Laird wore blue shorts and looked deeply tanned as he had fun on his new gadget.
An electric-powered hydrofoil surfboard is also called a flying surfboard.
The eFoil depends upon a submerged hydrofoil to lift the board out of the water.
These boards have an electric motor in the hydrofoil itself so it's possible to ride the water without any effort.

Going for it: It's like an electric skateboard in a way. Riders control the eFoil electric hydrofoil surfboard by way of a wireless handheld controller, which is connected to the board by Bluetooth
Fast track: Capable of reaching top speeds of up to 25 miles per hour, the eFoil board comes in two sizes: the standard E1 eFoil and the E1 Sport model

'The standard eFoil is more stable with the bigger deck, while the smaller board is more nimble and turns quicker,' Lift Foils founder Nick Leason told New Atlas.
It comes in four colors — carbon black, carbon free, carbon blue, and carbon purple.
The cost is $12,000 and there tends to be a waitlist.
He has good taste: His wife is Gabrielle Reece, a former volleyball player who has posed for the cover of Playboy and Shape; seen in 2011
Hamilton is one of the best surfers to plug the board. He is the co-inventor of tow-in surfing. By the age of 17, Hamilton had become an accomplished surfer. But he turned to modeling and found big success there, often posing for Vogue.
He has a daughter with his first wife, big-wave surfer and clothing designer Maria Souza. His second wife is model and volleyball player Gabrielle Reece. They have two daughters and split their time between California and Hawaii.
Laird was born Laird John Zerfas in San Francisco.
Strong bond: The two wed in 1997; here they are seen in June in Malibu
