Prone foiling is a captivating discipline that allows riders to conquer the waves and wind over long distances, using only the natural power of the ocean. Without a sail or kite, riders surf the swells by harnessing the tailwinds, linking bumps seamlessly while maintaining a smooth, continuous speed for miles.

What is Prone Foiling?

Prone downwind foiling is the evolution of traditional downwind riding, with the added element of a foil. In this discipline, riders glide above the water using a high-performance foil, which eliminates water drag and provides an almost infinite glide. Unlike traditional paddling, the foil captures the energy of even the smallest swells, allowing riders to fly from bump to bump effortlessly.

Why is Prone Foiling Gaining Popularity?

- A unique sense of freedom: Once airborne, the connection with the ocean becomes pure and seamless, offering a truly exhilarating experience.
- Energy-efficient riding: Prone foiling significantly reduces fatigue, letting you enjoy the glide for much longer compared to traditional paddling.
- More accessible than ever: With innovative foils, prone foiling is now easier to learn and master.
- Endless exploration: With the right gear, riders can cover long distances, even with moderate winds and small swells.

Choosing the Right Gear for Prone Foiling

Selecting the right equipment is key for an optimal experience. A good prone foil, like those designed by GoFoil, should offer:

- Maximum lift for easy takeoff, even in light conditions.
- Smooth glide to connect bumps effortlessly and maintain momentum.
- Optimized design for stability and control over long distances.

Prone downwind boards are typically longer and narrower, which facilitates paddling and the initial takeoff before lifting into flight.
