Francis Suarez, a make-up artist with a love for the water, recently shared her experience with the HydroBlade, a cutting-edge watercraft designed for both novices and enthusiasts. Describing the HydroBlade experience in one word, Francis chose "fun," a testament to the engaging nature of this innovative device.

"My advice for anyone’s first time on it would be: take it slow," Francis said. Initially, she found herself stiff and overly serious, but as she started to relax and flow with the HydroBlade, the fun truly began. Her background in swimming helped her feel comfortable in the water, though she noted that controlling the device was a separate challenge.

Francis drew comparisons between the HydroBlade and eFoil, highlighting the flexibility and personalization the HydroBlade offers. "I think this is like a do-it-yourself experience, you design your own trip, to say so. An eFoil is more like you have to do it the right way. This is more like you get to choose whatever you want to do." This sentiment underscores the appeal of the HydroBlade for those new to foiling.

"I would love to take the HydroBlade just to ride in a bay or a shore for hours, like a meditation. Just going straight can feel so peaceful."

Emphasizing the versatility of the HydroBlade, Francis shared her vision of using it for a meditative ride. Her words paint a picture of the serene and enjoyable possibilities that the HydroBlade provides.
