Frequently asked questions:

General

Fliteboard is an electric powered hydrofoil, also known as an eFoil. Standing on the board, riders use a handheld Flite Controller to manage their speed. With a mast that is partially underwater, Fliteboarding gives you the feeling of freedom as you glide silently just above the water. Learn more about what a Fliteboard is here.

liteboard is easy to learn. Even with no previous board sports experience, most people can learn in less than one hour. Lessons are available at your nearest Fliteschool or you can teach yourself using this tutorial.

Regulations vary from State to State and Country to Country. It is the responsibility of riders to be aware of and comply with regulations in their specific location. We do not recommend Fliteboard to be used by children under 16 years of age, subject to local laws and regulations. We also recommend adult supervision.

Fliteboard has been extensively tested with riders weighing up to 120 kg / 265 lbs. Heavier, experienced riders may be able to use Fliteboard, however our factory specified limit for warranty is 120 kg with the Flite Propeller and 100 kg / 220 lbs with the Flite Jet on Fliteboard and AIR. Our factory specified limit for warranty is 100kg / 220 lbs for PRO and ULTRA / L with the Flite Propeller or Flite Jet. Flite AIR and Flite AIR PRO weight limit is 100kg/ 2220lbs. Flite x Marc Newson weight limit is 120kg / 265lbs. Product Information

Please check your local regulations for age and legal requirements. Licence regulations vary from state to state and country to country. For example, in Australia, Fliteboard is exempt from registration in some states, and in others it must be registered as a vessel. It is the responsibility of riders to be aware of and comply with regulations in their specific location.

The complete Fliteboard package weighs between 18kg - 34kg depending upon the board, Flitecell and wing choice. Fliteboard ULTRA L 2 is the lightest performance eFoil in the market at just 18.3kg including wing and Flitecell Nano. All weights and dimensions for each board, mast and Flitecell can be found in the User Guide.

Yes, with the right technique. We find the easiest method is to rest the mast on your shoulder with your back to the board. We also suggest removing the Flitecell when carrying to reduce the weight.

Along with being the most awarded eFoil on the market, Fliteboard spares no expense when crafting our eFoil.

Riding

It’s easy to learn how to Fliteboard, with most people able to get up in under an hour. We recommend taking a lesson at one of our global Fliteschools. Alternatively you can learn more by watching our video tutorial on How to Fliteboard.

Fliteschool locations can be found on our website.

Fliteboard can achieve speeds up to 50km/h / 30 mph. Top speed depends on a number of variables including weight, wing choice, propulsion system and rider ability. It's best to review our Ride Time Calculator for the most accurate data.

We strongly recommend that you wear appropriate safety gear when Fliteboarding, including an approved PFD / Impact Vest and Helmet. When going out alone, notify people of your location and intended time of return. You may choose to ride with your cellphone in a waterproof pouch in the event of an emergency. If going a long distance, ensure you have a support boat to accompany you.

Like other water and snow sports, expect to crash and have a few thrills and spills, especially when learning. Like other water and snow sports, learning to Fliteboard can be an extreme activity. You need to be travelling at around 20km/h to be able to hydrofoil, and there is potential to hit the board, wing or eFoil in a crash. Part of the learning experience involves learning to fall away from the board to avoid injury. We recommend wearing a PFD / Impact Vest and a helmet. For a step by step guide to Fliteboard, review this blog.

Our Bluetooth Flite Controller has the battery charge % displayed on the screen and gives warnings at 50%, 10% and low battery, so you can make it back to land before running out of power. You'll hear a beep, vibration and get a message. We suggest not riding out further than you are willing to swim back.

While Fliteboard can be ridden in a wave or ocean swell (just like a SUP or surf foil) Fliteboard is not suitable for riding breaking waves in the surf zone or for jumping off waves. Riders do so at their own risk.

Fliteboard is much lighter than other powered craft, however it is heavier than a surfboard or SUP Foil. Therefore, it can be more dangerous to riders or other water users if caught in a wave. Fliteboard should never be ridden in the breaking surf zone, near other water users (including swimmers and surfers) or offshore from swimmers and surfers (in case Fliteboard is pushed towards shore in a wave).

