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

The Erie Canal – An Extraordinary Waterway

By Mark Stevens

As I shift our chartered canal boat into neutral, I’m soothed by the soundtrack of bird calls, the occasional plaintive horn of a distant train and the hum of our engine.

I reach for the VHF to radio the lockmaster in charge of Erie Canal’s Lock 32 dead ahead. Our boat spins gently in the current like a maple key in a mud puddle.

“This is Onondaga,” I say. “Headed westbound and requesting passage.”
