Hey there efoil builders! Ever since i have seen videos of the efoil im very interested in riding one my self. I have been following some of the builders. Investing in crowdfunding. And i would like to be starting a rental business in the near future with these efoils and stuff. I have never been foiling but i want to try it. Is there anyone who has one ready and wants to sell it to me for a good price? I live in the netherlands. So someone in europe would be the best option i think. Hope to hear from someone.

We are in Norway. But still have some time with testing prior to a fully functional prototype/product

My plan is to sell mine when I’m finished and then make another one. But I’m not finished and I’m in the USA.

Hey Linzio, if you are starting a rental and learn be sure to find a setup likely with larger front wind for slower and more stable ride, and get a build that has prop or impeller fully enclosed for safety reasons, and can take a beating from renters… You will also want something you can buy more than a one-off build. As you know I’m working towards a commercial grade, extra safe RE prop/impeller/electrical system, and ultra slow and stable.

Are you aware that an efoil will probably cost you 6000€?

Yes i am. I want to start a rental business with the efoils. But i want to try one for myself first. Thats why i hope someone is selling a selfmade efoil. Maybe a bit cheaper that the ones for production.

Did you make the aluminium propeller yourself? Looks more efficient than the 3d printed ones as the blades are thinner.
