Lift is better all around premium brand. Flite rides nose up, you need to figure out what shim to use to level it out. And makes a loud whining noise. Lift 4 pro is the best of the best

Lift 4 Pro is pretty awesome and there is a bit of nose up on the Flite which is useful on sharp turns, but the loud whining noise I don't recognize. Are you talking about the Fliteboard Pro?

@@DIVEindotcom-boating all of the flites make loud whining noises. It’s hard to ride next to them. And I never have issue making hard turns on the lift. They ride level to the water which is a great feeling. Way better than riding captain Morgan style

Hi There, Is it real, have you tried it? When I look at their website, it looks more like a concept than a board in production. But I could be mistaken, we'd love to test is out if the board is in production.

Sifly pros based on my level of knowledge and without guarantee for any correctness: - raising player with financial power which very likely will exist for years - established local dealer and support structure (I live in Germany and they are located in Bulgaria) - strong battery with active management and intelligent power charger (riding time was till now just roughly 45 min with 20% left but support told me might get better with warmer weather) - EPP board which has great shape for touch downs - powerful engine and location of the engine next to the propeller - great app, functions and remote controller (sometimes, my board is not connecting perfectly to the app but for me that's a minor negative aspect) - already three different wings as well as stabs and Fliteboard wings / stabs can get utilized with a Sifly (not all but so far based on my experience all stabs and the Flyer 800) + great customer service which I contacted multiple times in the past Cons: - black EPP boad might get very warm in the sun, battery could face issues (not sure about Waydoo) - size of the board is quite large (Waydoo is as well large) - no folding prop available or similar solution (don't need it right now and I'm confident it will get developed in the future) - bag for wings and mast is way too large, inefficient and for me simply useless

Hi there, Sorry I didn't see your message before now. I can see you already got a SiFly Rider, and seems to be happy about it? Did you get a lot of time on the boards?
@ASenseofCapital
4 ай бұрын
You mean time overall or per session? Overall, I had 10 sessions since I've started beginning of March and so far, 0 issues. Performance is more than enough for me (speed of 30 - 35 km/h with gear 10 - 15 of 20) and ride time is roughly 1 hour under colder weather conditions (I guess more is possible when battery works in warmer conditions). Would buy it again.

It’s too bad that you are not really pushing the test on the time per board. Even your article gives a vague “up to 2h” for most boards which seem like a constructor feedback and not a real life test. This is certainly one of the main criteria for me and certainly plenty of other people. Speed test and ride quality would also be great to have a rating on.
@DIVEindotcom-boating
2 ай бұрын
I hear you, and we will try to update the articles with the data we have. We did the ride time test, but often we got different results, as factors like current, waves, and so on changed from test to test. We didn't do a speed test, as we didn't(and still don't) see top speed as a real factor when deciding between efoils to buy. Quality of riding, ride time, ease of set-up, etc. are much more important factors to look at.
@mikeb1039
Ай бұрын
that's the norm. In large part because of the almost endless variables of rider weight, water conditions, how fast, HOW MUCH TIME ON FOIL VERSUS ON THE WATER, etc etc. I've personally gotten 1:40 on my Lift and also gotten right at 1 hr on the same battery with me riding.

@DIVEindotcom-boating
3 ай бұрын
Thanks. It's not so much the board, but the prop rather. Folding props that can go Fliteboard and Lift systems allow the rider to release the throttle and reduce drag to fly on wave power alone. So, it's about what "build" you get or what extra accessories you have more than the board itself. The idea being that you use power to get into the wave. There are some attachable jets, foildrives, for regular foil boards, but there's more drag on those.

Some of the new battery tech developments could also bring the price down a bit. Otherwise, you have Waydoo, Sifly Rider and the Flight Air coming in under $7,000. Still pricey, but difficult to see the Xiaomis of the world doing it much cheaper. Motorless foil boards aren't cheap either. The best thing would be for these companies to start offering some payment plans/financing.

Take a look at the foil boards--board, mast, wings only--and you'll see that they cost more than 2-grand. Add battery, engine, controller and all the software and wiring that integrates them and it's hard to see that it could be cheaper. The battery alone costs $1,500 usd if you buy an unproven knockoff.

Different battery options for each set mean a lot of specs to dish out. Lift is definitely one of the best but our experience includes people who actually love the Flite and wouldn't go for anything else, those that have a Vinga and love it because it uses the same battery as their Ravik, those that think it doesn't get any better than Aerofoils. There are also a few people I know who have the Flyer Plus and feel more comfortable on that after trying the others listed here. It seems Lift has the community with the most vociferous riders, on the other hand. Thanks for the comment.

Lame… No conclusion, no real opinion, no real perspective… No overall winner, no best bang for your buck, no best value, no best for bigger riders or smaller riders… What you did manage to do is waste a lot of time. If you are going to do a comparison, do compare them, this isn’t a promo for each board… We can get promo videos from the makers… This was lame.

We tried these and are giving you a general confirmation of what the makers are presenting, for the most part. The reality is, Tim, that without knowing your profile, there's just not a silver bullet platform that hits the mark for everyone. The market is split into people who wanna buy one for themselves and rental outfits that want something for a wide range of riders. If you see our other video about the best beginner board, there are also caveats about buying a board EXCLUSIVELY and ONLY for big riders. If you watch this video you'll also see that each efoil has wing and mast options that change the profile. And many brands are copying each other too. So, what's your profile, what do you want? Let us know and we can give you some specific suggestions.
