Flite AIR Innovation: Reducing Cost While Maintaining Quality
In the ever-evolving world of electric foiling technology, Fliteboard continues to lead the way, pushing the boundaries of innovation. The newest model in the lineup, Flite AIR, is a testament to the brand’s commitment to making hydrofoiling more accessible to a wider audience.
How did Flite manage to reduce costs without compromising the quality the brand is known for?
A Revolutionary Board Concept
The Flite AIR line represents a breakthrough in electric hydrofoil design — combining performance, style, and affordability with sleek, elegant aesthetics.
The new board design — patented after over five years of research — combines a rigid riding platform with an inflatable drop-stitch structure, reducing production costs without sacrificing durability.
The use of aerospace-grade materials enhances both durability and maneuverability, ensuring exceptional stability and efficiency.
Measuring 176.78 cm in length, Flite AIR offers extra buoyancy, making it ideal for all riders — from beginners to heavier users. The more agile Flite AIR PRO, at 158.5 cm, matches traditional Fliteboards in weight and handling.
"These are simple, strong, and lightweight boards that allow far more people to experience the joy of Fliteboarding," says Fliteboard founder David Trewern. Both Flite AIR and Flite AIR PRO integrate seamlessly into the Flite ecosystem, ensuring stability, safety, and high performance.
Flite AIR incorporates multiple patented Flite innovations, including compatibility with a wide range of wings, batteries, and motors. All components are interchangeable, allowing riders to customize their setup for any style. Flite AIR is designed for efficiency and sustainability. Production is optimized to minimize waste, and all materials meet high environmental standards. With a starting price of USD 6,995, Flite AIR opens the world of Fliteboarding to an entirely new audience.
Fliteboard’s technology continues to advance rapidly, offering the best in safety, performance, and durability. Flite AIR is a step toward making the experience of flying over water available to everyone.
