The Importance of Choosing the Right eFoil Size
When it comes to electric hydrofoil boards, size and power determine your entire riding experience.
A larger board provides greater stability and buoyancy, ideal for beginners or relaxed cruising.
A smaller board, meanwhile, offers higher responsiveness and speed, perfect for experienced riders who crave performance and tight control.
Choosing the right combination of board dimensions and motor power ensures that every ride feels natural, safe, and exhilarating.
1. Understanding eFoil Size and Volume
The board size influences how easily you can balance, lift, and maneuver the eFoil.
-
Length (cm): affects stability and planing surface
-
Width (cm): affects balance and turning control
-
Volume (liters): affects buoyancy and weight capacity

2. Choosing Motor Power and Battery Performance
An eFoil’s motor wattage directly affects acceleration, lift speed, and top speed.
VelaraX eFoils feature a 3000W high-efficiency BLDC motor, optimized for smooth power delivery and quiet performance.
Here’s how motor power impacts the experience:
-
Higher power (3000W+) → Faster takeoff, greater lift, supports heavier riders
-
Lower power (<2000W) → More efficient but slower acceleration, suited for light users
Both VelaraX models use advanced lithium-ion batteries designed for up to 90 minutes of continuous ride time, depending on rider weight and speed setting.
3. Weight, Skill Level, and Riding Style — The Key Factors
When selecting your eFoil, consider three main aspects:
| Factor | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Rider Weight | Heavier riders benefit from larger boards (210×70) with more lift and balance |
| Skill Level | Beginners → larger boards; advanced riders → smaller, more responsive boards |
| Riding Style | Cruising → 210×70; High-speed carving → 168×70 Pro |
4. Material and Design — Why VelaraX Feels Different
Both VelaraX models are built using full carbon-fiber construction, combining strength, lightness, and hydrodynamic efficiency.
This premium material not only improves performance but also ensures the board responds instantly to subtle weight shifts — essential for a true flying experience.
Each VelaraX eFoil is also aerodynamically balanced, with precisely tuned wing shapes that enhance lift and minimize drag, ensuring you glide effortlessly across the surface.
5. Which One Is Right for You?
