Funny! I've been watching this videos all winter and I just ordered one of these for the summer.
I now have two years and hundreds of hours on the Waydoo and still stand by everything in this video. The foam board has been a feature. I’m not worried about someone getting hit by the board or scratching it getting in and out. Lift does make a great product. I think this is the best value efoil on the market. How are you liking it?
Thanks for the great review! I used your Green Hat link to purchase the EPP. Excited to try it out. 😁
Super cool on so many levels…don’t worry about board construction caus we r up on a foil so the board is in the air…Carbon n Fiber Glass Suck…Useless n Expensive to repair….MacKites is the Definitive Expert on the Southern Great Lakes…Foil Revolution is Here…best of luck!
Nice! Well done and thank you for the this
Thanks!
To understand your comment after usage of one year what is the ride time / to clarify - thank you in advance
Thanks for the great content! We ordered a couple Waydoos with your code at the end of 2023. Is there anything else we need to do to get the cool hats?
We batch mail every couple of months! I see you on the list! Hat forthcoming. The power pumper neon hats are earned w a dock start and 1min pump. These are nice, everyday hats! Thanks for your support!
Great review! Do you think the battery lasts longer with an axis (for example 1150) front wing? I have read Some comments that the battery is empty after 30-40 minutes for heavier guys and I thought it might be because the explorer wing had a aspect ratio of 4. The battery is 32 ah so that should be more than enough for longer flying times.
I am inclined to agree with you because a larger front wing lets you fly slower which is less power demand
I have several Slingshot Hoverglide Wings. 76/85/99. I also own the Waydoo Flyer One+. Where can I purchase adapters for my assortment of Hoverglide foils to fit onto my Waydoo? Great video!. I weigh 180# but can only get 50 minutes of flight time per charge.
Thankyou!!
Bill
Thank you! Slingshot doesn’t exist to my knowledge. That style of wing attachment is tough to adapt to other foils. I’ll confirm and let you know if I’m incorrect. Thanks for the battery info. I only tested once and fell off a few times. Speed matters a lot. Not surprised to see a +/- 10 minute swing depending on speed and weight of rider.
Nice review! Can you wake surf power off with this efoil? Without folding prop?
We don’t yet have the surf boats out this year, but I will let you know. I’m quite confident you can, but check out our Flite video from last week. I don’t really think unpowered wake surfing is that exciting as the sweet spot is narrow. That said, folder props have so much less “braking force” when you let go of trigger and that I enjoy .
Great but 1 hour is not enough for me i have a 7-8 hour drive to ocean how much are spate lipo battery's i need to be able to do 6 hour days at least
Thanks for posting this. Waydoo is saying up to two hours ride time with the One+. Are you see around an hour on them?
Yes. I don’t know what rider weight, speed and front wing they cite in the 2 hr ride time. I did the test myself, at the speeds I cited because that’s how I like to ride (including wipeouts!)
Have you advice on the mast and wing to get. I'm first time efoiler but don't want to have to fork out another 1000 if I outgrow the explorer quickly
Either mast is fine as the wing span isn’t too large, so tips not coming out of the water during turns. Patroller is good for high speed if you’ll wanna go fast. Explorer better if you think you’ll struggle to get the hang of it
I'm a big fan. I saw a regular foil with a bar to hold onto. It looked like they were pushing the bar to help pump. Just wondering your thoughts on it. I'll put a link in my comments.
Thank you. I’ve never tried it, but I bet it does help pumping … you can use your upper body a bit.
@@WakeThief Just wondering if it would get you an extra 30 seconds. I sure enjoy your channel.
It might!
Are there any wing adapters that work with Armstrong wings?
Not to my knowledge.
I'm still waiting on an Indiegogo e-Foil called the XFoil. I got the batteries in early April but the rest isn't supposed to ship until mid July or so. The basic foil is $3800 and the upgraded one I got is $4700. We'll see how good it is-hopefully this summer.
You get your board yet? I was worried about not getting one through there
Thanks!
Hi! What's the max weight capacity on the flyer one plus? Thanks
I don’t know. The efoil expert at mackite said 250lb. I’be 200lb riders on it.
This is genius.
So is the board just exposed foam like a syrofoam cooler?
Yes.
My brother has the lift efoil and it works pretty good. This unit is half the cost of the lift how does it compare. I would love one but can't justify 12000.00.
It really depends on you. I drive a 2007 VW rabbit because it’s a great ride from point A to point B. I’d rather drive a Tesla but appreciate saving the money. I would liken this decision to that one. If you’re the type that wants the Tesla, explore Flite and Lift.
Am I the only person who thinks that for the cost of a decent used car, these things are still waaaaaay overpriced. $650 seems right to me. Maybe we've all lost our minds and this tech is still way to expensive
why not pay $350? since you are just making up prices go lower
Personally I feel like 3.5-6k would be the sweet spot.. would love to see what the cost is to build. 6-15k though is just absurd.... am I looking at getting one of course.
Right on.
These don't need to cost more than $2000 - 2900 absolute tops.
Until they do, they'll never get truly popular.
The people paying 12-15,000 for a Lift Foil are smoking crack or the idle rich.
That said, the sport is in it's infancy - and production #s are so relatively low that the unit cost is high.
As it gains popularity it'll decrease.
Amazon already lists a GOYOUJO Brand electric surfboard (not a lift foil) for $3,990 - that's getting down to "not bad" territory.
