Efoiling at Downwind Deck: The Smoothest Ride in El Cuyo, México

Some days El Cuyo delivers nuclear wind and legendary sessions.

Other days? Glassy water, blue skies, and zero breeze.

That’s where efoiling at Downwind Deck comes in—and honestly, it might become your favorite way to ride. Whether you’re a first-timer, a seasoned kiter, winger or traveling with those who don’t ride (yet), efoiling keeps the stoke alive no matter the forecast.

What Is Efoiling (and Why Everyone’s Obsessed)

Efoiling uses a remote-controlled electric hydrofoil to allow you to glide above the water on foil. Our Waydoo eFoils are known for their reliability, smooth power delivery and beginner-friendly design. They even have lights for night sessions over bioluminescence.

You float silently above the water (on foil), carving turns and cruising effortlessly. It feels like flying… but calm, controlled and ridiculously fun. Most riders are up and riding within 2 hours.

Easy to Learn. Hard to Stop Smiling.

One of the best parts of efoiling at Downwind Deck? How accessible it is.

• No previous board sports required

• Stable boards + intuitive remote control

• Quick coaching gets you flying fast

• Fun for all ages, 8 - 75+ is recommended.

The Ultimate No-Wind Day Weapon & Secret Weapon for Learning Wing & Kite Foiling

If you travel for wind sports, you already know: rest days happen.

Instead of sitting it out, efoiling turns no-wind days into highlight days.

No wind = Flat water = perfect conditions for mastering foil.

Efoiling makes the progression to kite and wing foiling easier.

• Learn foil balance without worrying about the kite or wing

• Dial in stance, weight distribution and turns

• Understand weight distribution for coming on and off foil

• Build muscle memory fast

• Gain confidence above the water

Many riders find that wing foiling and kite foiling click faster after efoiling. You already understand the foil—now add the wing or kite

Three days of nonstop action, My first Mayan Wind Fest did not disappoint.

Sailing, kite, wing, foil, fiestas… somehow they managed to cram everything into one epic weekend, and every minute delivered. From Freestyle, Big Air, Relays and Races, the stoke level stayed high.

Huge shoutout to @ShakaVibesCancun @Maxico25 and the entire team for hosting such a well-organized, fun, and inclusive event. It was inspiring to see riders of all ages and skill levels sharing the same love of wind sports. New friendships were made, limits were pushed and fresh goals were set.

Christmas Kiteboarding in El Cuyo

What a perfect Christmas in El Cuyo, Mexico!  You know you have a good kiting group chat when you initiate a kiteboarding costume theme day with 4 hours of notice... And everyone delivers!  This is no easy ask…If you have been to El Cuyo, you will understand how challenging it can be to throw together a theme costume here.  Very limited supplies.

Ask: Wear Christmas Hats & Red...

Well done @mandajeney and the MiniMarket El Farito for having the perfect hats & t-shirts to pull it all together.  We all look like a bunch of Christmas Elves + Reindeer scurrying across the water.  Hilarious. Smiles were plentiful and the red really makes these photos even better.

Kite season is just getting started and we are looking forward to another amazing 2025/2026 season in El Cuyo Mexico at Downwind Deck. Efoils, Kiteboarding, Kitesurfing, Wing Foiling, Kite Foiling, Paddleboarding…if it’s a water sport we are here to help accommodate. Wind has been a steady 15-20+ knots almost daily.
