What is Prone Foiling?Updated 2 months ago
Prone Foiling, sometimes referred to as Surf Foiling, involves paddling into waves like a traditional surfer on a smaller, more compact foil board, then taking-off and riding the wave "flying" on a hydrofoil, with less resistance compared to traditional surfboards. The ride on a hydrofoil requires less wave energy, so smaller and less perfect waves become the perfect playground for Prone Foilers and poor surfing days can become epic sessions when Prone Foiling. Prone Foiling boards like the DUOTONE Crush SLS resemble traditional surfboards but are specifically designed for Prone Foiling. Additionally to paddling into waves, there are technical aids such as electric Foil Assist or Tow-In, which provide extra drive to help you get onto the foil, making the entry to Prone Foiling easier.
