THE STORY OF GO FOIL : PIONEERING THE FUTURE OF FOILING
GoFoil was born out of a passion for innovation and the desire to take water sports to new heights. Founded by the legendary foil designer Alex Aguera, GoFoil revolutionized the world of foiling by creating the first truly high-performance foils designed to give riders an unmatched experience on the water.
Since its inception, GoFoil has led the charge in foiling technology, offering products that continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible.
THE BEGINNING : A VISION FOR FOILING
The story of GoFoil begins with a simple vision: to create the best, most efficient foils for all types of water sports. Alex Aguera, known for his work in the windsurfing and kiteboarding industries, had long been fascinated by the concept of foils and their potential to change the way people experience the ocean. After years of testing, experimenting, and refining designs, he created the first GoFoil—the perfect blend of performance, efficiency, and innovation.
REVOLUTIONIZING WATER SPORTS
GoFoil was one of the first brands to introduce foiling to the world of stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), kiteboarding, and eventually wingfoiling. With a focus on performance and durability, GoFoil quickly gained a reputation for making foils that were incredibly efficient, stable, and easy to use, even in challenging conditions. What made GoFoil unique was its ability to offer foils that could perform well across a wide range of conditions, from small swells to big waves, in light winds and strong gusts.
The brand’s commitment to quality, constant innovation, and attention to detail helped GoFoil quickly gain a loyal following among water sports enthusiasts and professional athletes alike. As the sport of foiling grew, so did GoFoil’s reach, becoming one of the most trusted names in the industry.
INNOVATING FOR THE FUTURE
Today, GoFoil continues to push the envelope of foiling technology, designing cutting-edge foils for a variety of water sports, including downwind foiling, wake foiling, and wingfoiling. The company is constantly refining its products, using the latest materials and technology to ensure that riders get the best possible performance from their gear.
GoFoil’s commitment to innovation and quality has made it a leader in the world of foiling, and its products are used by top athletes worldwide. Whether you're a beginner looking for your first foil or a seasoned pro pushing the limits of what's possible on the water, GoFoil offers the perfect equipment to help you achieve your goals.
THE FOUNDERS
ALEX AGUERA
“I have spent most of my life on the water or in the shop trying to win a tenth of a knot.
As foil technology improved, all the old ideas about what it meant to go fast on the water changed – radically.
Since starting Go Foil I’ve seen kiteboard racing completely transformed.
As exciting as Kai’s video is, it’s just the beginning.”
MICHAEL GIBLIN
“Every five years or so hydrofoils seem to surface, then sink back into the depths. They’ve been towed with people belted to chairs, or wearing ski boots and powered by cyclist or jet drives.
Some sports are essential, simple and pure – a distillation of form and function.
This is what is unique about GoFoil. It’s just a foil, a board, and an endless ride.”
