World-first hydrofoil board uses flight computer for on-water stability
Level Hydrofoils has introduced the Level Board, an electric hydrofoil board aimed at beginners. The board uses aerospace-grade sensors and a flight computer to remain stable across the water, offering a gentle learning curve for newcomers. The sensors collect data on the orientation of the board and make necessary corrections to keep it on an even plane. The Level Board also features hands-free navigation and a virtual safety leash. It will be available in two variants and is expected to hit the market in 2022. The final price is yet to be determined, but it is estimated to be around $12,000.

Level Foils, un ordinateur de vole sur un e-foil !
Level Hydrofoils has introduced the Level Board, an electric foil that uses a flight computer for stability on water. The board is designed for beginners and offers a smooth learning experience using aerospace-quality sensors and a flight computer to stay stable on the water. The Level Board is equipped with aerospace-quality sensors that constantly collect data on the boards orientation and detect any deviation from level flight. This data is analyzed by a flight computer and transmitted to the transmission and rudder to make necessary corrections to maintain the board on a regular plane. The Level Board is the first hydrofoil board to offer this functionality. It will be available in two sizes and is expected to be released to the public in 2022 at a price of approximately $12,000.
