Setup time is not a trivial spec. It is the thing that decides whether you ride on a Tuesday evening or talk yourself out of it. Anyone coming from a tow sport knows the maths: trailer, launch, fuel, driver, spotter, and an hour gone before anyone is in the water. So the fair question about an eFoil is how much of your session gets spent getting ready.
1 minute and 22 seconds, timed
This one is filmed in full rather than described. Carrying the board down to the end of the dock, installing the battery, and getting everything ready to ride comes to 1 minute and 22 seconds from start to finish. There is no cut and no fast forward hiding a step you would have to do yourself.
Why that number matters more than it looks
Under 90 seconds means the sport fits into gaps in a normal day. A clear hour at lunchtime becomes a real session rather than a logistics exercise. It also means there is no penalty for a short ride: if conditions look good for twenty minutes, you can take twenty minutes. That is as true if you have been riding for years as it is if you are new to it, and it is a large part of why an eFoil ends up getting used far more often than the equipment it replaces.