The propulsion system is the difference between an eFoil vs hydrofoil. Through the use of electric power, you can experience a quiet yet thrilling ride on an eFoil. The electric motor gives you the power to fly through the air above a flat lake or river without the effort of pumping, like you do on a hydrofoil. While a hydrofoil relies on wind and waves, eFoils give you the freedom to ride anywhere, anytime. eFoiling has a much easier learning curve than hydrofoiling or surfing.

Many people have compared Fliteboarding to snowboarding in soft powder. It's similar to surfing and skateboarding but requires more front foot pressure.

Boards

The epoxy construction boards, Fliteboard, PRO and ULTRA /L /2 and Flite x Marc Newson can be repaired by your local surfboard repair specialist. The inflatable construction Fliteboard AIR, Flite AIR and Fliteboard AIR XL may be repaired using the included repair kit. Fliteboard Limited 2 year Warranty covers damage caused by defects in the materials or workmanship of the product only. All sales, technical support and warranty calls may be logged here.

There are 9 different models on offer.

Fliteboard – 5'8'' x 100L is the best size for most riders who are willing to take a few sessions to really get the hang of it. Available in Carbon Fibre, Fibreglass and Soft Top.

Fliteboard PRO – 5'0'' x 67L is a smaller board for a more responsive ride. It isn't as easy to learn on, particularly for heavy riders. Well suited to those with boardsports experience or lighter weight riders. Available in Carbon Fibre, Fibreglass and Soft Top.

Flite AIR – 5’8” x 120L Buoyant and durable. The fun one. Perfect for sharing with friends and family, launching from boats and bringing on trips. More affordable, without compromise.

Flite AIR PRO – 5’2” x 80L Nimble and fun. More responsive for heightened agility and sharper maneuvers. For those who take fun seriously.

Flitescooter – 7‘0“ x 237L Now everyone can fly. Removable handlebars for balance and stability make it easy for novices to feel the freedom of flying over water. Fliteboard AIR XL bladder is an optional extra for Flitescooter for a more maneuverable ride.

Fliteboard ULTRA / L – 4'2" x 57L is an adrenaline machine. At just 4 foot 2 inches, the reduced swing weight lets you push eFoiling limits. Best for experienced riders. Available in Carbon Fibre only.

Fliteboard ULTRA L 2 – 4'4" x 49L Ultimate performance board. Features the smallest diameter propulsion system (⌀46mm) for reduced drag and max thrust. The lightest eFoil with new, narrow board shape supporting improved wave riding and manoeuvrability. Available in Carbon Fibre only.

Flite x Marc Newson (Limited edition)

MN86 – 5’4” 86L Pushing the boundaries of design, innovation and performance.

The largest board in the MN range makes riding easier for heavier riders and novices.

MN60 – 4‘6” 60L A technological work of art. This shorter board makes for sharper turns but less overall stability.

MN60 Wave – 4‘6” x 60L Pure design. Pure performance. The low drag eFoil and shorter board are configured for unpowered wave riding.

Fliteboard, PRO and ULTRA / L / L2 are made from our signature composite of carbon fibre and bulletproof grade Italian Carbon Innegra. This material provides superior strength for its weight. Boards are lighter to carry but can still withstand frequent use, wear and tear.

Flite x Marc Newson has been created with a flowing monobloc form with mast, fuselage and tail seamlessly connected for the most streamlined design. Inspired by the aerospace and high performance automotive industries, we used Japanese high modulus pre-preg (HMPP) carbon fibre to create the lightest, stiffest and strongest eFoil ever imagined.

Fliteboard and PRO are also available in fibreglass and Soft Top construction. You'll still get the performance and durability that Fliteboard is known for. Soft Top boards are constructed from fibreglass with a thick EVA foam top layer for comfort, grip, safety and durability with no added weight.

Flite AIR combines a solid riding platform with an inflatable drop stitch construction outer bladder that reduces production cost and improves durability, all without a noticeable weight increase.

Flitescooter has a removable inflatable PVC coated drop stitch bladder, carbon fibre core and fibreglass lid. This allows for constant use and enjoyment. Considered design makes it easy to roll up, transport and store. Fliteboard AIR XL bladder is an optional extra for Flitescooter for a more maneuverable ride.

