PWR-Foil at the Paris 2024 Olympics: A Look Back at 3 Weeks of French-Style Riding in Marseille

How about taking advantage of the long Bastille Day weekend to celebrate what makes us proud?

That tricolour flag flying in the wind, a drive for French innovation, and the freedom to soar above the water...

Last year at the same time, PWR-Foil experienced a milestone moment: an official invitation to take part in the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, at the Marseille venue.
For three weeks, between each Olympic sailing event, our teams were there on-site, making the crowd fly. Literally.

An international scene… and 100% French

One might have imagined a fleeting show, a quick demo. But no.
Every day, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., our eFoils were on the water, introducing this new-generation ride to thousands of visitors from all over the world.
Curious onlookers, athletes, coaches, media, children, families… Everyone had their eyes glued to our machines, built in Perpignan, tested in extreme conditions, and ready to show what they could do.

What few people knew at the time was that the eFoils they saw gliding by… weren’t yet available for sale.
These were the very first prototypes of the REVO range.

• Silent, powerful, responsive, precise.
• Test machines, running non-stop for 3 weeks.
• Incredible pressure… but full-scale validation.

The eFoil as a symbol of French expertise

What stood out for us during those three weeks?
The public’s curiosity, the amazement of the children, the passionate questions from foreign coaches.
But also this collective pride: a French company, with a made-in-France product, showcased at the heart of the world's most-watched sporting event.
Far from the glitz, we did what we do best: riding with passion, speaking with conviction, sharing the emotion.

And today?

The REVO series has become THE reference.
Many riders now use them every day.
And maybe you discovered eFoil that very day… and have been hooked ever since

So, this Bastille Day weekend, we just wanted to say thank you:

• Thank you for being part of this adventure.
• Thank you for riding with us.
• Thank you for believing in a different, respectful, innovative, and proudly French kind of riding
