An efoil is a motorized surfboard with a hydrofoil that moves through electric propulsion. These devices allow continuous foiling without the need for waves or other conditions.
Which efoil manufacturers are on the market?
Efoils, a cutting-edge innovation in water sports, became available relatively recently, despite the first developments dating back to the 20th century. Their growing popularity has led to the emergence of many brands, though not all have survived competition, leaving some customers without necessary support.
Currently, Fliteboard, also known as FLITE, leads the market among efoil manufacturers. Their products stand out for their high quality and innovative designs, making them particularly popular among water sports enthusiasts. These products are available for purchase in our store.
The market also features notable models from the Swedish company AWAKE: Vinga 3 and Vinga S, known for their design and performance. Although Lift Foils' products are not in our catalog, they are also recognized among sport enthusiasts.
Choosing the right efoil requires careful consideration of the manufacturer's reliability and product quality. We pride ourselves on offering only time-tested brands in our catalog. When you buy from us, you can count on available spare parts and maintenance. Additionally, the devices in our selection feature outstanding characteristics and are made using high-quality materials and the latest technological advancements.
Which efoil should a beginner choose?
We have curated a selection of efoils that are ideal for beginners. Why did we choose these models? They forgive more mistakes than their professional counterparts, which require confident riding skills. These efoils come with large bodies, offering more room for maneuvering, and typically have large wings that significantly increase stability.
1st Place: Flitescooter
Flitescooter is the perfect choice for beginners. Unlike other models in this selection, it comes with a detachable handlebar, making it easy to learn to control on the first try. This feature drastically changes the riding experience, making the control feel more like a motorcycle.
Flitescooter does not offer configuration options, prioritizing safety. This efoil is ideal for those who prefer calm cruising. However, if you're inclined toward more aggressive riding, we recommend considering the next model.

2 место: FLITE AIR
FLITE AIR is the most popular efoil model from Fliteboard and one of the most widespread globally. Its carbon body with an inflatable base explains the "AIR" in its name. The manufacturer offers a wide range of options for customization: various batteries, masts, drive systems, hydrofoils, controllers, and chargers. The board's configuration directly affects its characteristics.
If you have no hydrofoiling experience, we recommend starting with larger wings (with 1500 or 1800 in the name), the standard 75 cm mast, and the Prop & Guard drive system for more aggressive riding, or the FLITE Jet if you prefer a calmer style. This setup will ensure a comfortable learning process, and as you gain skills, you can easily switch wings or drive systems.
FLITE AIR is available for order in our online store. Visit the model's page to learn more: https://watersurf.eu/flite-air.
Please note: Not all configurations are available on the website, as the manufacturer may experience stock shortages of some components, such as slow chargers or 80 cm masts. When placing an order, we will confirm the availability of the parts you need and offer alternative configuration options if necessary.
3 место: AWAKE VINGA 3
AWAKE VINGA 3 is a hydrofoil from AWAKE, ideal for beginner users. Unlike the AWAKE VINGA S model, it has a larger body and slightly lower speed. However, this allows the device to provide longer battery life. AWAKE VINGA 3 is equipped exclusively with a waterjet drive, which is highly energy-efficient and powerful, surpassing FLITE's equivalent. This efoil can offer up to 120 minutes of battery life and speeds up to 50 km/h, making it an excellent choice among similar models.
AWAKE VINGA 3 is available in our online store. For more detailed information, visit the model's page on our website: https://watersurf.eu/vinga-3.
