New Toys: The Hydroflyer Sport

Hydrofoiler Sport

May 8, 2025

A cross between a hover-board, and a jet-ski, the Hydroflyer is the most advanced electric hydro-foiling board ever created.  And it’s Canadian; designed and built in BC!

The Hydroflyer is 100% electric, that means it requires no fuel, creates no fumes or pollution, recharges rapidly in any standard AC power outlet, and requires barely any maintenance. It operates with a wifi controller attached to the handlebars to control the speed. The controller feeds the signal to the onboard computer, which in turn signals the lithium battery to power on the virtually silent motor. Once the rider reaches a speed of around 4-5 knots, the power of lift and thrust begin to work their magic, and the Hydroflyer starts to lift out of the water.

Gone is the signature V-nose of the Cruiser model, but what it loses in water-piercing capability, it more than makes up for with an ultra-light swing weight and an unobstructed view of the water beneath you. The result? A ride that’s nimbler, more responsive, and built for riders who crave an aggressive, action-packed experience.

Paired with a smaller foil, it makes for a more aggressive ride. Glide, carve, and push your limits whether you’re getting your tips out though a turn, charging across a wave or jumping off them on your way back out, the Hydroflyer Sport is built to handle it. 

The battery is a 2.45 KWH lithium-ion battery that will give you anywhere from 1.5- 3 hours of run time, depending on how hard you like to push it. With a full carbon fibre frame to an overbuilt upper mast and handlebars, this board is made for thrill-seekers who never hold back

By Andy Adams

There is no shortage of fun and exciting new boat designs hitting the market, but for the last few years these have been mainly outboard-powered day boats. Some are day cruisers; some are centre console fishing boats or designed for tow sports. A new live-aboard cabin boat has become a rare item these days.

So when I heard that Pride Marine in Orillia, Ontario, had a Nimbus 365 Coupe in the water, I jumped at the chance to get out on it.

Tahiti—Updates from Paradise

By Zuzana Prochaska

I’ve been to Tahiti seven times—six on charter and once as crew for a couple of yachties. Over the 25 years that I’ve been visiting, it’s changed dramatically. Yet, inexplicably, it has also stayed the same.

Lounging on the flybridge of our Sunsail 454, I had time to think about this dichotomy as I toasted the nighttime skies of Bora Bora and specifically the Southern Cross, a constellation that never fails to hypnotize. As the Crosby, Stills & Nash (1982) tune reminds us:

…you understand now why you came this way.
