Hydrofoils are the fastest water-based vehicles propelled solely by human power. They can reach speeds of up to 34 km/h (21 mph; 18 kn), [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] easily exceeding the world records set by competitive rowing which stand at about 20 km/h (12 mph; 11 kn).
A hydrofoil is a lifting surface, or foil, that operates in water. They are similar in appearance and purpose to aerofoils used by aeroplanes.
