FLITEBOARD

From a spark of inspiration to a global company producing some of the coolest electrofoils in the world, Flite has come a long way in a short amount of time.

Flite's founder, former kitesurfing world record holder and serial entrepreneur David Trevern, was at a kitefoiling event when he thought, “What if I didn't have to wait for the wind. What if I could just attach an electric motor to my foil?"

This dream became a sketch and a workshop. The 3D printer went full blast and late nights turned into early mornings. After dozens of prototypes, David took to the air for the first time. "It was magical. The feeling of freedom was like no other.”

Flite now has over 330 authorized partners, Fliteschools around the world and offices in three countries: Australia, the Netherlands and the USA. The team now includes naval architects, fluid dynamics specialists, product designers, mechanical engineers, electronics engineers, and software engineers. Flite are focused on the intersection of innovative technologies for hydrofoils.

In 2021, Flite set records for the fastest eFoil speed in the world and hosted the first official international eFoiling race, the Flite Cup. In 2022, Flite Ambassador Tom Court and big wave surfer Glyn Owens used eFoils Flite to surf the biggest waves ever conquered (Nazare), on an electric hydrofoil.

Flite currently holds 10 patents and 4 registered designs, with more in development. Now they have released the most advanced series to date. Series 3 is lighter, safer, more responsive and more connected. The full Flite range includes the popular, dynamic and easy-to-handle AIR electric foil, the advanced PRO model, the acrobatic ULTRA and the world's lightest eFoil ULTRA. Recent innovations include the Flitecell Nano (the world's lightest lithium-ion eFoil) and the Flite Jet (the world's smallest jet eFoil). The constant development of the brand creates new standards in the world of electrofoils.

One of the innovations that makes boards outperform others on the market is the patented one-piece fuselage. Flite makes the engine and mast from a single piece of aircraft-grade aluminum, a process that takes 14 hours, instead of attaching the engine to the mast separately. This not only increases the strength of the structure, but also improves heat dissipation from the motor itself.

Flite is proud of pushing the boundaries of what's possible on eFoil. The best part is the thrill we get from the trip.
