The notorious Facebook founder, currently Meta Platforms CEO and co-founder, is a declared fan of water sports, including surfing<\/a>. His favorite surfing spot is in Hawaii<\/a>, where he is also owning a property. But Zuckerberg took his surfing interest to a new level. He uses an electric hydrofoil surfboard, known as the \"eFoil<\/a>,\" which helps him enjoy surfing experiences faster and more smoothly.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The eFoil doesn't need high-quality waves to ride, and its main advantage is that it can offer a great experience even in a calmer wind. His surfing equipment mixes his passion for sports with his tech-innovative side. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