You can carry the board by holding one handle and the mast. The board can either be in front of you or behind you. Alternatively, you can crouch down beside the board and place the mast on the top of your shoulder. Engaging your core, lift your setup as if you are coming out of a squat. The board will be resting on your back and you can have both hands on the mast.

If carrying the complete board and battery is too heavy, we suggest carrying them separately and connecting the battery close to where you’ll enter the water. Just be sure to avoid putting your Flitecell battery on the sand. Carry it down and place it straight into your board.

Fliteboard and PRO are available in 'Carbon' and 'Carbon Classic'. Both are made from the same premium carbon fibre and innegra construction for ultimate strength to weight ratio. 'Carbon Classic' refers to the board's classic, iconic shape. 'Carbon' boards showcase a new shape, deck grips, handles and finishes.

Yes, you can convert your Flitescooter using the Fliteboard XL AIR inflatable bladder and ride it without the handlebar. Flitescooter handlebars require the Flitescooter Inflatable and Flitescooter eFoil set up with Safety Key, Flite Jet and Cruiser 1800 wing set. For safety reasons, using Flitescooter handlebars is not compatible with Fliteboard AIR XL Inflatable or any other eFoil set up.

Conical Wings are only compatible with C eFoils, available in carbon and aluminium. In order to use a conical wing with a S2 (or later) board, you will need to purchase a new C eFoil together with our conical wing. C eFoils are compatible with all boards from S2 onwards.

Flitecell

The main difference between Flitecell Explore, Sport and Nano is the foiling time. You can find out more information on our Flitecell page and in the Ride Calculator.

Yes, except for ULTRA L2, Flite AIR and AIR PRO which are not compatible with Flitecell Explore.

We have two chargers available for purchase. Both plug into a standard household wall socket.

Flitecell is the best portable marine battery range available. Ride duration is dependent on a number of variables like weight, speed, competency of the rider as well as wing and propulsion system. The most accurate indication of battery charge duration is found on our Ride Calculator. A general indication of charge duration is provided below.

Flitecell Explore offers maximum foil time, in excess of 2 hours. The slower you ride, the longer your battery will last. If you ride constantly at high speed, or have multiple touchdowns/restarts, it’s possible to deplete the battery in under 1 hour.

The Flitecell Sport will last approx 1 hour 10 mins at an average foiling speed of 25 km/h.

Flitecell Nano will provide a foil time up to 45mins.

The Flite Controller display shows the remaining Flitecell power as voltage, remaining time and range (based upon your power consumption). An efficiency screen on the controller displays watt hours per kilometre, to guide you to speed up or slow down to maximise your ride time and range.

In addition, the specially configured Battery Management System will reduce the power available when the Flitecell is close to running out. This gives you enough power to motor slowly back to shore, but not enough power to foil. For safety reasons, you should never ride further from shore than you are prepared to swim.

The maximum possible distance can vary in excess of 40km / 25miles and depends on your wing choice, battery choice, conditions, rider experience and weight. Checkout the Ride Time Calculator for a precise indication based on individual setups.

There are two chargers to choose from.

Flitecell Fast Charger is 25 Amp. It charges Flitecell Explore in less than 2 hours, Flitecell Sport in less than 1.5 hours and Flitecell Nano in less than 50min.

Flitecell Slow Charger is 6 Amp. This charger is more compact and draws a lower current, making it more suitable for some boats and generators. It will charge Flitecell Explore in less than 9 hours, Flitecell Sport in less than 6 hours and Flitecell Nano in less than 3.5 hours.

Both chargers can plug into a standard wall socket.

To extend the life of your Flitecell and enjoy optimal ride time follow these instructions on our Support Portal.

Unfortunately electric vehicle batteries are not permitted on passenger aircraft. Depending on the route, it may be possible to ship the Flitecell separately on a dedicated cargo plane, via road or sea transport. We have a network of Flitecell Rental locations around the world where you can hire a Flitecell from.

Wings

AdvancedHydrodynamicists have designed Fliteboard’s eFoil wings specifically for electric hydrofoiling. With numerous eFoil wings and five stabilisers, there are many combinations to choose from for any level of performance. If you’re new to Fliteboarding, start with the Cruiser 1100 or the Cruiser Jet 1500. Advance from there.

