The 'GoFoil' Allows Stand Up Paddle Boards to Float Above Water

— May 27, 2016 — Art & Design
Stand up paddle boards have become a popular pastime for beachgoers and vacationers, so the 'GoFoil' is designed to help up the ante and make the experience more thrilling.

Designed as an attachment for boards, the 'GoFoil' works by being installed on the bottom of a board and allowing riders to float above the surface of the water when a wave is caught. The momentum created from waves is harnessed by the 'GoFoil' to propel stand up paddle board riders up above the water to mimic the feeling of hovering or flying.

The 'GoFoil' is available now for purchase and can transform a traditionally calm pastime into a more extreme, thrilling experience for riders of all kinds.
