Designed as an attachment for boards, the 'GoFoil' works by being installed on the bottom of a board and allowing riders to float above the surface of the water when a wave is caught. The momentum created from waves is harnessed by the 'GoFoil' to propel [stand up paddle board](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/esup) riders up above the water to mimic the [feeling of hovering or flying](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/naowheel). The 'GoFoil' is available now for purchase and can transform a traditionally calm pastime into a more extreme, thrilling experience for riders of all kinds. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.2/10 - Popularity: 73% | Activity: 74% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Floating Water Attachments:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create new attachments for water sports equipment that allow users to float above the water's surface. - **Extreme Water Experiences:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop new products or services that enhance traditional water sports activities to provide a more thrilling and exhilarating experience. - **Hovering Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the application of hovering technology across various industries to create unique and exciting experiences for consumers. ### Who This Affects Most - **Water Sports Equipment:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate innovative technologies into water sports equipment to enhance performance and create new experiences. - **Adventure Tourism:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop immersive water-based experiences that cater to adventure-seeking tourists looking for unique and exciting activities. - **Recreational Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Combine technology and recreational activities to create novel products and services that provide thrilling experiences for consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Scooter-Style Pump Foil Boards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foil-scoot.md) - [Handlebar-Toting Hydrofoil Boards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hydrofoil-board.md) - [Sleek Electric Hydrofoil Surfboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/awake-vinga.md) - [Surfing-Friendly eFoil Boards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lift-foils-liftx.md) - [Affordable Inflatable Hydrofoil Boards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fliteboard-flite-air.md) - [Electric Performance Surfboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-hydrofoil-board.md) - [Inflatable Hydrofoil Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lift-blowfish.md) - [Easy-to-Ride Hydrofoil Boards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/awake-vinga-3.md) - [All-Electric Hydrofoil Surfboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seadoo-rise.md)
