Folks complaining about the cost have no idea about the huge investment it would take to get something like this off the ground. Like all tech, price will fall over time as pets commoditise and sales volumes increase. Personally it looks like it’s be worth every penny even at this price.
Can you explain why i get a unmotorised board for 2k. But adding an e motor somehow adds 10k to sales price. I know batteries and stuff cost a lot but 10k? Really?
B-1 Battle Droid you’re making the mistake of only looking at the hardware costs. There would be an enormous amount of RnD, testing, prototyping, software etc etc... I think $12k is cheap all that considered. Prices will fall but without early adopters paying high prices to support early versions the majority will never see the low cost version. If you can’t afford it then just be thankful to those willing to spend top dollar which paves the way for the lower cost versions further down the track.
Thanks Jeremy. Ride time varies depending on the wing size and rider weight. Using the 250 wing and a ride of 175 lb we’ve been able to get almost 1.5 hours of ride time!
JetSurfing Nation jet boards & efoils That doesn’t answer my question, if it’s not in the water what difference can it make to carving? Only the foil can influence that, or am I missing something?
It clearly says at 1:05 that the shape of the nose makes it easier to carve, then shows a picture of the nose 2 feet out of the water, where it can have zero influence on the boards interaction with the water.
@@Therapistinthewhitehouse the footage shown is just a commercial footage. In real conditions it's not always that clean and glassy. There is a lot of chop, so the smaller the board, the longer the mast - the easier to carve. As for shape of the nose it's most likely just a "marketing update". In my opinion the size of the board and the mast is much more important for carving
Does anyone know how much the lithium battery decreases overtime? For efoils made in 2018 or whenever they came out, how much has ride time reduced in one charge?
@@JetSurfingNation Yup. hopefully battery tech will be cheaper and more effective in future! Lots of possibilities there. But good luck with you guys and hopefully one day I have one too :)
I have owned my Lift Foil 3 for about 2 months. They say up to 2 hours in the water. I'm getting about 1 hour and 40 minutes in the water consistently. It takes 2 hours to charge. The product is incredible quality, all carbon fiber, very rugged. VERY happy with my purchase, am pretty much addicted to eFoiling at this point.
You think the demographic for this TOY care about the price tag? This is like a guy saying "Lambo? I'd rather have a down payment on a house and multiple vacations!"
@@JetSurfingNation I always get my butler to drop of my jetski and boats...and hot girls at the dock for me in the morning so I can wake up...get the copter in the air and meet them while they are on the water. Just a day in the life of us rich people
I seen that these lift foil boards cost about $12,000 on your website. If that’s true that is way too expensive for most people. For $12,000 I can buy myself a brand new watercraft that would be faster and that I could fish on and that I could toe surf on and that I could pull a foil board onto waves and have much more uses than your lift board.
They are not going to so much of these left boards because the price is $12,000. The price needs to be more around $3000 so everybody can afford it. They are not going to succeed because it’s too expensive.
Would love to see you do that and report back to us. There’s DIY electric surfboard videos on TH-cam to get you started. Good luck, you might go over budget and your board will have plenty of problems but you’ll learn why the eFoil costs so much 😂
Way over priced in today’s world. Lower your gross profit margins and you will sell twice as many. I can help with your supply chain and save you thousands in the production runs and increase sales.. Guaranteed😎
That folding prop is so cool, also highly underrated video
A tip : watch movies on flixzone. I've been using them for watching a lot of movies during the lockdown.
@Reece Orlando yup, I have been using flixzone for years myself :)

Very nice review. How long of a ride on one battery?
Thanks Jeremy. Ride time varies depending on the wing size and rider weight. Using the 250 wing and a ride of 175 lb we’ve been able to get almost 1.5 hours of ride time!
@@TechWeWant That's a pretty long ride time then~
Tech We Want I’m 120 pounds so that’s like 2 or 2.5 hours if I’m right
@@TechWeWant Thanks for the reply. Somehow I just saw the notification.
Rich people toys look fun!!
I stopped watching at "Starts at $12,000."
yes, si, oui, si,
They sell some for a lot less they didn’t show it in the video. It’s on the website , there a some for 1100-2000$
is not the normal person toy xD
@@jonathanmireles1483 dolars or pesos
Now it's around 10k with a sale discount and it's totally worth it
How does the shape of the nose effect how it carves when it’s 2 feet out of the water?
The smaller size lift carves really well.
JetSurfing Nation jet boards & efoils
That doesn’t answer my question, if it’s not in the water what difference can it make to carving? Only the foil can influence that, or am I missing something?
@@Therapistinthewhitehouse Sorry maybe I misunderstood. What are you comparing to? Carving on a jetboard vs carving on an efoil?

