Lift Foils eFoil Documentary

- Founded ten years ago in Puerto Rico by father and son team, Nicholas and Michael Leason, Lift is a premium hydrofoil brand dedicated to innovation in both performance and technology. This documentary tells the story of the brand and their flagship eFoil product, in the voice of the team and their collaborators.
Lift was the first to patent eFoil technology. Inspired by advances in lithium battery technology and wireless communication, the eFoil is a mix of surfing, flying, and deep powder snowboarding. A powerful, silent, electric motor, a state-of-the art battery, and high-performance boards, foils, and wings, combine to allow riders of all athletic capacities the opportunity to fly above any body of water, without needing to be propelled by wind or waves.

I thought this board was expensive until I bought one, and then I realized it was some of the best money I'v ever spent! Keep up the great work and amazing innovation!
Thanks for your support! Glad you're enjoying it Cody.
@@LiftFoils Kindly give me the details of where I can buy one
I here ya! My story is 30 years of frequent grumpy times waiting for wind for my windsurfing, and kiting. No more! The word Gamechanger is overused, but in this case it honestly applies. It's made my daily life happy.
I'm not the comment posting kinda guy but just have to... Just received my 5'0 with a 170 wing, Merry Christmas to me!!! Amazing product, incredibly well engineered and beautiful build quality. I did a lot of research before pulling the trigger on Lift, it was definitely the right choice. It was a huge investment but worth every penny. If you want to rationalize it it's the price of a jetski which gets old real quick and ends up being parked. Jetski requires no skill, efoiling is a sport/challenge that make you feel a sense of accomplishment, I'm barely scratching the surface this thing it has huge potential... Thank you Nick and your team for developing an amazing product.
As soon as I saw the Lift on a UA-cam clip nearly 3 years ago I knew had to have one. At the time it was still under R&D & I had to wait 15 months to get my first 5'0" - it was worth the wait. I now have the 4'4" which is next level. With the combo of wings & folding prop it absolutely rips in the waves. You can't put a price on fun - best investment I've ever made. I'm out at least 4-5 times a week frothing like a grom to get at the waves & I'm nearly 63. Thanks Nick & the Lift team it's the fountain of youth :).
We appreciate you AJ!
They put a price on it.. Haha
I'm nearly 62 and just got my 5'0" on the vigorous recommendation of my long-time distance sailing catamaran buddy, Michael Yost, and I love it already. Only got 3 hours on the board yet in the middle of winter but my entire family (GrandDad included) are chomping at the bit to try it. I appreciate the fact I've got a high end dry suit because you WILL spend a lot of time in the water learning but I realize I'm going to have to gain proficiency fast over the winter if I'm going to get any time on the board over the summer.
This is great to hear. I'm 71 with 3 decades of windsurfing and kite foiling. I found myself "horny" for wind much to often on windlass days and now with my new 5' Lift I have my water session grin going everyday
It's been a long way and I am happy to see how fast it is growing around the world!! Wishing another successful year to Nick and his team
Love my 5’0 Sport and ready to purchase 4’4 pro. Thanks, for an amazing product with great support.
What an awesome invention. I hope I will get to own one one day.
Hats off to the developer. You deserve every credit and cent... Roll in it bro!
You've done a beautiful thing here- all power to you mate in this and all the other good thing you do x
Fantastic Doco,,, nice one Lift!
I had the chance to ride a Lift efoil in PCB, FL. with PCB efoil and it was one of the coolest experiences I've ever had. We started out practicing on our bellies for a couple minutes, then on our knees a couple minutes later, and within 10 minutes I was standing up. I love how you can control the power on the remote from 1 to 15. I was able to stand up on just power 4 and even at a slower speed, it was an amazing experience. I can't wait until production and batteries become more streamlined and become cheaper.
Great job guys!! Congratulations.
Great job guys! I admire you invention . Love you.
I can't say enough about this so well put together product across the board...but even more than this the customer service has been crazy amazing! This team collectively knocks it out of the park each time they come up to bat! Way to go Team Lift Foils
amazing physics, fluid dynamics is mindbending
Wepa ! Amazing ! Would love to try this .
These would be amazing flying around our canals around in Amsterdam!
What is the cost if I want to buy in India 🇮🇳
Get you one !!! - take a 5.0 - and get back to us with ur experience !
Really cool of you to address the price and explain it’s worthiness, most companies wouldn’t. I’m a new fan of your awesome!!! Efoil and can’t wait till i can afford it 🙌🏽 love from israel
Need to tell your customers where this vid is so they can share their experiences, cool product, supercool!
I support you all the way. Thank You for making every surfer kids dream come true. AMAZING, hope to have one some day soon.
Same, can't afford it. Bummer
The best board ever!!!
I took my first E-foiling lesson in March on a Lift from Paula at E-Foil Miami and had an absolute blast. I really think the popularity of e-foiling will just explode once there is enough exposure. This seems like the perfect water sport for resorts, which would provide a great opportunity for marketing and exposure. And I can see small businesses (or even franchising opportunities) popping up at resorts (or resort communities) around the world offering lessons followed by sales for those that are hooked (and many will be!). Great job Nick, keep up the great work!