Cruiser Range

The Cruiser range is all about stability. Larger wings allow for earlier foiling at slower speeds. Advanced riders can take advantage of the extra glide to ride swell without the use of the motor.

Cruiser 1100

Our most popular all-purpose wing. Every new Fliteboarder should have one. Takes off early and offers an impressive speed range and efficiency.

Cruiser 1800

Our largest, most stable wing is used at Fliteschools around the world. Suits beginners, heavier riders and those wanting a more docile ride. Early takeoff and slow to medium cruising.

Cruiser Jet Range

The Cruiser Jet range has been optimised for maximum stability and efficiency with Flite Jet. Larger wings allow for earlier foiling at slower speeds. Advanced riders can use extra glide for riding swell.

Cruiser Jet 1500

Great for longer distance adventures or teaching others, thanks to its stability and efficiency. Best for Flite Jet, but also has great efficiency for riding waves.

Cruiser Jet 1800

Our largest, most stable Flite Jet wing. Suits heavier riders and those wanting a more docile ride. Early takeoff and slow to medium cruising. Also offers exceptional glide for riding swell.

Speed range

These eFoil wings come to life at higher speeds. Perfect for controlled carving - just like snowboarding, without the frostbite.

Flyer 800

A popular eFoil wing that offers high speeds and more responsiveness. The go-to wing for intermediate and advanced riders looking to carve hard and push top speeds.

Race 700

The name says it all. If you love fast carving and top speed, this 50km/h / 30mph eFoil wing is for you. Performs best in Pro Mode with the prop guard removed.

Flow range

These high aspect eFoil wings are loose and manoeuvrable. Ride waves, or ride rivers like a wave.

Flow 900

Fastest surf eFoil wing for bigger waves and high speeds. Carve hard in flat water with a loose and responsive feel.

Flow 1100

The most versatile Flow wing. Large enough for wave glides and high turns at slow speeds. Small enough to push fast.

Flow 1300

The ultimate eFoil wing for power-off wave gliding with our True Glide prop. Flow 1300 takes off early and just glides. Despite its large 1 metre span size, it's agile and responsive.

Flow S range

The Flow S range is the lower aspect version of the Flow range, with increased roll rate for a crazy loose ride but with safer wing tips (at the expense of glide).

Flow S 900

A wild wing that is the loosest of them all. For the most responsive ride possible at medium to fast speeds.

Flow S 1100

A super snappy eFoil wing that allows slow speed Fliteboarding, and provides the ability to push hard.

Flow S 1300

This eFoil wing lets you catch waves, ride slow and throw your Fliteboard around in wild turns. Works well with Flite Jet for riding swell.

Conical Wings 

For speed and smoothness, the hydrodynamic and lightweight titanium nose cone is flush mounted to HMPP carbon fibre wings. Inspired by motorsport aerodynamics, this range signifies the next evolution of performance and durability.

Note: All Flite LAB wings being developed for prone foiling will be compatible with the conical interface. They will not be available in the standard interface.

Cruiser Jet 1500C

Stable with a long glide. Great for longer distance adventures or teaching others, thanks to its stability and efficiency Best for Flite Jet; but riders can also take advantage of its glide for riding waves.

MN 1300C

The perfect all rounder. Sitting between the Cruiser Jet 1500C and Flow S 1300C this wing is great for nimble turns and fast gliding. Never leave this all-rounder at home.

Flow S 1300C

For riding smaller waves. Flow S 1300C lets you catch waves, ride slow and make wide turns. Like a skateboard with loose trucks.

Flow 1100C

For waves and more. The most versatile Flow wing. Large enough for wave glides and big turns at slow speeds. Small enough to push fast.

Flow 900C

For big waves and fast riding. Flow 900C is the fastest surf eFoiling wing for bigger waves and high speeds. Carve hard in flat water with a loose and responsive feel.

Wave 1000C

The wave all-rounder. An advanced wing with efficiency and agility for wave riding. Made to ride fast and turn well, this surfing wing was designed with the MN Wave eFoil in mind.

Wave 850C

The faster wave all-rounder. A smaller advanced surfing wing for lighter riders. Well suited to the MN Wave eFoil, giving you extra speed and agility for wave riding.

