What is the best efoil? Fliteboard or Liftfoils? Which efoil to pick?
This question comes up again and again! And today we are going to
answer it once and for all! We are doing an honest and unbiased Side
By Side Comparison of a brand new Lift Foils E3 4.2 Pro board vs brand
new Fliteboard Ultra efoil! In this long and in-depth video we are
going through every detail trying to help you make an educated
decision on which board to pick!
Discover the thrill of eFoils: https://e-surfer.com/en/comparison/efoil/ and explore top Jetboards: https://e-surfer.com/en/comparison/jetboard/.
Full disclosure - I am NOT affiliated with any brands and it's up to
you which board to pick. I got LiftFoils for myself but it does not
mean that I prefer it over Fliteboard Ultra. My goal is to test all
efoils and jetboards on the market and stay independent and unbiased
as possible.

P.S. It was extremely difficult to arrange this video and you might
notice in my voice I was very sick when recording it, but I could not
cancel or postpone it so we had to make it done on that day! I had to
actually wake up at 4-30 AM and drive 200km each way to reach Pedro
and his location. Apologies for my weak voice and hit "like" for
effort.
=========================
Summary Lift vs Flite
Liftfoils E3 4.2
Disadvantages

(However new Elite controller is coming with more advanced tech)
Lack of a lightweight sports battery
Less stability when breaching the motor
No inflatable option, no lights, no leash, no straps option
App does not track rides (no gps)
Fliteboard Ultra

Disadvantages
High pitch annoying noise (louder than Lift)

Both boards similar characteristics:
Similar riding time, similar charging time
Same effective mast length. (even though Lift 32 inch mast is longer)
Similar riding experience (which depends a lot on the wings setup)
A great range of wings and stabilizer wings
Outstanding premium support by both Lift and Flite
