Electric hydrofoiling is a sport built around water.
While communities, universities, and exploration networks help people discover the sport, every rider eventually needs the same thing:
A welcoming lake to ride.
To support sustainable growth, Big Orange is establishing the Designated Lake District Business Partner Program — a network of trusted local partners who help anchor riding activities at key lakes.
Why Lake District Partners Matter
Lakes are more than just riding locations.
They are where riders:
• learn their first balance
• meet other members
• explore new routes
• share sunset sessions
• build lasting friendships
By working with trusted local businesses around major lakes, Big Orange can ensure riders always have a reliable base of operations.
Who Can Become a Lake District Partner
We welcome businesses located near major lakes that share a passion for outdoor recreation and community building.
Typical partners may include:
• marinas
• waterfront restaurants
• lakeside cafés
• outdoor recreation outfitters
• small hotels or lodges
• boat rental operators
• lakeside parks with concessions
These partners already serve the lake community and help make the area welcoming for visitors.
What Lake District Partners Do
Designated partners help support the local riding ecosystem by:
• providing a friendly meeting point for riders
• supporting club gatherings or ride meetups
• helping riders discover the lake area
• collaborating on exploration events or demo days
• sharing information about Big Orange activities
Each partner becomes a local gateway to the Big Orange network.
Partner Benefits
Designated Lake District Business Partners may receive:
• official listing on the Big Orange Lake Network Map
• visibility on the Big Orange website and social media
• participation in exploration rides and club events
• co-hosted community demo events
• opportunities to collaborate on local promotions
Partners become part of a growing outdoor recreation ecosystem.
Connecting the Big Orange Network
The Designated Lake District Partner program helps connect all other Big Orange initiatives.
Each lake district becomes a hub that supports:
Together, these programs create a structure where:
universities bring new riders →
communities introduce families →
exploration maps new waters →
lake districts provide the place where everything happens.
A Network of Lakes
The long-term vision is to establish a regional network of trusted lake districts where riders can confidently explore new waters.
Each district offers:
• safe riding environments
• welcoming local partners
• opportunities for community events
• access to exploration routes
Over time, these lake districts could form one of the most unique electric watersports networks in the country.
Join the Program
If your business is located near a lake and shares a passion for outdoor recreation, Big Orange welcomes the opportunity to collaborate.
Together we can create places where riders gather, communities connect, and new adventures begin.
Because every great watersport community begins with one simple thing:
A lake where people love to ride. 🍊
If your lake feels like a place where people would love to ride, we’d love to hear from you.