Stabilisers

Every wing set comes with a rear stabiliser to fine tune your riding experience. Choose from Flite 290, Cruiser Jet 300, Flow 245, Race 200 and Flite 500. Conical wing stabilisers are available in Flow 245C and cruiser jet 300C.

Flite 290

All purpose stabiliser that comes standard with every Fliteboard. The 290 stabiliser works well with any Fliteboard front wing.

Flite 500

Our most stable, largest stabiliser. Built for beginners and heavier weight riders. Designed to pair with Cruiser 1800, can also work with the Cruiser 1100 wing for increased pitch stability.

Flow 245 / Flow 245C

A looser stabiliser that allows good glide for wave riding.

Designed to be paired with the Flow wing range.

Race 200

Designed to give you a locked in feeling for high speed riding and carving. Pair with the Race and Flyer wings.

Cruiser Jet 300 / Cruiser Jet 300C

Designed for maximum efficiency with Flite Jet. A larger surface area provides more lift and control.

Since the MN launch, we have launched Flite LAB / Flite AMP. All Flite LAB wings being developed for prone foiling will be compatible with the conical interface. They will not be available in the standard interface.

No, the conical wing range is only compatible with C eFoils. The other wings are all compatible with the following exceptions:

The Cruiser 1800 must not be fitted to a Series 1 eFoil that does not have the reinforced webbing at the front of the fuselage. This can be confirmed by checking the serial number of the eFoil as it contains the information.

The Cruiser 1800 wing must not be used on a 75cm eFoil.

Conical wings have been developed for speed and smoothness. The hydrodynamic and lightweight titanium nose cone is flush mounted to HMPP carbon fibre wings. Inspired by motorsport aerodynamics, this range signifies the next evolution of performance and durability. Compatible with all "C eFoils", for example, Performance Dual Drive C eFoil, MN Carbon Wave C eFoil, MN Carbon Dual Drive C eFoil and future FLITELab* masts.

Conical wings can be used with all boards after S2 if they are fitted with a C eFoil.

Learn more about Fliteboard eFoil wings here.

Conical wings are only compatible with C eFoils. All other Fliteboard wings are compatible and interchangeable with any Fliteboard, however the Cruiser 1800 and Cruiser Jet 1800 are for Series 2 and 3 Fuselages only. We do not recommend putting performance wings on the AIR.

Fliteboard wings are built in a high pressure, pre-preg carbon fibre construction which makes them stronger and lighter for stiffness and strength.

No, the C eFoils have had a minor change to the stabiliser hole separation from 29mm to 30mm, which aligns with industry standard. For the best experience we recommend using the correct stabilisers supplied.

No, the Flite 500 stabiliser requires its own set of shims (which are supplied together with the stabiliser wing when purchased). The conical wings also have their own stabilisers and shims.

Fliteboard wings are carbon composite epoxy construction and can be repaired by your local surfboard repair specialist.

Sometimes foil wings can make a humming noise at certain speeds. This can be easily fixed by a process called 'tuning' which involves lightly sandpapering the trailing edge of the wing.

Follow the instructions in this video to tune your wing and get rid of the noise.

Yes but there will be a large step behind the aft of the wing which will result in induced drag.

eFoil

We offer 5 masts of varying length/construction that are best suited to different boards and rider preferences.

Dual Drive eFoil 60cm / 24" mast: Best suited to Flitescooter. Aircraft grade aluminium construction. This is our most user friendly mast. In the event of a fall, riders are less likely to land on the wing, and when the rider falls it will be from a lower height above the water and therefore have a reduced impact.

Dual Drive eFoil 75cm / 29" mast. Aircraft grade aluminium construction. Suits Fliteboard, PRO, AIR and ULTRA / L . Our most popular mast length suits the widest range of users for all round performance from carving to cruising. Longer masts provide a benefit when riding in choppy conditions since there is more range of height to fly above the chop. The board can also be carved harder and tighter in the turns because the mast allows for a lower angle before the board touches the water.

Performance Dual Drive C eFoil: 80cm / 31.5"" mast. Aircraft grade aluminium construction. Best suited to the PRO, ULTRA / L. Designed for more advanced riders, it's the preferred choice when tackling bigger waves. It allows for riding higher over choppy water and even more extreme lean angles in turns and carving. Compatible with conical wing range and FliteLAB* wings.

