts these external forces 1000 times faster than any human, delivering the smoothest, most maneuverable, and easiest-to-ride hydrofoil ever created. The computer system enhances your control rather than working against it. You remain in full control, but with significant improvements.
Dynamic Wings Are Superior to Fixed Wing
Today’s hydrofoils are severely limited in their capabilities. Without moving control surfaces, similar to a hang glider, the rider’s weight distribution on the craft is the sole means available for control. This method has limited effectiveness, as gusty winds for hang gliders and turbulent waters or winds for hydrofoils make stable control nearly impossible and dangerous to operate. XFoil’s dynamic wings, derived from fighter jet technology, surpass fixed wings in nearly every aspect.
Prototype in Action
XFoil is designed to be the easiest board to learn on. Whether you’re a beginner or an expert to water sports, XFoil allows you to build riding confidence in progressive steps. Learn on your own time and progress to the next riding style whenever you feel comfortable.
XFoil can transform from a powered surfboard that rides on the surface of the water to a Hydrofoil board that rides above the water. Standup paddle board (SUP) configuration is also available for a pure foil riding experience. The electric motor can be attached to different mast assemblies to suit your desired riding preference.
XFoil measures just 65.5 inches (166 cm) long, and is shorter than child size surf boards.
XFoil 2 conveniently fits into mid-size sedans making transport to any water destination virtually effortless. The board weighs only 29 LBS (13.2 Kg)*.
XFoil’s lightweight carbon fiber construction is 5x stronger and 5x lighter than steel. Unlike other EFoils manufactured from inferior materials like fiberglass, EPS plastic, foam, or air inflatable, XFoil only uses the best hand-laid carbon fiber engineered to absorb waves, increase lift, and minimize drag while delivering unsurpassed comfort and control.
Industry’s smallest, and lightest eFoil wireless controller. Latest Bluetooth, magnetic touch trigger, and an OLED display. Waterproof IP68 can be submersed beyond 1m. Data telemetry, cruise control, anti-runaway, supreme control with multiple user profiles. Built-in lithium battery can operate up to 45 hours on a single charge with built-in wireless charger.
XFoil 2 includes a 6000W (8HP) brushless maintenance free motor that can be detached with our patent pending mast attachment assembly allowing you to achieve surf, foil and SUP configurations by simply moving the motor from one mast to the other.
Having the option for a detachable motor allows for future motor upgrades when new technologies emerge and makes it easier to service. The motor is Direct Drive. This means that the motor directly drives the propeller without the use of gears. Gears reduce the power transfer efficiency and creates unnecessary noise that disturb swimmers, sea life, etc. XFoil’s direct drive system coupled with the High Performance Propeller is silent, making it the quietest EFoil.
Industry’s highest voltage eFoil batteries operating up to 67.2V (14% higher than the nearest competitors). Higher voltage means less heat, better efficiency, more power on tap and longer run times.
Utilizing the latest top grade cells with unsurpassed energy and power density while maintaining super light weight housed in aluminum armor. Standard Range batteries are lighter (14.2 LBS) ideal for sessions about 1 hour. Long Range Performance battery is heavier great for long distance travel and sessions over 2.5 hours.
XFoil has many mast configurations to choose from depending on your riding style
- Surf (Included in Pro Package) – Rides like a powered surfboard. No more paddling with your hands, catch the waves with power on tap. Great trainer configuration for getting familiar with XFoil.
- Surf/Foil Hybrid (Included in Pro Package) – Rides like a surfboard and planes quickly. Great for shallow water and the feeling of being lifted while carving on the surface of the water.
- Foil Trainer (Optional as an add on accessory) – About half the length of the full foil mast. As you start to lift and foil, this mast is a great trailer to transition from Surf/Foil Hybrid before going to a full length foil mast.
- Full Foil SUP (Optional as an add on accessory) – Use the motor to catch the waves. Once you lift the foil is unobstructed by the motor for a pure foil riding experience.
- Full Foil (Included in Standard, Sport, Pro Package) – Powered full foil flight for a trilling riding experience.
XFoil’s metal components are made from aircraft grade anodized 6061-T6 aluminum for superior strength, rigidity, corrosion resistance and lightweight.
- Anti-runaway – As soon as the remote falls in the water, the motor stops spinning
- Propeller guard – Included in all XFoil packages
- Instant engine shutdown – Press the down arrow button or power button on the remote and the motor immediately stops spinning.
- If the board exceeds a preset angle from horizontal position in roll/pitch direction, the motor automatically stops spinning.
- Motor controller has an overheat protection to automatically reduce motor power.
- Electronic components have built-in over current devices to automatically deactivate circuits in the unlikely event of any circuit malfunction.
- Battery has built-in battery management system (BMS) to protect the battery from overcharge, overcurrent, and short circuit.
- Self-rescue mode – In the unlikely event that the remote is lost, damaged, or unable to operate for any reason, XFoil has a self-rescue function to activate the motor so that you can safely return back to shore.

About Us
XFoil was founded by Paul Lowchareonkul, serial entrepreneur and CEO of PLX Devices Inc. a technology company based in Silicon Valley, California. Since 2003, Paul has designed, patented, introduced many award winning innovations in the automotive, clean energy and consumer electronics industries.
Since the age of 10 Paul has spent much of his leisure time in the water windsurfing, kite surfing, and exploring some of the world’s best destinations for water sports.
The wind is not the most reliable source of energy and often times frustration with the weather conditions leads disappointing sessions.
His love for engineering and passion for water sports has led him to create XFoil, the world’s first electric watercraft that be configured to glide on the surface of the water and fly above the water regardless of the weather conditions putting the power of control in your hands.
XFoil is a product of www.plxdevices.com headquartered in Silicon Valley, CA located next to Tesla, Google, and Apple. Since 2003 PLX Devices is focused on “bringing the future” of technology.
