Outdoor escapades are all about adventuring amongst nature, but these experiences can be even wilder with access to the right tech to dial up the excitement

ADVENTURE TECH

WATER

Whether it’s the sea or the river, these aquatic activities are worth diving into

EFOILING

You need waves to surf and wind to wing, but to operate independently of the elements, try eFoiling. Battery powered and controlled by a handheld device, these relatively easy to operate boards lift out of the water on a hydrofoil and skim along just above the surface, as though you’re hover surfing. Learn on a Flitescooter (with handlebars) and progress to a Fliteboard once you find your feet.

TRY: FLITEBOARD

Available in fibreglass or carbon fibre, with a battery life of up to 2½ hours, the Fliteboard can be jet or propeller powered, and supports riders weighing up to 120kg.

From £9,995, fliteboard.com

FREEDIVING

Explore the underwater world without carting heavy tanks around or disturbing marine life by blowing bubbles. Freedivers learn to stay submerged for several minutes on a single breath, and can do multiple dives without worrying about the bends. Mastering the techniques involved in apnea requires some training and it should never be done alone, but freediving opens a door to a new world.

TRY: SUUNTO VERTICAL

Available in either titanium and stainless steel, the new Vertical adventure watch from Suunto is rated waterproof to a depth of 100 metres (10 ATMs) and has 95+ different sport modes.

£545–£725, suunto.com