Marc Newson Carbon Wave C eFoil: 82cm / 32" mast with 46mm fuselage diameter. Stiff and light carbon construction. Best suited to the ULTRA L 2 for ultimate performance. Compatible with conical wing range and FliteLAB* wings. Not compatible with prop guard or a Jet.

Marc Newson Carbon Dual Drive C eFoil: 82cm / 32" mast with 62mm fuselage diameter. Stiff and light carbon construction. Best suited to the ULTRA L 2 for ultimate performance. Compatible with conical wing range and FliteLAB* wings. Not compatible with prop guard.

The C eFoils are lightweight, featuring a premium carbon construction for strength and stiffness. They include Performance Dual Drive C eFoil, MN Carbon Wave C eFoil, MN Carbon Dual Drive C eFoil. These eFoils and the FLITELab* masts are compatible with Conical Wings.

The C eFoils are compatible with all boards from S2 onwards, except Flitescooter which must only use the 60cm / 24" eFoil.

Propulsion

Unique to Flite, Dual Drive is an innovative propulsion system that allows the user to quickly change from Flite Jet to Flite Propeller or True Glide Prop. No tools required. More details here.

Flite Jet is the world's smallest eFoil jet, featuring a fully shielded impeller. It offers the safest, smoothest Fliteboard experience. More details here.

Flite Jet offers the safest and smoothest rides possible on an eFoil. Superior engineering by expert hydrodynamicists has created the world’s smallest, lowest drag eFoil jet.

Flite Propeller is our most versatile option offering a great mix of efficiency, thrust and safety (when using the Prop Guard that comes standard). 

Riders will enjoy the efficiency of this system that uses our unique reduction gearbox and propeller design. Together, they provide long rides and allow the use of smaller and lighter batteries. Beginners will enjoy peace of mind knowing that the propeller is protected from most types of impacts.

Heavier riders will benefit from maximum thrust provided by our reduction gearbox that quadruples the torque of the motor to get heavier riders up and foiling quickly with minimum battery power.

Flite Propeller works perfectly with Virtual Gears to help riders learn quickly, and maintain constant speed with Cruise Control.

True Glide is a free spinning propeller, designed for minimum drag when catching waves and riding swell. Using only the power of the ocean, you can release the trigger to glide. The transition between powered and unpowered is unbelievably smooth. Power back out after your wave to catch the next set. This is the best choice for experienced riders looking for max range to weight ratio.

Folding Prop

Flite Folding Prop is the ultimate choice for surfing enthusiasts. The intelligent design automatically streamlines, folding back when you release the Flite Controller throttle to reduce drag and ensure maximum glide efficiency. The folding blades are designed specifically for advanced riders who love to harness the power of the ocean or the wake of a boat.

It is easy to switch between your regular propeller and Flite Folding Prop, enabling you to tailor your choice based on water conditions and the ride experience you want.

For more info read this article.

For the occasional wave rider we recommend the True Glide prop. If you are primarily using your Fliteboard to catch waves we recommend Flite Folding Prop. Learn more about propulsion here.

No tools are required to change from jet to prop, however tools are required to remove the prop guard (if applicable). Prop guard removal tools are supplied to customers when purchasing the Pro Tail cover, which is essential if using a propeller without the Prop Guard.

If you purchase a Jet and Prop, you will receive an eFoil case that has space for both propulsion systems.

Folding Prop is compatible with all Fliteboards with a Prop system. It’s best paired with a Pro Tail Cover. It is best suited to the performance boards: ULTRA / L / L2, PRO and Flite x Marc Newson.

Flite Folding Prop is not compatible with Flite Jet as it uses an impeller rather than a propeller. The Dual Drive system allows you to easily and quickly swap between Flite Jet and Flite Propulsion module where you can add the Flite Folding Prop.

While the True Glide Prop minimises drag by freely spinning when not powered, the Folding Prop simply folds into a streamlined position when unpowered. It does so by pivoting at the root of each blade, allowing the flow of water to push it closed. As soon as power is engaged, centrifugal force and thrust open and hold the blades into position.

Flite Folding Prop is easy to install. You can find the easy instructions here.

Like all Flite components Folding Prop should be rinsed with fresh water after every use.

