Our Story
Austin Foil Alliance (AFA) was born with one goal in mind: To share our passion for hydrofoiling.
Hydrofoiling is a unique type of watersport that is based on wings that fly through water instead of planing like traditional skiing. Whether sitting or standing, this sensation of flight is what makes ‘foiling unique and addictive for all ages!
AFA is your gateway to hydrofoiling. Learn to fly, add new tricks, connect with other foilers, shop for gear. It's all here.
