The Journey Begins: Flite AIR
Designed with beginners and heavier riders in mind, Flite AIR serves as the perfect introduction to the world of electric hydrofoiling. Boasting a stable and forgiving platform, Flite AIR offers a larger surface area and enhanced buoyancy. When starting out on FLITE AIR, you’ll find the extra buoyancy supports heavier riders and early planing, so it’s easier for beginners to get up and start foiling and give them confidence as they learn the fundamentals.
Flite AIR's generous dimensions and user-friendly design make it an ideal choice for those taking their first steps in hydrofoiling. The wider outline and longer length contribute to a stable ride, allowing riders to easily focus on building core skills such as balance and weight distribution.
Transitioning to Agility: Flite AIR PRO
As riders gain confidence and proficiency on Flite AIR, the natural progression leads to the sleeker and more agile Flite AIR PRO. The AIR PRO is a shorter and lighter iteration, meticulously crafted to cater to riders seeking enhanced manoeuvrability and responsiveness on the water. There is no need to purchase a whole new eFoil setup, simply replace the board as the modular architecture is designed for riders to customise their ride as they desire.
Size Matters: PRO's Compact Design
The most noticeable difference between the AIR and AIR PRO lies in their size and dimensions. The PRO features a more compact and streamlined design and reduced board length. This reduction in size results in a lower overall weight, contributing to the PRO's nimble and agile performance. It’s also better paired with an optional longer mast for increased lean angles.
Weight Reduction and Impact on Manoeuvrability
Flite AIR PRO's reduced weight translates to increased responsiveness and manoeuvrability on the water. Riders will find that the AIR PRO responds promptly to subtle shifts in weight and body positioning, allowing for quicker turns, sharper manoeuvres, and an overall more dynamic hydrofoiling experience.
Board Length & Volume: Striking the Balance
While the Flite AIR PRO's shorter length and volume may seem like a significant departure from the AIR, it's a deliberate choice to enhance the rider's control and precision. The reduced board length and volume means reduced swing weight, resulting in a more responsive and lively feel. This allows experienced riders to carve through the water with precision, making the AIR PRO an ideal choice for those looking to push their Fliteboarding skills to the next level.
Unlocking Your Hydrofoiling Potential
The transition from the Flite AIR to Flite AIR PRO represents a natural progression in a rider's eFoiling journey. By mastering the basics on Flite AIR, riders build a solid foundation of skills, preparing them for the heightened agility and responsiveness offered by Flite AIR PRO.