Thanks Chris! Glad you enjoyed.
Very very IMPRESSIVE!!
Very cool product. I think it would probably be fantastic to be on one and moving around a nice lake in the afternoon. Maybe someday. 😀
I love efoile 👍 enjoying it everyday in Dubai
I wish you could have a seller point back in Brazil, excellent product👍
Cool didn't know from Puerto Rico.
Tried efoil in june 23. This is a disruptive game changer. This little personal craft is going to CHANGE everything, believe me! Sensations are out of this world on it. And it's easy! Pat, 15 miles south of the Eiffel tower.
Awesome product
this is amazing
Definitely gonna get one of these
The really marvelous idea made fun.
RESPECT!
I love your product I even try one but it’s too expensive for me! Hope you will make less expensive in the future! I’m kite foil-foil for now
Yo this is amazing!
Just bought my first board. Absolutely amazing. The product couldn't be engineered any better if Elon Musk himself focused on the product. Really. It's in the same class. In fact - I'd much rather have my efoil than a Tesla. Be glad they are not greedy and charging more money for these boards because after you ride one - you will pay any price they ask!
Appreciate it Neil!
I find it life saving ...
If any accident happen in ship
... in mids of water bodies...anyone can use it ...to seek help...Other wise....it's a great innovation
looks great
Very cool product, I hope I can afford one soon. How big is the lithium battery on the Lift?
Amazing skill.....
Great invention!
Ok now off to win the lotto so I can buy a set 🤘🏼
is this available already in Philipppines? I wish i could have one....
For those commenting on price: Expensive is relative. A mid range jet ski costs this much. But, you cannot launch a jet ski anywhere, you will pay launch or buoy fees, and you need a trailer. Efoil as all electric doesn’t dump fuel and exhaust. Oh, and way more fun than jet ski, especially if you are surfer. On lake, the slightest wake becomes a surfable wave!! I live at Lake Tahoe part time and best investment I could have made. I am 30 year surfer, pretty darn good, win local contests, but I have never had my mind blown like this!!
I live in Orocovis. I’d love to try one.
Už vím, co budu dělat v důchodu. Surfování mě vždycky lákalo, ale moře je od nás daleko. Takhle stačí jen zajet na nejbližší přehradu. Vypadá to úžasně lehce a také to tak asi ve skutečnosti bude. Člověk se "vznáší", tak nemusí bojovat s nerovností a kvalitou podložky jako při snowboardingu, který je mojí vášní...
Amazing
Aloha Nick, just got my 5'6" in late March in Austin, TX. Already had a 200 wing so I got a 170 Surf and a 250 surf. I have a 150 classic that lives in Maui for kitefoiling. Love the product, you are so right that it seems expensive right up to the point that you stand up and make a turn! I've got a question, I want to tow someone else with this. What's the setup? What do you use for the tow line and how do you attach it?
This is a good question I’m curious as well about towing ?!
Hey there! There are different options, please e-mail us at info@liftfoils.com for more information.
Hey, I will live in Maui on the west side, I'd love to try your e-foil out I'm thinking about buying one
I got a three-bedroom one-bath house You're more than welcome to stay and I'll trade you if you let me try out your foil
It will be mine! Oh yes! It will be mine! I recently Almost bought a jet ski about a year into the pandemic. I love jet skiing and made some crypto money I was looking to blow. I contacted Yamaha and a local dealership twice without either getting back to me which it seems may have been a blessing in disguise. After doing a lot more research on your product and really assessing what would suit me better personally for a recreation water sport I’m definitely going with a Lift. I’m so stoked I can’t stand it. I’m also an old school surfer so this is super appealing as well. I also like the physical aspect and versatility of deployment the Lift offers in comparison to a loud gas guzzler that I have to trailer.
How long does the battery last? Do they use solar panels to extend the battery?
On the fence about getting one. Just sold my Waverunner and was going to purchase another Stand Up but, I think I'm going to rent one of these first.
Definitely try before you fly. There are also some really great second hand markets on facebook and the dealers will often have used boards as well. Definitely a different experience than a wave runner, no trailer needed, greater access to different spots and of course the ability to surf
How strong is the motor approximately
Imagine once we have crazy solid state batteries that have way longer cycles
Do you deliver to UK?
How much is the range of the board?
If you are a skateboarder but not a surfer, would you be able to balance it? In other words do I need surfer skills to use it or not?
BEAUTIFUL !!!!
Thank you!!
I want this. What's the cost?
This is probably like a Onewheel on the water. Expensive, but worth every penny. It also appears you don't have to be physical, just practice slowly, and before you know it, you're steezing.
whats the song that's played at the 1:34 mark?
Wish I could afford one :(
Bellissimo, ma sarebbe opportuno che applicaste possibilità di traduzione audio in Italiano. GRAZIE!!!
I would love to have one, but in Indiana any motorized watercraft has to be registered as a motor boat. Even kayaks with a trolling motors has to be registered.
You spent 12k on a surf board so $30 for three years of registration is nothing.
