Foil Forward:
Propelling Pensacola Into the Foiling Future
Foil Forward isn’t just a catchy name, it’s our mission statement. At the core, we are a champion of hydrofoiling technology, working to usher in a new era by:
- Educating the Public: Through engaging media, stories, and informative content, Foil Forward strives to increase understanding and acceptance of foiling technology.
- Project Development: We talk the talk, and walk the walk. Foil Forward designs projects that showcase the viability of foiling across a range of industries and consumer applications. This could involve anything from catalyzing the design a hydrofoil ferry to a new type of radio controlled foiling sailboat.
- Building a Community: Foil Forward is a bridge, connecting early adopters of foiling technology with those curious to learn more. This fosters a collaborative environment that can accelerate innovation and growth in the foiling space.
Based in the U.S., in Pensacola, Florida, Foil Forward works to bring industry, manufacturing, commercial and consumer adoption to the level seen in Europe and elsewhere in the world.
At Foil Forward we believe foiling is not only the tool that allows marine niche sport vehicles to fly, but it is THE vehicle that allows marine mobility to achieve unprecendented efficiency and sustainability.
