    P.S. It was extremely difficult to arrange this video and you might
    notice in my voice I was very sick when recording it, but I could not
    cancel or postpone it so we had to make it done on that day! I had to

    =========================
    Summary Lift vs Flite
    Liftfoils E3 4.2
    Disadvantages
    Outdated technology with excessive amount of cables, data pins etc
    (However new Elite controller is coming with more advanced tech)
    Lack of a lightweight sports battery
    Less stability when breaching the motor
    No inflatable option, no lights, no leash, no straps option
    App does not track rides (no gps)
    Fliteboard Ultra
    Advantages
    Advanced technology and simplified design with unified fuselage
    No extra cables, no cooling pipes, no data cables
    Strong aluminium mast, lights, place for straps and leash
    Less weight (especially with Sports battery)
    Higher stability when breaching the motor
    App that tracks rides by GPS
    Inflatable option (Fliteboard air)
    Pro rider setup options with shims
    Disadvantages
    High pitch annoying noise (louder than Lift)
    The mast and wings are too sharp
    The setup is done only for efoil and not interchangeable with other foling boards.
    Both boards similar characteristics:
    Similar riding time, similar charging time
    Same effective mast length. (even though Lift 32 inch mast is longer)
    Similar riding experience (which depends a lot on the wings setup)
    A great range of wings and stabilizer wings
    Outstanding premium support by both Lift and Flite
    A wide network of dealers, schools and service centers
    Trusted by PRO athletes and celebrities

      Mike - I cringe every time I see the hatch on your new Lift efoil cranked open past 90-degrees, Keep doing that and the hinges will bend up so the hatch seal won't be fully compressed when closed and you'll will get water inside your hatch.

    I recently rode a Lift efoil and it was a dream! To my understanding, Lift owns the technology behind the efoil boards and many companies are currently in lawsuits with the Lift company over pirated technology. I cant speak for Flite efoil, but if you ever have to call Lift customer service, you are getting superior service since you are actually calling the same building where the creators work. They are very attentive and responsive. Now lets all hope the manufacturing process become more mainstream so we can all afford these amazing machines!

    Excellent video. I have a Lift E3 4.9 with the 32 inch mast and folding prop. I agree with all your points. It is a great board and very well made. I agree the Fliteboard has a much simpler design when it comes to the battery connection and cooling system. I like the tougher design of the Lift board but not a fan of the controller. My choice between the two was based upon the location of purchase and access to service/parts. Lift was easier for me in both cases. Also - I didn't want to send my eFoil to an authorized service center for it's yearly maintenance check up. Lift doesn't require that type of maintenance action. I use my foil everyday and didn't want it gone for a couple weeks for someone to check it where I probably could do myself. Overall - I think both eFoils are top choices and you can't go wrong with any of them. Again - fantastic video and keep up the great reviews.

    A great back to back comparison. Lovely to see the premier boards side by side. Thanks.
    I chose a FliteBoard Pro because they’d just came out with Series 2. I have a Waydoo and love the simple connections. From using Torqeedo electric motors, aligning the data pin contacts are the most regular problem.
    Second, (no size jokes please 🤪), I don’t have big hands and the lift hand controller would look like Thor’s hammer. If it can open to change the batteries, is this a potential failure point?. That being said, I’ve gone home without foiling because the controller wasn’t charged. So can feel the benefits of this.🥲
    Lift’s sexy all carbon construction is very, very tempting. But a week after getting the FliteBoard, I ran into some rocks. Gouged out some aluminium from the stabiliser arm (lowest part). Used a file on the aluminium and it’s riding as before. Carbon Fibre would have cracked or splintered on my new toy for sure. So some comfort in the aluminium option.

    • @JetSurfingNation
      @JetSurfingNation  3 роки тому +1

      Thank you. I agree both have pros and cons, nothing is ideal or perfect. Lift remote is screwed with a sealed cap so getting water into batteries is not a problem. Even if it fails, Lift was very quick in overnight shipping a replacement remote. They also plan to launch a smaller ELITE remote soon.
      Carbon fiber mast comes from Lift's other foiling boards and very strong as well.

    Great video guys, I really enjoyed it. For me Flite offers better support, I have tried both and Flite people even answered on weekends. Really fast and professional answers all the times. Lift offered not so good and fast answers to my questions. Lift has the big advantage of having foils that you can use is you have also Wingfoil gear. You only buy the mast and you can use the same foil set.
    Another thing I do not like about Lift is the water cooling system. I wonder what happens if something like a seaweed gets into to inlet and blocks the flow of water.

