Are You New to Foiling? What to Know — Wake Foil, Pump Foil, E-Foil

Foiling has officially taken over the lakes and coastlines — and if you’re new to the sport, you’re in the right place. Whether you’ve seen riders floating effortlessly behind a boat, cruising across glass-smooth water without a rope, or gliding silently on battery-powered boards, foiling delivers one of the smoothest, most addictive water experiences out there.

At Pull Pro Shop in Cumming, Georgia, we help riders of all levels get started with wake foiling, pump foiling, and e-foiling — whether you’re brand new to watersports or transitioning from wakeboarding, surfing, kiteboarding, or SUP.

Here’s your guide to what foiling is, how each style works, and how to choose the right setup.


🌊 First — What Is a Hydrofoil?

A hydrofoil is a wing beneath your board that lifts you above the surface as you gain speed. Instead of riding on the water like a wakeboard or surfboard, you ride above it — which means:

✔ Less drag
✔ Smoother riding
✔ Silent carving
✔ Unreal glide

It feels like surfing on air.


🛥 Wake Foil — The Best Way to Start Foiling

What Is Wake Foiling?

Wake foiling uses the wake behind a boat or jet ski to generate lift. Because the foil creates its own glide, you don’t need a steep wake — just consistent pull and smooth water.

Why People Love It

Wake foiling is incredibly forgiving and versatile. You can:

• Ride at slower speeds
• Let go of the rope
• Surf small wakes
• Ride farther back than typical wakesurfing

This makes it a favorite for families and beginners around Lake Lanier and North Georgia.

Who It’s Perfect For

• Beginners
• Wakeboarders & wakesurfers
• Anyone wanting a low-impact ride


⚡ Pump Foil — Glide Without a Boat

What Is Pump Foiling?

Pump foiling uses a larger front wing to generate lift from your own body motion. Once you’re up, you can glide long distances — no boat required.

Riders launch from:

• Docks
• Piers
• Tow-ins
• Gentle downhill waves

Why People Love It

Pump foiling is the closest thing to flying on water. The better your rhythm, the farther you glide.

Who It’s Perfect For

• Athletes
• Surfers / Foilers
• Riders who want full independence

Pump foiling has grown rapidly in Georgia lake communities, and we’re seeing more riders take advantage of quiet coves and flat mornings.


🔋 E-Foil — The Future of Watersports

What Is an E-Foil?

An e-foil is a battery-powered board with a motor built into the mast. You control speed with a wireless handheld throttle — no boat, tow rope, or wind required.

Why People Love It

• Ride anywhere
• Whisper-quiet
• Beginner-friendly
• Pure freedom

It’s the smoothest, most effortless foiling experience — and yes, people of almost any age can learn.

🧠 How to Choose the Right Foil Setup

When picking a foil, you’ll want to consider:

✔ Wing Size

Bigger wings = more lift & stability (great for beginners)

✔ Mast Height

Shorter = easier learning
Longer = better carving & performance

✔ Board Size

Larger = stability
Smaller = agility

Boat? Dock? Motorized? Surf? All the above?
