Both are great, And if I had to change my board I would go for Fliteboard. Efoil riders are just 7km from my house and they are great people... ..but, no way Fliteboard can last 2,5 hours, and the safty thing of the remote it is really annoying. Those are the two things I do think the same as you do. Everyone has their own opinions that's for sure. The rest I think we have the same feelings. Great video and thanks for it!
Thank you. Flite's board is carbon and Carbon Inegra (polyester) vs. Lift all carbon board, mast, fuselage and wings. Flite also water cooled and the water flows up the mast and cools the ESC and the output is at the back of the flange at the top of the mast. Flite has an aluminum mast and there is a sacrificial anode that is especially needed in saltwater. Flite is supposed to be disassembled every 3 days. Flite has a gearbox that is the source of the extra noise. vs. Lift's direct drive. Flite needs a service from a Flite Service Center every 100 hours or every year whichever comes first. Service is $150-$400 depending on location. Flite has a 2 year transferable warranty. Flite remote has many more bells and whistles and tracks rides. Lift trigger throttle has better variability. Lift tail options come in various lengths. Flite's 65cm mast gives the same prop in water ride-hight as Lift's longest mast 32" and Flite has a 75cm mast option. I have Lift and Flite and like them both. Lift is simpler to leave together as there is no 3-day disassembly requirement and no aluminum mast and anode and Flite is easier to take apart
You don't take all that apart every time you take the battery out on the Lift! Water connection stays, 3 plugs stay. 2 connections, same as Flite to take the battery out/in.
Very much so! I agree. Some people still argue that it is way more wires to connect even though they only disconnect two wires to put the battery in same just like Flite
@@Mr.Efly01 and you have to think of all us lake people that never put it in a vehicle and it stays put together for the entire summer, then you never have to breatk it down.
Great overview. I'm on Fliteboard at the moment but would love to ride/own a Lift with "quiet operation" being a big selling point. The Blowfish is also an ingenious add-on product. I feel like Fliteboard has the advantage for now in most other areas: battery design, the blended motor + fuselage + trailing stabilizer which increases usable mast-length (super valuable imo), and riding feel. Looking forward to seeing what both brands release in 2025.
Great comparison

I'm only a couple minutes in but you're doing what no one else has by comparing these two boards. Thank you!
Glad to help!
Try the efoilsolutions Axis wing adapters for Flite! Currently riding a 910 PNG and a Spitfire 960 Enjoy!
I'll check it out!

Also you have to think about people that don’t have a truck or a large suv so yes then you have to break it down everytime.

I see the motor position touted by all Flite owners constantly. it looks like maybe 3-4" difference? Is that really changing the ride?

I can take my Lift wings off and use them on my foil board to kite foil. I sell or trade my wings with kite foilers. Lift has no gearbox in the motor.
