Foil Gulf Coast Foil Boarding Orange Beach Alabama

Paddle & Foil Board Rentals

Gulf Shores & Orange Beach

Stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) and foil boarding have become popular water sports for fun and exercise in Gulf Shores and Orange Beach. The calm inland waters offer a perfect training ground for those new to the sport. For the more adventurous, the Gulf of Mexico provides an even greater challenge, depending on surf conditions. The great news is that you don’t have to choose when visiting the Alabama Gulf Coast. All the best spots are close in proximity and easy to access.

You’re probably familiar with paddleboarding but may have never heard of foil boarding. A foil board is a small surfboard with a hydrofoil (a winged fin) that’s submerged below the water and causes the board to sit a few feet above the surface. Riding a foil board is similar to surfing or skateboarding, and being above the waves gives riders the sensation of flying.
