The Flite brand
Flite is an eFoil manufacturer from Australia, founded by pro surfer David Trewern. The first boards shipped to customers in late 2018. Like Lift, Flite builds high-end eFoils that are quick to learn on, and its two top boards, the ULTRA and the RACE, cost about 4 to 6% less than Lift's carbon LIFT5.
Since then, the brand has become one of the category's benchmarks. The current lineup is the sixth generation (Series 6), and the original three-board range has grown into a family of seven models, from the all-around ICON to the RACE co-developed with Mercury Racing and the limited-edition series penned by Marc Newson.

Models and prices (Series 6)
The 2026 Series 6 lineup covers seven distinct roles: the ICON is the all-arounder and base model, the PRO the sportier middle ground, the ULTRA L3 the lightest race machine, the RACE the fastest Fliteboard, the inflatable Flite AIR the travel-friendly entry point, the Flitescooter the learner board with a handlebar, and the Marc Newson series the limited design piece at the top.
Keep in mind: at Flite, price and flight time depend mainly on the Flitecell you choose (Nano 806 Wh / Sport 1.6 kWh / Explore 2.1 kWh). Every price is a starting price, and flight times are tied to the battery, not the model.

Inflatable Fliteboard in two versions (AIR ICON 110 l, AIR PRO 80 l): rugged, travel-ready, and a good choice for learning too. Both run on the Flitecell Nano or Sport battery (the larger Explore does not fit), so how long a session lasts depends mostly on which of the two packs you drop in.

Previous generation (no longer sold new)
Series 5 (Fliteboard, AIR, Flitescooter)($8,499-11,699 (maker's last list prices))
The fifth generation (successor to the 2021 Fliteboard / Pro / Air) was replaced by Series 6, and the maker no longer treats it as a current line. Series 5 boards (Fliteboard, Flitescooter S5 and AIR PRO S5) appear from time to time on the used market and, while leftovers last, in the maker's store, and the figures above are what the maker last listed for the remaining bundles, not a price you can count on.
Which Fliteboard is right for you?
Beginners get on the water most easily with the Flitescooter or the inflatable AIR. For most buyers the ICON is the natural choice, advanced riders reach for the PRO, and if waves or racing are on your mind you'll end up on the ULTRA L3 or the RACE.

Archive: the 2021 models
These three boards made up Flite's range in 2021. You can't buy them new anymore, but they keep turning up on the used market, so we've left our original overview in place, unchanged.
Fliteboard
The base model, and the right pick for most riders. Ideal for beginners and intermediates between 50 and 90 kg: big enough for easy handling, yet nimble and simple to transport.
You can pick from four mast lengths: 60 cm (for beginners and shallow water, the easiest and safest way to foil), 70 cm (for beginners), 85 cm (for intermediates), and 90 cm (for experienced riders and deep water). For the wing you choose between the Cruiser (the best choice for beginners and heavier riders, very stable) and the Flyer (for lighter riders, up to 45 km/h, about 28 mph).
- Dimensions: 172 x 71 cm
- Weight: 28-34 kg
- Battery: 40 Ah / 2.1 kWh or 30 Ah / 1.65 kWh
- Flight time: 40-60 minutes
- Charging time: 3 hours (Fast 20A) / 2 hours (Premium 25A)
- Top speed: 34-45 km/h
- Max. rider weight: 100 kg
- Colors: White, black, light brown
- Price: around €11,000 at the time
Fliteboard Pro
The smaller board for experienced athletes. No other Fliteboard turns as tightly or responds as directly.
Masts and wings are the same as on the bigger board: 60 cm (beginners and shallow water, easiest and safest), 70 cm (beginners), 85 cm (intermediates), 90 cm (experienced riders, deep water). Plus the two wings, the Cruiser (stable, good for beginners and heavier riders) and the Flyer (for lighter riders, up to 45 km/h).
- Dimensions: 152 x 62 cm
- Weight: 28-34 kg
- Battery: 40 Ah / 2.1 kWh or 30 Ah / 1.65 kWh
- Flight time: 40-60 minutes

- Top speed: 34-45 km/h

Fliteboard Air
The inflatable eFoil for complete beginners, schools, rental fleets, and families. It's the largest Fliteboard and the model that makes learning to fly easiest. Ruggedly built, easy to store, easy to transport.
The Air comes with a single mast length: 60 cm, the beginner and shallow-water option with the easiest, safest handling. For wings you again pick between the Cruiser (stable, the best choice for beginners and heavier riders) and the Flyer (for lighter riders, up to 45 km/h).
- Dimensions: 198 x 76 cm
- Weight: 28-34 kg
- Battery: 40 Ah / 2.1 kWh or 30 Ah / 1.65 kWh

- Top speed: 34-45 km/h
- Max. rider weight: 100 kg

Flite and the competition
For years the premium market has had two poles: Lift and Flite are the two reference brands everyone else is measured against. Flite's traditional strengths are its broader lineup (from the inflatable AIR to the Flitescooter) and slightly friendlier prices, plus the RACE, its quickest board, and the category's most exclusive series (Marc Newson). The safety-focused Aerofoils and the value champion SiFly are attacking that duopoly from different directions.
You'll find every active brand and its current models in one table in our eFoil comparison.
Who is Flite for?
Flite is for riders who want a premium eFoil that will last for many seasons and who value having options: complete beginners (Flitescooter, AIR), everyday cruisers (ICON), and racers (ULTRA, RACE) all find their board here. Thanks to the Flitecell system, the setup can grow with you later (a bigger battery, say, or new wings). If your budget is tighter, the used market and any previous-generation Series 5 boards the maker still lists get you into the Flite world for less.
Flite on lakes and coastal waters
With its quiet electric drive, a Fliteboard is a natural fit for calm inland lakes and sheltered coastal bays: it throws no big wake and won't disturb the peace on shore. The rules for electric watercraft differ by country, and often from lake to lake, so check your local regulations before you ride. And before you buy, get on a board if you can: Flite dealers and eFoil schools around the world run demo sessions, and one hour on the water tells you more than any spec sheet.