Folding Prop is machined from aircraft grade aluminium.

No, the intelligent design of Folding Prop means that it transforms automatically and mechanically. There is no need to select a specific mode to use Folding Prop on your Fliteboard.

Remove the propeller using the 13mm socket in the accessories pouch then remove the prop pin. Loosen the 2 grub screws with the 2mm Allen key. Remove the end cap ring nut. Remove the prop guard. Tighten the Module without the prop guard installed. Reinstall prop guard, ring nut, tighten grubs screws and reinstall propeller with pin. Note: do not swap the jet and prop whilst the prop guard is attached.

Is Flite AIR and AIR PRO sold with a repair kit for the inflatable?

Flite AIR and AIR PRO do not come with bags. The Travel Bags can be purchased separately Here.

Our inflatable product range has evolved. We now offer Flite AIR and AIR PRO, Flitescooter and Fliteboard AIR XL Inflatable, to convert your Flitescooter into an inflatable board that rides without a handlebar.

Flitescooter

Yes, the handlebars add an extra point of stability, making it very easy to learn in minutes (even with no previous board sports experience). Read this blog to find out why Flitescooter is so easy to ride.

Yes, simply detach the mast and viola, you have a Fliteboard. You can also purchase a Fliteboard AIR XL Inflatable to make it smaller and more agile.

Flitescooter should only be used with the Cruiser 1800 wing and 500 stabiliser. If you convert Flitescooter to a Fliteboard using the AIR XL bladder, then you may use all Flite wings, with the exception of our range of Performance wings which only attach to a conical interface eFoil.

Flitescooter should only be used with the 60cm eFoil mast and Cruiser 1800 wing. It is compatible with all Flitecells.

It attaches to your wrist so that in the event of a fall, the Flitescooter will immediately cut power to the motor.

No, the optional Fliteboard AIR XL bladder is to replace the Flitescooter bladder for those who want to convert Flitescooter to a Fliteboard without handlebars. Fliteboard AIR XL has a shorter nose and reduced volume for increased manoeuvrability.

ULTRA L2

ULTRA L2 blurs the line between eFoil and surf foil. Impossibly light, slimmer and more hydrodynamically efficient, it is perfect for all performance riders.

ULTRA L2 is the culmination of the evolution of the ULTRA Range. It is the lightest weight and highest performance Fliteboard. It features the smallest diameter propulsion system for reduced drag and max thrust.

Flite x Marc Newson

Marc Newson is one of the world's most influential designers. Marc has created some of the most iconic examples of industrial design of the past century. This iconic Australian has created for clients including Louis Vuitton, Ferrari, Montblanc, Hermes and Riva. He has worked across a wide range of disciplines, from furniture, luxury goods and technology to marine, automotive and aviation design. He is the only designer to be represented by Gagosian Gallery. His uniquely reductive approach perfectly matches with the Fliteboard philosophy. We collaborated with him over 3 years to create the limited edition Flite x Marc Newson range which delivers unparalleled craftsmanship and performance.

The ultimate eFoil has been created with a flowing monobloc form with mast, fuselage and tail seamlessly connected for the most streamlined design. Inspired by the aerospace and high performance automotive industries, we used Japanese high modulus pre-preg (HMPP) carbon fibre to create the lightest, stiffest and strongest eFoil ever imagined. The Marc Newson design signature is evident in every curve and contour of these pre-preg carbon fibre boards. A narrower footprint offers better hydrodynamics, allowing for greater lean angles and lower swing weight. Redesigned board rails and a Voronoi pattern deck grip are stunning and functional. It also features a new design Flite Controller.

Newson redesigned the award-winning Flite Controller to feel analogue and organic. MN Flite Controller features a large colour display and an intuitive interface for real-time feedback. Wave mode logs and displays wave data throughout your session.

This premium range comes in 3 configurations

MN86

At 5'4" configured with Dual Drive, MN86 is the largest board in the MN range making riding easy for heavier riders and novices.

MN60

At 4'6" configured with Dual Drive, this shorter board makes for sharper turns but less overall stability.

MN60 Wave

With a revolutionary 46mm motor that is half the size and weight of previous Fliteboard motors, this 4'6" setup is for advanced riders who prioritise flying using the power of swell.
