Lift Foils - Most Affordable And User Friendly Board

Sadly, the ‘future’ did not quite turn out to be as cool as what many retro sci-fi movies have promised will come. Some emerged as true though—robots and holograms did occur, but affordable rides to the Moon and time machines, unfortunately, have yet to make their grand entrance into our midst.

While technological advancement can only be viewed in hindsight (and a far-sighted one at that), the arrival of the e-foil seems to have gone under the public’s radar despite it being around for nine years, save for one or two viral videos. Created by Lift Foils founder Nick Leason, the e-foil is an electric hydrofoil that uses virtually silent lithium-ion batteries to foil through water, with no need for wind or waves. This enables the carbon fibre board and specially designed hydrofoils to fly over almost any body of water at up to 35mph—you can be Aladdin or Jasmine on a magic carpet ride.
