What is the best efoil? Fliteboard or Liftfoils? Which efoil to pick?
This question comes up again and again! And today we are going to
answer it once and for all! We are doing an honest and unbiased Side
By Side Comparison of a brand new Lift Foils E3 4.2 Pro board vs brand
new Fliteboard Ultra efoil! In this long and in-depth video we are
going through every detail trying to help you make an educated
decision on which board to pick!

Full disclosure - I am NOT affiliated with any brands and it's up to
you which board to pick. I got LiftFoils for myself but it does not
mean that I prefer it over Fliteboard Ultra. My goal is to test all
efoils and jetboards on the market and stay independent and unbiased
as possible.

P.S. It was extremely difficult to arrange this video and you might
notice in my voice I was very sick when recording it, but I could not
cancel or postpone it so we had to make it done on that day! I had to
actually wake up at 4-30 AM and drive 200km each way to reach Pedro
and his location. Apologies for my weak voice and hit "like" for
effort.

I’ve clocked more than 250 hours on a hydrofoil, and all of it on our lake in upstate NY. I had yet to try an efoil. I was worried that if I tried an efoil I might never want to get back on my classic foil. We had to face this fear, so tried each of the leading efoil manufacturers. We wanted to share my first efoil experience and compare it to the sport we know and love.

Safety Warning: Efoils can be dangerous. Please be safe. We’d encourage you to thoroughly review the safety material before using an efoil, and if you don’t feel safe, please do not proceed. Please proceed at your own risk. Wake Thief, LLC.

Disclosure: Flite loaned us an efoil for nearly a month. Adirondack Efoils loaned us an efoil for one week. Both were kind enough to do this, so we could experience efoiling on our lake and create a video showcasing our experience. Wake Thief, LLC.

The Lift3 efoil boards feature an updated shape for increased maneuverability and ease of use. Combined with the upgraded construction, the new sizes, reduced weight and increased strength make the Lift3 boards the lightest and strongest eFoil option on the market. In this video, we compare the brand new Lift3 to the previous Lift2 model.

If you want to experience an efoil wherever you are in the world, go to www.LIFTFoils.com and find a Lift affiliate near you for an experience you won't forget.

eFoiling is a community, it’s constantly amazing to us how many riders help each other learn, meet up for rides, and help share the stoke across the world. 42 eFoilers travelled across Germany to join our partners eFoilution and Hydrofil.de for this years group ride, looks like an incredible day for all involved.

In today's video I unbox my new Lift3 electric hydrofoil surfboard also known as an efoil.

Available Here -
www.LiftFoils.com

I have been debating ordering an efoil for a couple years now and finally decided to pull the trigger. This Lift3 electric hydrofoil is the third generations of efoil made by Lift and is quite the machine!

Battery runtime is up to two hours for lighter/smaller riders and around 90 minutes for larger/heavier riders. It is powered by a large electric rechargeable battery that is rated for 300 cycles. Is has a Bluetooth enabled remote control which you use for the throttle as well as viewing the remaining battery life.

Max speed varies depending on several factors including rider weight, board size, hydrofoil wing size(s) wind and so on.

Well everyone, I hope you enjoyed today's video on unboxing my new Lift3 electric hydrofoil surfboard also known as an eFoil. There are many brands that make electric hydrofoils out there but I know Lift is one of the higher rated brands.

If you have any questions, please leave them in the comments section below (I respond to all comments) and feel free to give this video a thumbs up and subscribe for more future eFoil videos as well as my usual How To videos! :-)

This video is about (foiling) foil surfing waves on the South Shore of Maui with an electric foil board. Nick Nettleship is filmed with a drone during a summer south swell while riding his Lift efoil.

Smooth gliding on the production Lift eFoil in downtown Miami.

Lift Foils founder Nick Leason breaks down our new LIFT3F eFoil in a full length video, showcasing the new lowest price addition to the Lift eFoil lineup.

We just received a brand new 4'2" LIFT3 efoil from LIFT FOILS and we are unboxing it on camera so you can see what to expect when ordering a new efoil! This is an exciting time, and your life is about to get a lot better but first, it's important to set up your efoil properly. We walk you through the simple steps to get ready for your first water experience.

In this video I am testing one of the best efoils on the market, the new Liftfoils E3 Pro 4.2 Electric Hydrofoil Lift 3.
LIFT3 is the 3rd generation eFoil from Lift Foils, original brand that created the first efoil on the market.
This is an ultimate In-depth review including all the features, pros and cons, the new lineup, new wings, new Folding Prop Tests and much more!
Fly over water! No wind? No waves? No problem. The new folding prop is a complete game changer that opens new possibilities of riding swells unpowered!

My pro setup:
Lift3 4.2 pro size, 32 inch long mast,
200 Surf V2 Wing, a new folding prop, 48 surf v2 stabilizer wing and a new high aspect ratio 200 wing as well!

