The new era of Hydrofoiling: The electric foil assist
In recent years, water sports have undergone a revolution with the introduction of foil motors, devices that provide electric assistance to facilitate takeoff and navigation. For both beginners and advanced riders, these systems open up a world of possibilities, from exploring new spots to extending sessions on the water.
At B3 Proshop, we have chosen to recommend the Manta Foils TakeOff Flow as our top recommendation, and we now have the support of CAI Foil, which will provide specialized technical advice. This collaboration ensures that our customers not only get the best product but also expert support to guarantee an unparalleled experience.
What Are Foil Motors?
Foil motors are electric systems designed to be mounted on foil boards. They include a motor, a battery, and a remote control, working together to provide additional thrust. This type of technology has multiple benefits:
- Facilitates learning: Ideal for beginners as it reduces the learning curve by enabling easier takeoff.
- Exploration: Allows you to travel long distances and discover new spots without relying on perfect conditions.
- Assistance in challenging conditions: Perfect for days with light wind or calm waters.
- Maximizes time on the water: Reduces physical fatigue, offering longer and more enjoyable sessions.

Después de analizar las diferentes marcas del mercado, opté por Manta Foil. Su expericencia en el mundo de efoil es una grantia en la tecnología que desarrollan. Las ventajas más importantes que me han gustado han sido su autonomìa, la pontencia del motor, su servicio post venta y su precio. Sesiones de surf foil de una hora y cuarto cogiendo olas sin parar, en lugares donde otros no acceden, merecen la pena esta inversión
Me decanté por Manta por su amplia experiencia en el mundo de E foil y porque después de probarlo en un test me impresionó su potencia y autonomía. El servicio postventa muy bueno y están continuamente innovando con mejoras y accesorios.
Después de haber comparado con otras marcas esta era la mejor opción sin lugar a dudas. La autonomía y el precio es lo que me decidió a comprar el Manta Takeoff assistant.
