James Jenkins explores the BVI on Fliteboard ULTRA Fliteboard 2023-07-06 | Flite Team Rider James Jenkins, visited the British Virgin Islands earlier this year and left with a new outlook on future trips:"I recently had the chance to bring my Fliteboard ULTRA to the British Virgin Islands and after that trip, I will never go anywhere without it. It truly is the perfect surf exploration toy. Every morning I would launch off the boat wherever we were anchored and check out new reefs or any wave that looked like it could be ridden. The freedom and independence of a Fliteboard has given me some amazing solo sessions. I combined the ULTRA with the True Glide prop and all of a sudden, I was towing myself into unpowered foil rides in some of the most beautiful water I have ever seen. Fliteboard has given me a completely new way to travel and explore waves."James had some epic sessions riding his Fliteboard ULTRA, paired with Flitecell Sport, True Glide prop and Flow 110 wing.

Flite x Plastic Soup Surfer on a mission for cleaner waterways Fliteboard 2022-10-19 | We collaborated with @plasticsoupsurfer (Merijn Tinga) to help his mission to get rid of disposable cups. In the Netherlands alone, 5 million disposable cups are used every morning. At Flite, we’re all about cleaner quieter waterways and loved his idea to build a custom Fliteboard using disposable cups in order to Fliteboard from Brussels to Amsterdam - a distance of 385kms (which is the distance of 5mill disposable cups lined in a row). Merijn did a great job raising awareness and engaging with policy and decision makers, speaking with EU Commissioner Frans Timmermans, Secretary of State Ms. Heijnen, local politicians, entrepreneurs and many more. Thanks for the inspiration @plasticsoupsurfer

Fliteboard the biggest waves in the world at Nazaré Fliteboard 2022-02-25 | The adventure team consisted of Glyn Ovens and Tom Court.Glyn Ovens from Wales, UK, who now bases himself at Nazaré during the winter, as accomplished waterman in multiple disciplines, with a drive for riding the biggest waves possible each season.Tom Court also an experienced water man, from the Isle of Wight, UK, a professional kitesurfer and multiple discipline athlete.The two got together with their passion for hydrofoils and after a long time planning, the project in Portugal kicked off, to be the first to ride the giant waves of Nazaré on a Fliteboard.The idea had been a long time in the making with many moving parts to consider: the team, and mostly Glyn, having done a lot of ground work from lining up the equipment, organising skis, drivers, filmers, boards, foils and finally the forecast, just to get to the point of actually getting out on the water… Glyn is the recognized hydrofoiler who rides Nazaré on most swells, and with his background of knowledge about how it works, all the elements needed to ensure safety on the water, he steered the call on the best conditions and ultimately made the final decision on which forecast that the team would fly on.Tom being the current efoil race champion, has experience pushing Fliteboards to their maximum speeds, making him ready to go fast, however this time on vertical water, rather than horizontal... changing the game and opening up interesting questions about how these boards would perform and what setup, wings and shims would be best to handle these extreme conditions.The objective was to push the possibilities of what sized waves could be ridden on a efoil and further refine the performance of Fliteboard’s in these extreme environments.The conditions the team were presented, where "the best of the whole season, so far”... No wind, clear skies, and a perfectly lined up, big swell. Glyn giving the project the green light a week out on the forecast, Tom flew from the UK to Portugal to get himself ready for days ahead.The team had a couple of warm-up days before the swell arrived and then into the 'big stuff'!Waves of this size have huge consequences, for rider and equipment. Everything had to be checked and prepared, every detail covered. These conditions are not to be taken lightly and trust in the team and the equipment is paramount. So training days, testing days and general experience in these waves was needed…The swell was thumping through, with a walls of water up to 15m in height.The cliff was packed with spectators, sun was out, wind was light, to almost nothing: the amphitheatre was set for a special Nazaré day, that would kick of 2022 with a buzz on the water.Stepping off the support ski onto the board was a lonely first step, but once flying and in control of their own destiny, the guys felt at home. "Once you were on the board, you had to control the ride, speed and also judge the ocean, set waves, position in the line up and make sure you are in the right spot. Making all the decisions yourself, as in the end, you are alone out there if it all goes wrong".Using the electric motor to propel themselves on huge lumps of water, feeling the speed of the Fliteboard, added to by the immense energy of the ocean, the two flowing together in silence, but for the thunder of the wave, and the roar of the crowd. Consumed by the acceleration and speed, judging the line and staying in control was a fine balance.The guys used the race wing setup, True Glide prop, PRO board and Flite impact vest.With the introduction of some new negative shims in order to handle speed and acceleration with a bit more ease, using the -1 shim on the rear race wing enables us to feel more controlled at speed.After the morning session on the big day, using one battery, they came in for lunch and compared feedback to trim the setup for the afternoon. After some food, they hit the water again, with renewed energy, this time it was bigger and they took on 'first peak', directly under the famous Nazaré lighthouse. The huge peaks of ocean energy lining up perfectly for the foil…The buzz after the day was compete was epic.New experiences for both riders, pushing Toms experience in big wave arena and driving Glyn onto a new adventure with the development of new ways to ride big waves and big wave riding equipment…This was just the beginning of a great journey and not just a destination.-Words by Glyn OvensRiders:@glynovens@courtintheactCredits:@rodrcaetano (film and editing) @abovecreators (shots) @andrecarvalhophoto (shots) @vitor_faneca_estrelinha (shots)@heidihansenphotography_ocean (shots) @joaocordass (shots)@nuno_santos_violino (water safety) @pppraia (watersafety)

Which Fliteboard eFoil wing is right for me? Fliteboard 2022-01-18 | Fliteboard wings have been specifically designed for electric foiling, by expert hydrodynamicists.Crafted from advanced composites including carbon fibre for unbeatable stability and maximum strength, they’re interchangeable so you can customise and adapt your ride to fly over the water, anywhere in the world.With 10 main wings, 4 stabilisers and 6 adjustment shims - there are now 240 ways to customize the ultimate ride.Cruiser Range - these wings are the best to learn on. They've been designed for stability and early foiling at slower speeds (with wing tips turned down for improved safety). Once you're more confident, you can take any wing up a level by removing the prop guard and riding waves with the True Glide prop.Flyer Wing - If you want more response and speed, go for a Flyer wing. It's smaller and higher aspect so you can ride faster with increased roll rate. Use a lower number shim to reduce the need for so much front foot pressure.Flow Range - Start with a bigger wing (1100 or 1300s). These wings are really responsive and a huge step up from the Flyer wing. From here, you can tailor your setup based on how and where you're riding. For flat water, a smaller Flow wing like the FlowS 900 is really responsive. It feels like loose trucks on a skateboard and you can still ride fast. For riding waves, the Flow 1100 is one of our favourites. You'll get a lot of lift and glide, using the wave energy for momentum. (Note the 'Flow S' range is the lower aspect version of the Flow range, with increased roll rate but with safer wing tips (at the expense of glide). These wings go great with the True Glide prop for riding waves without power.Race Wing - This wing feels similar to a Flyer but it's scaled down and delivers higher performance. It is our fastest wing and can take riders over 55km/h. It needs more pressure to turn, similar to snowboarding with hard boots. It has pointier tips, so you need to be careful when using this wing.
