Flite, based in Byron Bay, Australia, is now part of the Brunswick Group. This young brand, born in 2016, specializes in the eFoil industry - or autonomous foiling surfboards, if you prefer.
The 2024 range (the fourth generation) of Fliteboard and Fliteboard PRO offers new options, including a high-performance aluminum eFoil propulsion system with a tapered titanium wing interface.
Riders can also opt for a carbon fiber skeg (known as a mast) designed by foil specialist Marc Newson, and a color-screen hand controller with a new shape and interface dedicated to navigating in the waves. The fiberglass range will be available in the new Yuzu color.
The boards also benefit from a range of durable Soft Top EVA coverings. This new material features a cushioned top layer offering beginners a comfortable grip on the board, but also added durability that lends itself perfectly to launching from our multihulls.
Among the new products, the new ULTRA L2 is the world’s lightest production eFoil at just 41 lbs (18.63 kg), designed for experienced riders. The board’s narrower shape offers ultimate maneuverability and impeccable responsiveness. Its efficient Mercury Marine-designed folding propeller allows you to ride the waves almost automatically without a motor. To create the lightest board possible, the battery box has been reduced in size and will be exclusively compatible with Flite Sport and Nano batteries.
The Flite AIR, AIR PRO as well as the Flitescooter will of course remain available for a good start for those just getting into eFoils.
