The eFoil Lake Powell YouTube channel (@eFoilLakePowell), run by Jeremy Byrom, is a decent, straightforward resource in the eFoil world. Especially if you’re into budget-friendly options or dreaming about foiling in those stunning red rock canyons at Lake Powell. I’ve watched a fair number of his shows, and they’re solid: good POV footage, practical tips, and that unique inland desert vibe that sets it apart from the usual ocean-heavy channels. He covers exploration rides through slots like Antelope and Face Canyon, gear breakdowns (heavy on SiFly Stellar X, Waydoo Flyer series, some GetFOIL), maintenance in harsh conditions, and beginner-to-intermediate tutorials. Production is homegrown. Mostly action cam with voiceover explanations. But it’s clear, authentic, and gets the job done without unnecessary flash.
What really stands out is how consistently he captures the magic of Lake Powell itself. The red rock walls, the glassy water in the slots, the way the light hits those canyons during high-water years. It makes for genuinely captivating viewing, even if you’re not shopping for gear. His exploration series, like the runs through Face Canyon or the Castle Rock Cut stuff, feel like mini-adventures. You get the sense of discovery and freedom that eFoiling can deliver in a place most people will never foil. Add in the quirky seasonal touches, like the costume rides for Halloween, and it keeps things light and fun. The channel has a welcoming, no-pretensions energy that’s refreshing in a sport that can sometimes feel gatekept or overly polished. It’s easy to see why it draws steady views from folks planning Powell trips or just wanting to vicariously fly through those slots.
Jeremy and I have swapped notes, stories, and debates about wings, rides, and brands over the years. He was pretty relentless about trying to talk me into testing more affordable eFoils on my channel. For about a year I held off because I was busy and more than happy tearing around on top-tier gear like the Lift 4 Pro, Flite Ultra, and Ultra L2. He kept at it though, and he had this habit of telling me I wrote using “too many words” whenever I sent back a detailed reply. I began to suspect that he might have a reading disability. Eventually the SiFly Stellar X caught my attention enough that I picked one up for the 2025 Integrity Trials review. Now that I’ve put real time on Waydoo and SiFly models, I feel like I can speak with some authority about where the lower-cost boards fall short compared to the high-end ones.
Jeremy’s still out there professing that cheaper boards are “just as good if not better,” which feels more like wishful thinking or guesswork than hard-earned comparison. His devotion to budget rides might tie into real life. He’s got six kids and having raised two of them myself, I can attest to just how expensive, not to mention how much of a time-sink those little buggers are. Frankly, I’m amazed he has any spare budget or time to afford any board much less time to ride, much-much less produce a decent YouTube channel.
In my 50+ years on this planet, people who have way too many kids always boils down to three reasons:
A. Straight-up stupidity and/or ignorance of basic contraception. Even if it turns out he does indeed have a reading disability, I don’t think he’s stupid. In fact, I’d say he seems pretty smart, even though I question his objectivity.
B. Devout religious beliefs. Be fruitful and multiply and all that jazz.
C. Neo pro-natalist. It’s that thing where folks think the world is dangerously underpopulated and needs more of their specific genetics to fill up space.
I don’t know shit about what he believes or his background but if I was on a game show, I’d likely guess he’s mostly B with perhaps a touch of C.
He’s got as much time on deck as I do. Heading into his 6th season. And he’s sent me plenty of clips trying to convince me he shreds just as hard on Waydoo/SiFly as on Flite or Lift. The footage shows wide, pretty slow carves that look like they’re taking every ounce of concentration. Butt cheeks fully clenched to hold it together. Meanwhile, on the Lift 4 Pro or Ultra L2, I’m doing tight, fast zigzags without even thinking about it. He can’t know what he hasn’t tried across the full spectrum yet.
One funny quirk: he often wears costumes on the water. Halloween elf suits, superhero getups, etc., for seasonal fun. He’s a big proponent of PFDs, helmets, and safety gear in general. Unless he’s in costume mode, which is kinda funny, sorta.
He still commonly tells me I use “too many words” when I respond to his correspondence in writing. Playfully at first, I suppose, but it kept coming up, especially whenever we were disagreeing. That annoyed me. Nobody tells me what words I’m allowed to use or how many I’m allowed to use. A decent amount of my livelihood comes from writing, so I’m not down with anyone who isn’t paying me to write telling me what I can write or how many words I can use. Our last interaction was some disagreement (probably another push on Waydoo superiority), and he hit me again with that, “too many words,” line. In that moment, I became annoyed enough that I told my AI assistant to block any correspondence, DMs, emails, or posts he makes until May 1, 2026. On that day, my AI has instructions to summarize whatever he’d written in the interim using no more than two sentences. Yes, the irony of that instruction, tickles me.
Ultimately, he’s a good resource who does his best to put on a friendly, welcoming show. It’s genuinely positive that he’s covering lower-budget boards and sharing Lake Powell-specific adventures. Stuff bigger channels often skip. I do get the sense he might be getting some monetary benefits or free gear from Waydoo (no hard detective work done, just a vibe from him), and that makes me suspect his objectivity. But that’s not unique to him. It’s a blanket rule I apply whenever money or free product changes hands between reviewers and manufacturers.
Scoring (using the system we set up):
- Production Quality: 6/10 — Straightforward, functional POV/action cam; no high-end cinematic polish.
- Educational / Informational Value: 8/10 — Solid practical tips, maintenance, beginner guides, real-world budget gear use.
- Entertainment / Scenic Appeal: 9/10 — Lake Powell’s canyons and sunsets are killer; costumes add quirky fun.
- Community / Helpfulness: 7/10 — Engages in groups, shares freely, but personal interactions can turn prickly and he can be needlessly demanding of what others say, how they say it and how many words thy use when they say it. Though, admittedly, as a Doer/Talker I don’t play well with Controllers.
- Growth / Engagement Metrics: 5/10 — Small but steady (~1K subs, consistent uploads, niche views).
- Uniqueness / Niche Fit: 10/10 — Hyper-local to Lake Powell inland foiling + budget focus = one-of-a-kind.
Total: 45/60 — Very good for its lane; excellent if you’re eyeing affordable setups or Powell trips. Worth a sub for the scenery and tips, just take the brand enthusiasm with a grain of salt. Main channel: https://www.youtube.com/@eFoilLakePowell.
The eFoil Lake Powell YouTube channel (@eFoilLakePowell) currently has 1.01K subscribers (1,010 as of mid-February 2026, recently hitting the 1K milestone around January 2026 based on creator posts). Most popular episode capture an average of ~1,421 views.
As a small niche channel (~271 videos total), view counts are modest (mostly hundreds to low thousands), and YouTube doesn’t publicly rank them prominently without direct access to the “sort by most popular” view. From available metadata, cross-references in searches, and video pages but if you are into efoiling, you should spend some time on his channel. The content is decent.
