Introducing the updated design to the Valo Founders Edition. A fully electric, computer stabilized hydrofoil watercraft, and the beginning of a revolution in water transportation. #hydrofoil#zeroemissions
Valo's active control system takes foiling to the next level. Unlike traditional foils that rely on the rider's balance, our flying computer automatically stabilizes the craft, making it easier and smoother to ride-even for beginners
