Prone Foil

Prone Foiling is surfing with a hydrofoil attached to a surfboard. You paddle into waves lying down on your stomach, just like traditional surfing. It allows you to surf small or weak waves that regular boards cannot catch.

The foil makes the board very efficient. Once you stand up, the board rises above the water. This eliminates the drag from the surface, making the ride faster and smoother.

A key feature of Prone Foiling is "pumping." After you finish riding a wave, you can pump the board with your legs to generate speed. This allows you to go back out and catch another wave without paddling.

The boards are generally smaller and shorter than normal surfboards. The foil setup is chosen based on the rider's weight and the wave conditions. It is highly maneuverable and responsive.

This sport is excellent for crowded days or bad conditions. You do not need perfect breaking waves. You can have fun on rolling waves or whitewater that traditional surfers ignore.
