  • Transporting the eFoil to the water

    28.01.20260:01

    Tips & tricks for eFoiler. In this episode, we discuss a useful eFoil accessory that can make transport to the water much easier. A complete eFoil weighs at least 30 kg, including the battery. You can carry it 10 meters or more with one hand on the mast and one hand on a hand strap (or alternatively, with the mast on your shoulder). But what if you have to walk further? This is where the eFoil cart comes in handy. It's a buggy with large wheels and plenty of pockets for accessories.

    Fliteboard or Lift Foils? We tested the latest Flite and Lift models. Who did win the race? There is a major update to the question “Fliteboard or Lift Foils,” because Fliteboard was acquired by Brunswick Corporation in 2023, and Lift Foils launched the Lift5 in 2025. A completely new eFoil from Lift. In this episode we also briefly discuss the differences between Flite and Lift compared to Aerofoils. The Audi e-tron foils have gained a lot of market share since 2022.

  • eFoil Scooter comparison

    15.01.20260:01

    What are these eFoil scooters like Flitescooter for and who are they for? Flitescooter or Audi HyperFly? In our eFoil Scooter review, we compared both. There is a favorite for us. Today we are talking about eFoil Scooters. In particular, the Flitescooter from Fliteboard and the Audi HyperFly from Aerofoils. That scooters are the easiest form of eFoiling. While you couldn't just give out a normal eFoil, for example, in rental or on a luxury yacht, because it would be too dangerous without training, it's different with eFoil scooters.

  • How to store eFoil batteries safe

    The safe storage of lithium-ion batteries with a capacity of over 1000 kWh, as used in water toys such as eFoils and jetboards, is crucial to ensure safety and longevity. We have already written two articles about lithium-ion batteries in the past. Here is an update with new features and a summary of the original articles. Especially those who store lithium-ion batteries from eFoils and jet surfboards in inhabited rooms as well as in boats or motorhomes should take this topic to heart.

  • How to store electric surfboards in winter?

    01.01.202614:36

    How to store electric surfboards like eFoils in winter is a question that we get often. Of course we have our own experience with winter storage, but we also asked the manufacturers for their feedback. It's getting cold in the northern hemisphere. A large number of e-surfers who recently still enjoyed their eFoil from Aerofoils, Lift Foils or Fliteboard or a jetboard like the mo-jet or Awake Boards have now stowed the good pieces somewhere in a garage or something similar. But what should you watch out for in winter storage?

  • The art of silent flying – technology, speed, and lifestyle

    26.12.202514:46

    In this episode, we dive into the fascinating world of eFoils (electric surfboards) that let us glide almost silently across the water. We answer the question that every beginner asks: How fast is an eFoil really? Find out why even 20 to 30 km/h on the water feels like weightlessness, while pros break the 50 km/h mark with special race wings. But speed isn't everything. We talk about why eFoiling hasn't lost any of its magic even after seven years. Thanks to constant technical possibilities – from changing wings to fine-tuning with accessories such as shims or different fuselages – the riding experience can be redefined again and again. Also in this episode: • Logistics check: Why you can never charge your eFoil from a normal car battery, but mobile generators like the Honda EU 22i can save your trip on a boat or in a motorhome. • Safety & accessories: From fireproof battery boxes to special leash attachments – we show you which equipment makes the difference between frustration and maximum riding enjoyment. • The comparison: How does the eFoil compare to classic sports like windsurfing or jet skiing? Whether you're a beginner or already gliding across the water, this episode provides you with in-depth insights into a hobby that uniquely combines technology, freedom, and nature.