The new 200 Surf V2 Wing is a “bread and butter” of efoiling... Foiling isn’t about going fast or slow; it’s about the balance under your feet and the glide. This wing is the true magic carpet that does it all while feeling amazing.

LIFT3 – what’s new?

The new 2021 Lift Foils eFoils allow all riders to experience the thrill of flying over the water, with best-in-class specs across all categories
The LIFT3 and LIFT3 Elite are the company’s newest personal water vehicles, available in four completely new board sizes, providing the world’s most sophisticated adventure, and using the finest materials and state-of-the-art technology. Fly over water!
The 2021 lineup offers a customizable experience with 9 advanced hydrofoil wing options to pair with the Lift boards
The new eFoils are the lightest, most durable, longest-lasting, fastest, and most customizable on the market, setting a new standard for personal water sports

The LIFT3 boards are made from a new proprietary carbon fiber blend engineered specifically for eFoil performance. They also feature enhanced carbon masts and upgraded carbon fiber electronic boxes. Lift Foils has always offered most durable eFoils, but the new carbon fiber build makes the LIFT3 even 50% stronger.

eFoil e3 – new board sizes

The LIFT3 boards come in four new sizes: 4’2 Pro (127 cm), 4’9 Sport (145 cm), 5’4 Cruiser (163 cm), 5’9 Explorer (175 cm). These boards feature an updated shape for increased aerodynamics and maneuverability. Combined with the upgraded construction, the new sizes reduce the weight by 30% making the LIFT3 boards the lightest eFoil options on the market.

LIFT3 – Dynamic wing options

Lift has also launched nine new wings as part of its 2021 lineup, including three of its acclaimed high aspect wings. Carefully crafted for effectiveness, stability, and performance, the wings attach to the eFoil mast. The shape of the wing changes the eFoil riding experience offering a true balance between efficiency and turning. All wings are interchangeable across the LIFT2 and LIFT3 and work for multiple foil disciplines, including surfing, eFoiling, or sailing, allowing Lift to provide the most customizable eFoil experience. The following table is missing the 9th wing, which is the 60 Surf V2 only designed for big wave surfing and not applicable for the eFoil.

Elite boards option:

Hand Controller (adjustable trigger, GPS, colored display, new app)
Carbon Fiber Prop & Shroud
Premium Bag with Wheels
These boards will also have an enhanced carbon fiber propeller and shroud, featuring a quick-release mechanism that allows for swapping various components in seconds with no hardware needed. The tailored cases that come with the eFoil e3 Elite are lightweight with high-performance removable wheels, all of which can be easily broken down for storage.

5' 4" eFoil Lift 3 board. 96 minutes of battery life for this ride for Dave. My friend is an expert snowboarder and did great learning how to get in the air on this 2021 eFoil Lift 3 board. Lake George, NY in Northwest Bay. The first few clip are every attempt and then there was some time in between without video documentation. Got the board from the dealer, Teddy Arnstein, on Lake George where you can take a lesson before purchasing.

The Lift eFoil is an electric hydrofoil board that literally lets you fly over water. Great for lakes, bays and rivers, it offers a silent and maintenance-free way to enjoy electric watersports. Check out our full article on https://electrek.co and a big thank you to TechWeWant for inviting us out to ride the eFoil. Find them

This video is an attempt to help you decide which size Lift3 Efoil board you should choose. The board sizes are pretty close together so some times it is hard to choose what size to get. We take you through the Carbon and the Fiberglas versions including 4'2", 4'9", 5'4", and 5'9" boards. Things like who will be riding the boards as well as your experience and how you will use the boards go into the decision. Hopefully this video helps you out. if you need additional advice or need help ordering call us at 281-508-6485 or email sales@houstonkiteboarding.com. We can put together custom quotes including any combinations of Efoil parts and pieces. We also have everything in stock and you can pickup or ship the same day you order your new ride.

A new world record for longest eFoil ride has been achieved! Our partners Mentagram / Lift Foils Thailand organized an event where five eFoilers rode for over 8hrs across 120km of open ocean.

The lead solo rider was Khom who rode from start to finish, non-stop, quite the feat for even the most seasoned rider! On the rider team was Joeyboy, one of our Lift Foil's Thailand professional team.

The riders rode from Ocean Marina Yacht Club in Pattaya to Surf Spot Hua Hin. Two of the riders were going individually straight for 8 hours each (solos), and three were on rider team that changed the rider throughout the journey.

Thanks to the event sponsors Redbull, Singha, Siam Discovery, BMW Thailand, The Ministry of Tourism and Sport of Thailand & GoPro.

Fun, easy to ride, and accessible. With our new LIFT3 F, we took a new approach to our industry leading eFoils–creating fiberglass boards to offer stability and durability at a new lower price. This video goes through top features of the new LIFT3 F.