Any battery decreases over time, around 15% decrease
1200$ - 2500$ And I am in. Looks fun though!
It's not happening... The battery tech is very expensive for now. Hopefully in future
@@JetSurfingNation Yup. hopefully battery tech will be cheaper and more effective in future! Lots of possibilities there. But good luck with you guys and hopefully one day I have one too :)
@@henriviljamaa9011 Cheers!
oh wow I never even knew this was a thing. How awesome!
yes, it's an amazing new sport of efoiling
How many hours does the battery charge? How many hours does it move in water?
I have owned my Lift Foil 3 for about 2 months. They say up to 2 hours in the water. I'm getting about 1 hour and 40 minutes in the water consistently. It takes 2 hours to charge. The product is incredible quality, all carbon fiber, very rugged. VERY happy with my purchase, am pretty much addicted to eFoiling at this point.
Can I add that it would be wise to also sell high visibility/water survival Apparel. Boating is serious and these are in a sense are water crafts.
$12,000?! That's the price of a car!
Actually you could buy a few cars!
Yeah that price is ridiculous. For $12,000 I was going to buy myself a brand new Jetske that I could have way more fun and way more uses.
@@blairakana9984 expensive maintenance too
6.2 range?tx
How much?
12k bro to much 😕
If i only could afford it ✨🤩
Lmao 12k for this? Id rather buy a jetski or even a new car
You think the demographic for this TOY care about the price tag? This is like a guy saying "Lambo? I'd rather have a down payment on a house and multiple vacations!"
@Random Guy elaborate, would love to hear how you know so much.
Try to put a jetski in the trunk of the car.. This is a small and portable efoil that you can take alone to the beach.
@@JetSurfingNation I always get my butler to drop of my jetski and boats...and hot girls at the dock for me in the morning so I can wake up...get the copter in the air and meet them while they are on the water. Just a day in the life of us rich people
Seems interesting.
There should be a hydrofoil lite or something
At that price this will be a toy for the rich. Forget it.
This should be 6k tops more than that this will continue to be for high end ppl
Hoping in a few more years it will get down to under $5K!
$12,000+ is just absurd

WAY more fun than a watercraft, go take a lesson on one, you will be hooked
Thank you for sharing the review, great efoil! I invite efoil and jetboard fans to my channel as well where we test the new boards! cheers!
Holy crap $12K?
Too expensive... why recreational equips r so expensive..?
They're not, only experimental and unique, are.
The battery tech is very expensive and the demand for the boards is very high
Lost me at 12k.
That price is WAY to steep for me. I Scuba dive and I think even this is an expensive hobby.
No! About $1800 more or less.
Let's not call it an investment. That's not correct in any way.
Why not?
$12,000 hahahahhaah, next..........
Oops! Must have looked wrong. Wow! More than a car.
Idk how people get away with making things like this so expensive. I guess they're targeting privileged customers only.
They are not going to so much of these left boards because the price is $12,000. The price needs to be more around $3000 so everybody can afford it. They are not going to succeed because it’s too expensive.

Sport for Rich or someone without responsibilities ‼️
$12K...Hard Pass
$12,0000 for one of these. Yeah. This is for the rich.
12 mil dólares? Kkkkk os cara é louco, 12 mil dólares eu compro um carro top
For 12k you can build a better vesion of this kind of surfboard
No reason these should cost this much it’s stupid. I can build one with a kit for less then a grand
Would love to see you do that and report back to us. There’s DIY electric surfboard videos on TH-cam to get you started. Good luck, you might go over budget and your board will have plenty of problems but you’ll learn why the eFoil costs so much 😂
first! Great review
$12,000. Who are you kidding...? Get real
It sucks being poor

David Fournier Yeah, top e-bikes are about 4k. I really don’t see more work going into this!