What happens if you fall off? Do the engines turn off or will it just fly away
The motor automatically turns off when the controller hits the water.
That’s the same globe I have!
The onewheel of surfboards
just awesome love peace happiness harmony safe healthy loving light journeys to you and all infinitys belove
4:11 " a great fun sport for everyone" I hate to disagree but its not at the current price point, I think you guys have an amazing product and you deserve all the success. I'm sure you have heard it all before and hopefully one day you will figure it out. Don't take this comment as a negative, I will buy an e-foil once I try it out at one of your demo centers at some point but it would be great to see others to experience it without a sacrifice on quality and get the same experience.
Can I always take on the plane and fly with it anywhere in the world?
The battery of the eFoil cannot travel on commercial flights! E-mail us at info@liftfoils.com for more information :)
Great
I’ll have one of these very soon! Rad to see Laird Hamilton on this product. Can’t decide on board size and wing size. If I buy the cruiser I’ll end up with the sport setup.
Hey guy’s thanks for starting your business out of my little island. How can I buy one of your boards?
Thank you! Online at liftfoils.com
Hi amigo .,.
How long does the battery go for? How long is a standard "sesh"?
About 2 hours
What size board does Laird Hamilton ride? I was thinking of getting the pro 4'2" and starting with a bigger wing.
That’s I think the setup I’m going to get. Did you buy yet?
@@vaughnsadventures4069 I got to test drive the 4'2". It was just too small for me to get up on. I literally had to stand on the nose, so. I opted for the 5'6. So far so good. I would definitely test drive the different boards before you buy, otherwise you may regret getting a size too big or too small.
I come from 6 years of kite foiling and I opted for the 5' after trying and failing on the smaller board. I'm happy with my purchase since I really need a size I can comfortably rely on to get me out of tough spots in waves quickly. With the smaller board I initially found that the Bluetooth receiver in the nose would submerge and kill the motor.
This is a legit hoverboard. Pretty sweet!
Why dangerous Bluetooth and not RF?
A transparent board maybe
I can’t surf, can one sit one it, can we add a steering wheel?
My friend bought a surf board when he was high, he lives in montana
Where can we test it? From Switzerland ?
liftfoils.com/dealer-locator/ we have a partner in Geneva
Have had the 4'9" for two weeks now? I love it even with the North Sea temp😂
Wieviel kostet ein Efoil bei ihnen??kann man bei ihnen efoil kaufen?? Haben sie eine Internetseite?? Schöne Grüße aus Köln. Ihr Kanal ist wirklich toll. Lg
IF only i could bring this amazing product to my home town also my local waterskiing lake, local surf comps ,Iv had many dreams of such a board on many occasions observing skiing foils the dream is infront my eyes unfortunately . This dream may not b in my favour honestly thinking of selling my fishing/recitational my prid and joy Alexann for the 20k mark to invest and potentially fly the product the interest would b Astonishing and would proudly fly also provide the CROWDS in exploring the possibilities and enjoyment one could possibly bring.
A great invention , but not the same thing for the price 😔
How many Peso?
Hi, how much do they cost?
$12,000 USD
What's range?tx
up to 90 minutes
I will own one of these before I die & I’m I’m 44 🏄🏻♂️🏄🏄🏿♀️🏄🏻♂️🏄🏄🏿♀️🏄🏻♂️🏄🏄🏿♀️🏄🏻♂️🏄
Hey guys I live in Puerto Rico. How can I try one? This looks awsome!!! Great Job!!!!
Had no idea tech exist going to buy one
Why are your foils costing twice the price of the benchmark (takuma, etc...) ?
We are the benchmark for quality, safety and performance. Cheaper products are cutting significant corners to get on the market, if they even work or exist at all.
Saw three today. They are incredible in heavy waves 3 foot chop, I have video on Instagram now..
Today. , there was a good 35mph wind -plus, and a lot of people out sailing. I was watching these ’ lifts’ . They can go as fast as any wind surfer, and they do circles, they an stop, turn and are incredible, look insanely fun. There were 4 of them here today going back and forth.. what a great idea. They lift up and then flew over the waves, and these guys even held sails as if they were sailing. They were showing off. I’m in USA , Sherman island .
Instagram search ..my video is there efoil..search Sherman island..
I love this. My dream is to get one of these.
how to order it?how much it cost?

Izza flyin' carpet
This looks like AMAZING fun.
My one concern hurting marine and wildlife. They seem to slice through the water pretty fast with no wake. Are they quiet? Has there been any instances animals (like manatees) have gotten hurt?
THANK YOU
Glad he knows and realized the price is too high...
This is almost surreal like I don’t believe that’s real until I see it 🤯😱
Raaad!
Nice but way to expensive. Guess some similar products will come at affordable prices soon.
i know its hand made and quality put into it but COME ON theres gotta be a way to bring the cost much lower for the masses
you get what you pay for. or make your own lmao
It is a great thing, but from customer perspective, too expensive still :) Should cost max 2000 USD. Cheers
Free sample? I promise ill give it back 😉
hydrofoil boats came in 1869 !