But still too high for "Honey let's buy one for each of us & the 2 or 3 kids" range.
I love your channel, I am curious can an E-foil wake thief a boat wave while.you are out riding, to help extend the ride time and more so the fun factor.
@briandhoward6137 ha! The answer is yes. There isn’t a huge sweet spot, but there is one!
I'm 220 lbs and I get about 40 minutes with waydoo, I got two boards and two betteries for the price of one Lift foil, if i dont bring a frined I ride both boards for 1.5 hours and its plenty for me
Thanks for the insight. I love real life battery duration tests. Thanks for sharing
I could not confirm this. I‘m using my flyer now the third year - I was an early adopter - but never could fly over 30min /10km with 85Kg. Now, three years later it dropped under 30min and 8-9km. I’m still a little disappointed about the range. However it is a really great fun to fly.
@Donkytom what year did you purchase? Possible your battery was lower state of charge right out of the factory? This is the first time I’ve heard of this, and I’m sorry to hear it!
@@WakeThief i ordered my flyer in June 2022 (I thought it was the third year but I’m wrong…). That theory is possible since I’m not able to activate the battery via the app. Maybe the battery was some early product. The firmware updates is also not running… However I contacted the support in 2022 and they confirmed it is in the „range“ … what ever this means :/ … maybe I should buy a new battery? What do you think?
Was was riding yesterday in Italy and the range dropped to 8,5km
@Donkytom I think so. 30min at your weight seems way too low.
Good they are coming down in price, i would LOVE one but really cant justify 12 or 13k for one
I completely understand. It’s why we were so eager to try this for a year.
It looks like you used one of the axis front wing for the waydoo? Where could i get the adapter? Thanks
It’s not yet for sale at Mackite but will be soon.
Thank you for the great channel and very helpful contents. Is it the SABFoil adapter currently available at MacKite store? I would like to be able to use the Axis foil wings on it. Please advise.
@oveyshd I can find the sab still but no axis. I recommend you reach out to mackite for the status. Good luck!
Waydoo seems to have hit a sweet spot for value. I would probably opt for this if I was not already a Lift owner.
The real question is, however
When review of:
Sabfoil Leviathan 1550
Armstrong MA1750
Axis Art1099
???????
Thanks for sharing!
adding Axis 1201
Working to make all happen!
Sifly far better quality
only an hour? and it takes 4 hours to charge?
Do you think the other efoils are worth the extra money over the waydoo?
It depends who you are. If you are ok w a foam board and you plan to heavily use the efoil, and price matters, waydoo is a good choice. If you want the best (fit and finish, and longer battery life) and are willing to pay for it, we’d recommend Flite
I can recommend the Audi eFoil. Have recently seen the Waydoo - you get what you pay for.
Stupid question: What do you do with your phone while efoiling?
Waterproof soft case in my shorts pocket … or leave it in ny house / car.
extremely stupid.
How much classic one
$1000. Pls check link in description
This looks like a fun hobby. Let’s see how much they….Nope, never mind.
you were expecting $399? sorry stick to internet porn.
Why would You want to „fly” on the board instead of glide fast on the surface of water?
I don’t get it. Also that looks weird.
There’s a lot of less drag when you’re above the water and it’s smoother / quieter.
Budget?! I guess it's a matter of perspective....
“Budget” lol
Hmm… maybe 5 more year
I have two "waydoo" boards! Both are broken! Batteries are not leak-proof. The valves are defective and water gets into the battery! the electronic board is rotting inside and stops working! The manufacturer does not comply with warranty obligations. and he is not responsible after a year of use! Think ten times before buying waydoo! 😢 The quality of the board is very low! The joystick is constantly buggy, I have four joysticks. recently, the "leg" on the foil broke! Batteries rot because of water ingress inside, there is no tightness of the equipment.
I am preparing a detailed video review on this model of the waydoo board. there I will tell you an honest review about this equipment. I have a service life of this equipment for two years.
Mine is going on two years and still working well. No complaints. I’m sorry to hear about your experience. I know the earlier models were challenged, during the launch days of the company, but I’ve received positive feedback about this generation (launched in 2022).
cheaper doesnt equate value. give an update in 5 years.
cant go anywhere . cant take anything with .. you .
Too expensive
Still absolutely overpriced. The components are much cheaper than the whole thing. You can buy such a motor for 50 USD. Barrery, a miniature SUP/surf board, a wing, and some electronics, and a remote. How will this became 5000 USD?
Ffs
$7000 "accessible"
This is the lowest cost efoil I am aware of
@WakeThief just irony of using the word "accessible" to describe a $7000 water skateboard is what hit me
It’s as accessible as it gets … right now.
$1200.00 only if you know the channel and where to buy it in China and it is without the logo.
@@fk3437do you have the connection?
Skip this brand. Go to Lift.
I now have two years and hundreds of hours on the Waydoo and still stand by everything in this video. The foam board has been a feature. I’m not worried about someone getting hit by the board or scratching it getting in and out. Lift does make a great product. I think this is the best value efoil on the market.
@@WakeThief I had Waydoo for 3 years and sold it after test riding Lift. Couldn’t go back after experiencing Lift. Used the money for the Lift. Currently on 170 HA with folding prop. No regrets.
It won't be working in 6 months I promise you that's...
I’ve been using for 18 months and no problems so far
Using it the third year now, great fun, so… don’t make a fool of yourself…
