3 Ways to Electrify Your Time on the Water in 2026: Efoils, Foil Assists, and Underwater Scooters

The Future of Watersports is Electric

Whether you're exploring crystal clear reefs or gliding above ocean swells, 2026 is the year to electrify your aquatic adventures. Instead of relying purely on wind or waves, modern electric propulsion gives you the power to ride on your own terms. If you're looking to upgrade your gear this season, here are the top three ways to transform your time on the water.

1. Fly Above the Surface: The Waydoo Efoil

If you've ever dreamed of flying over the water with zero drag and absolute silence, the Waydoo efoil is your ticket to ride. Efoiling (electric hydrofoiling) has exploded in popularity because it doesn't require wind or a boat wake.

• Unmatched Freedom: Carve up flat lakes, cruise coastal intracoastal waterways, or ride small ocean swells without ever paddling.
• Accessible to Everyone: Modern boards like the Waydoo EVO Pro offer incredibly stable platforms that allow absolute beginners to get on foil in less than an hour.
• Why Waydoo? Delivering premium performance at an accessible price point, Waydoo continues to dominate the efoil market with modular batteries, plug-and-play components, and industry-leading reliability.

2. Supercharge Your Surf: The Mantafoil Electric Assist

For dedicated prone surfers, SUP riders, and wing foilers, switching to a heavy efoil isn't always the goal. That's where the Mantafoil electric foil assist comes in. A foil assist is a lightweight, low-drag motor that mounts directly to your existing hydrofoil mast.

• Catch Every Swell: Stop exhausting yourself paddling for waves. The Mantafoil provides a burst of thrust to get you on plane, allowing you to easily drop into unbroken ocean swells.
• Save Marginal Sessions: If the wind dies down while you're winging, a quick burst of power from your foil assist is all it takes to keep you flying.
• Pure Surfing Feel: Once you're flying, the folding propeller drastically reduces drag, allowing you to ride the wave's natural energy without feeling the motor.

3. Explore the Depths: The Subnado Underwater Scooter

Not all the action happens above the surface. If you're a snorkeler, scuba diver, or just love exploring reefs, the Subnado underwater scooter is an absolute game-changer. Moving away from the heavy, bulky sea scooters of the past, the Subnado is the world's most compact and versatile dive propulsion vehicle.

• Hands-Free Exploration: With its unique mounting brackets, you can strap the Subnado to your forearms or legs, leaving your hands entirely free for clearing your mask, taking photos, or holding gear.
• Travel Ready: Weighing just over three pounds, it easily fits into a backpack and features an airline-approved battery, making it the ultimate travel companion.
• Endless Versatility: Not just for divers, you can mount the Subnado to the bottom of a stand-up paddleboard (SUP) to create a motorized cruiser for lazy afternoons.

Which Electric Gear is Right for You?

Your choice depends entirely on your passion. If you want the thrill of motorized flight over flat water, the Waydoo efoil is unbeatable. If you're an existing foiler looking to maximize your wave count and cheat the paddle out, the Mantafoil assist is a must-have. And if you're looking to explore beneath the surface with unprecedented ease, the Subnado will revolutionize your diving.
