Come fly with me.

Beginning as children, we all wanted to fly. Putting aside traveling by plane, we channeled this desire through books and movies, our comic book superheroes, or our own imaginations.

Now, aboard a Lift Foils LIFT3 F eFoil, one of your dreams can come true as you glide above the water on a high-tech, precision-engineered, electrically powered surfboard.
“Being the designer and the rider, we offer an experience where you can really hone in on what you’re feeling and why you are feeling it,” says CEO Nick Leason. “Riding an eFoil is not only about going out and surfing, but also about connecting with nature.”
Years of research and development have gone into its design, components and systems, resulting in an exciting, adrenaline-charged, above-the-water experience. Powered by an advanced, lithium-ion battery running a silent electric motor, the finely constructed board is mounted on a machined aluminum hydrofoil, allowing you to surf above the water unlike any other watersport. A safety shroud protects the prop and rider, and control of the eFoil is via a wireless, handheld Bluetooth remote.
The LIFT3 F eFoil is available in Iceberg Blue and Sunset Peach colorways and in two sizes — the 4-foot, 9-inch sport model and the 5-foot, 4-inch cruiser model. Both sizes feature the Lift FRP propeller, which allows users to fly longer and smoother with the new tapered hub design.
“At Lift, we constantly strive to perfect our product to make it easier to enjoy your surroundings. All the new features and cutting-edge technology do just that,” Leason says.
The eFoil is customizable with a choice of wings and accessories. With a quick learning curve and low maintenance, you too can join the ranks of this latest offering for water enthusiasts and become a Foiler.
