A hydrofoil consists of a wing that is attached underneath the board. When the board reaches a certain speed, the hydrofoil generates lift, which lifts the board out of the water. This reduces water resistance and allows the athlete to glide smoothly

Wing Foiling uses a hand-held wing for propulsion, while prone foiling uses smaller boards with a hydrofoil and utilizes the energy of a wave for acceleration. Kitefoiling and windsurf foiling involve the use of kites and sails respectively to use the wind for propulsion, while downwind foiling uses the momentum of wind and waves to gain speed. Wake foiling and pump foiling refer to foiling behind a boat or creating lift by pumping on the water, while SUP foiling combines stand-up paddleboarding with a hydrofoil to glide over the water in smaller waves.
