Still from the official Fliteboard video: two eFoil riders on the water

Flite eFoil

High-end Australian eFoils for every skill level

Last updated:

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, yet charges around 10% less than Lift.

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 speed record holder, 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.

The fifth generation (successor to the 2021 Fliteboard / Pro / Air) is still available from the manufacturer at a steep closeout discount.

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

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

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
  • 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 Air

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
  • 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
  • Color: White
  • Price: around €11,000 at the time

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 category's speed record holder (RACE) and its 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 discounted Series 5 closeout models and the used market 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.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a Fliteboard cost in 2026?

On the manufacturer's US price list, the Series 6 base models ICON and PRO start at $10,999 (around €10,000) and the inflatable Flite AIR at $8,799 (around €8,000). Top configurations of the ULTRA and RACE start at about €13,500. The final figure depends heavily on your build: board version, Flitecell battery, and wing choice together set the total.

What's the difference between the ICON, PRO, and ULTRA?

The ICON, at 100 liters, is the all-arounder for every skill level. The PRO measures 67 liters and feels noticeably more agile and sporty. The ULTRA L3 is the lightest board in the range at 49 liters, a competition machine for carving waves that assumes advanced skills. The rule of thumb: the smaller the board, the more maneuverable it gets, but also the harder it is to learn on.

What is a Flitecell?

Flitecell is Flite's swappable battery system, available in three sizes: Nano (806 Wh, roughly 45 minutes), Sport (1.6 kWh, about 1.5 hours), and Explore (2.1 kWh, up to 2.5 hours). Every board works with every Flitecell, so flight time and price mostly come down to which battery you pick.

Can you still buy the previous generation?

Yes. Flite sells off the fifth generation (Series 5) at steep closeout discounts while supplies last ($8,499 to $10,699). The 2021 generation of Fliteboard, Pro, and Air is no longer available new, but it appears regularly on the used market.

Which Fliteboard is best for beginners?

The easiest path is the Flitescooter: its handlebar has almost anyone up and flying within minutes. Among the boards, the inflatable Flite AIR forgives the most mistakes, and among the rigid models it's the high-volume ICON. The smaller PRO, ULTRA, and RACE belong in experienced hands.