  • @felixVanDiemen
    @felixVanDiemen Рік тому +1

    Thank you for your thorough and well balanced video. I have chosen a Fliteboard for a couple of reasons, first I think the aluminium mast is just better and stronger and allows for passive cooling eliminating the need for messy cooling pipes, and also because I'm in Australia and I love that the Fliteboard was invented in my favourite place in the world, Byron Bay 😀

    I am going to try my first efoil tomorrow (fingers crossed) It will be a flite board and might try it again on Wednesday. Hopefully I will have hands on access to both lift and flite.
    Engineering wise, I would lean towards the flite. However, I do have buyers anxiety with the lift, because I feel that their connection interface needs a radical change and I don’t want to be that guy who buys his board just before the new model with the new connections come out.

    (Edited)Ok, the point about simple recovery from breaching not being important is confusing to me. You say that "professionals don't breach so it doesn't matter". But almost none of us are professionals, when I saw the Fliteboard's main wing breach and then just slide under again without a drama, I was sold. This is the scariest aspect of the sport to me.
    What else do I like: , I'll be using it in the surf so the free spinning prop is gold, Stronger mast, with adjustable angle of rear wing, better electronics, better controller and apparent range I'm also from Sydney... No brainer, it's the Fliteboard for me, likely purchase next year...
    Thanks so much 🙏🙏🙏

      I don't consider myself a "professional" as well. But I almost never breach my motor on Lift. It's not a big deal really especially if you got a long 32 inch mast.
      Worst case if you breach you just nosedive and fall, and start all over.

      Motor breach and foil wing breach are different things. If your Lift motor/prop breaches the pulling power decreases and your prop gets back to the water nicely if don't reduce the power with the controller. Not a big deal. I hardly ever fall. But if your foil front wing comes out of the water then you are in bigger trouble. :) You might survive, but most propably fall. I like with the Lift setup that you have some extra inches after prop breaching before the front wing hit the surface. Can't comment the Flite setup. My two cents. Great video as always! Mahalo.

    Hi Mike, I am now a part of the e-foiling family!! I ordered the Fliteboard Ultra l with the 80cm mast 1500 jet wing , jet propulsion and the Explore battery to compensate for the jet drag. Do you think it is going to be too heavy (the explore battery) with me being 80kg (in comparison to the Nano battery) or I will be able to enjoy long rides just fine (will I be able to take off without problems or will it sink) ? Please note that I am not much interested in carving and wave riding at this stage since I am a beginner.

I can tell you that this is the most reliable watercraft I’ve owned in 20+ years of enthusiastic use, and my “real” foiling has gotten better by getting time on new wings before going out with my more hardcore foiling friends.

    I think even with your improved mast it is still 3d printed which is flexing massively underwater under motor load. That and probably your baseplate connection and your fuselage all bending so that foil isn’t getting a chance to fly at the correct angle for lift. Too much flex in the entire system. Good on you for trying this though.

    The new Lift remote with a colour screen could be a mistake. Colour screens relies on emitting light to display information.

    Is the Flite board less buoyant than the Lift? I had ridden a few left boards and then purchased a flight board in the longer version actually. When I’m in the water starting a ride, it seems too much more easily submerge than the lift did. I’m wondering if that’s your experience?

      I have a friend professional wing foiler. He also has a takuma efoil and loves it but feels like it is not enough challenge. Wingfoil is more difficult and challenging sport. He only uses efoil when there is no wind but in a windy day always prefers wing foil.

      @@JetSurfingNation probably nice thing with the lighter efoils is that you can power out of the marina or upwind without swimming or struggling - then power off and use the hand-wing downwind saving most of the battery; like most sailboats with their motor.

    I like much better the lift foil. I have watched you’re passed videos with the lift efoil and every time you opened the hatch I think you passed 90 degrees. I don’t recommend to do it because you can broke the thing that has the hatch and then water can enter into the compartment.

      All my windsurf friends are peasants. We would never be able to afford £7000 to get into a new sports. Unless the price goes down.
      The first mobile phone was the brick, but it cost £1000s back in the 90's. No one could afford it other than companies. Now we can all have it. So you see in time the price off all modern technology has to go down. Otherwise it won't attract new people.

      The comparison to mobile phone is incorrect in my opinion. We are not talking of a mass product here but about a very niche specific product, similar to high end bikes they will be never mass produced, this sport is not for everyone. It will remain similar to jetski - a niche sport for watersports fans.
