Fliteboard is an electric powered hydrofoil that gives the sensation of flying over water. Carving effortlessly, Fliteboard gives you the freedom to ride anywhere, without wind or waves. Emission free, wake free and virtually silent, ushering in a new category of environmentally friendly powered watercraft.

Every detail of Fliteboard has been refined for maximum performance, durability, beauty and enjoyment. Fliteboard has been recognised by the global design community, wining prestigious awards around the world including: The Good Design Awards, IDSA, Australia by Design “Innovation of the year”, The German Design Awards and the ‘Best of the Best’ Red Dot Award.

Unlike all other eFoil systems the Fliteboard motor is built into a patented unibody hydrofoil fuselage. This importantly positions the thrust directly behind the front wing, instead of above the fuselage in a separate enclosure. With Fliteboard you can fly quietly above the water between 1— 2 hours, (80kg rider) whereby you can enjoy travelling for over 30kms per charge, or reach speeds up to 50km/h.

Riding a Fliteboard provides that feeling of presence that busy people are often seeking; the feeling of really being in the moment and being part of nature. It’s challenging and gets your heart rate up, but it’s easy to access. We’ve taught hundreds of people in under an hour, from kids to people in their 70s. —David Trewern, Founder & CEO

Flite App

Fliteboard logs and stores around 30 data parameters 5x per second. This data can be made available to Fliteboard or service centres for diagnosis of any issues. The recently launched Flite App for iPhone will allow users to download, visualise and share their ride data, and also provide software updates.

Fliteboard is constantly working on new features and improvements which can then be upgraded to customers boards via the Flite App, just like upgrading your iPhone or Tesla software. Many new features are planned that will be released over the next 12 months. No other eFoil system uses data-logging and software updates via an App.
