Details

Feock, in the County of Truro, England, presents a distinctive gateway to the rugged beauty of Cornwall’s southern coastline. Here, E-FOIL CORNWALL offers an adrenaline-fueled chance to surmount waves and glide atop the water with their e-foil rental experiences. This electric hydrofoil board ride lets adventurers slice through the sea with an almost silent hum, capturing the dynamic meeting point of sky, land, and water.

The trips typically start along the shores near Feock, affording riders expansive views of the Cornish coastline marked by granite cliffs and calm inlets. One popular route ventures toward Looe Island, an uninhabited nature reserve famous for its seabird colonies and diverse marine life. Alternatively, the Looe River provides a serene inland waterway lined with swaying reeds and occasional seals, lending a quiet contrast to the ocean’s energy.

Sessions last up to 90 minutes under expert guidance, making the experience accessible even for novices while still thrilling for seasoned riders. The electric motor assists you in lifting above the water’s surface, turning this activity into a hybrid of surfing and gliding. Cornwall’s temperate climate and relatively calm waters in the summer months make this a unique water adventure, setting it apart from traditional coastal activities in the region.

E-FOIL CORNWALL stands out for combining innovative technology with the stark coastal landscape, connecting riders to the environment in an intimate yet exhilarating way. The company’s commitment to safe, eco-friendly outings in an area known for its natural heritage ensures visitors appreciate Cornwall’s coastal ecosystems while carving their own path through wind and water.
