The first thrust forward is quiet—just a whirr from the electric motor and the surface of Oslo Fjord falling away beneath a lifting foil. Riders lean into the handlebars as the board rises, and for a few seconds the city slips behind you while islands and red-tiled boathouses drift into view. The sensation is close to flying: controlled, immediate, and brush-stroked with the salt-cold air off the water.
