Pro Tips - eFoil (Electric Hydrofoil Surfboard) Riding Techniques

[@toonybrain]

We have been having tremendous fun efoiling on the lake. The memories are precious. These machines are huge people magnets; when we’re done, there are always people who approach us to take photos of the foils and ask us questions. The Lift eFoil advertises itself. Thank you for these tips.

[@freddmann]

Thank you. this video is very helpful in moving beyond the beginner stage.

I bought one for the family for Christmas. I love it! It is a lot of fun! I was very impressed with the quality. Looking forward to lots of fun on the lake this summer.

[@LiftFoils]

thank you for your kind words and support! Keep enjoying :)

How does it deal with seaweed?? I would be a primarily lake rider if i got one.

[@jeromedayton2558]

One correction on physics. Initiating a turn does NOT reduce the wing surface area. What does happen during a turn is you are generating centrifugal force which increases the down force (perceived weight of the rider). This force must be overcome by more lift, therefore more throttle.

[@joehart3481]

Thanks for clarifying!

[@JMGENTERPRISES]

Has anyone tried laying down horizontally on the board while on the foil? I would think that would be pretty cool and feel like your flying!

[@mrjekarpa]

You need to be able to shift your weight forward and backward to adjust your flight height - this is not possible when you lay flat on the board.

Great video! Amazing tips!

[@Nick-Nasty]

I'm really curious how dangerous seaweed is for Efoiling. Most of the lakes near me have patches of seeweed here and there. I live far from the ocean.

[@mikeb1039]

I've ridden in some lake weeded places and if it's really thick it will get in the prop and slow the board way down. You have to flip the board over and clear it. In not so thick places the wing/mast at any speed just cuts threw them.

[@property_ca]

Once you are on a wave can you release the throttle and ride the wave or does the resistance of the motor require constant throttle?

[@PeterCacioppi]

Thats a great question, same thought I had.

[@property_ca]

great minds think alike (-:

[@PeterCacioppi]

I'd guess the propeller can spin freely if the motor is turned off, or if the wave is pushing you faster then the motor setting. Most electric fans will spin if you sit them out in a breeze, for example. This would be easy to determine if you any of the eFoil owners are here (there's not too many of them, but they exist).

[@REALmattnuzzo]

they use a folding prop for surfing. no prop guard too. reduces drag. it takes about 2 minutes to change it out. watched nick in some big surf ripping turns and then motoring out the back to get another one. respect.@@PeterCacioppi

[@JetSurfingNation]

Great tips!

[@1nesun1]

What an awesome board. I wonder if it will ever become affordable?

[@kenmexplaya]

I agree. I would buy but I can get a wave runner for the same price and put someone on the back. Try not to smile when on a wave runner!!

[@Kurtations]

Yea, but wave runners are gay.

[@kenmexplaya]

@@Kurtationsi don't disagree but $12k is not cool for a motorized surf board

[@Achievly]

Only when one guy has another guy riding (with) him from behind ;)

[@toonybrain]

And someday the battery will be the size of a coin and weigh about an ounce… 🙂

[@Achievly]

I'm buying one the second you get the price point down to 3k or so. I went on the site to impulse buy one but it's nearly the price of a Sea-Doo?? Also would be cool if you sell add-on batteries so I can swap a dead one out for a fully charged one at the beach for a full day of fun :)

[@PeterCacioppi]

Pretty sure they do sell the replacement batteries.

[@jamesdeininger3759]

They sell replacement batteries for $3k each. If you want a jet ski, then buy a jet ski. This is bleeding edge tech. If the cost is prohibitive, then I promise it’s not for you. Don’t buy a boat or a plane either - You’ll spend $5k-$10k/yr on oil changes and regular maintenance.

[@Kaskuvlog]

A my new dream. But not on my wallet and not in my country yet. :/ I have to wait a little longer :)

[@jianguochen4662]

可以買嗎？台灣可以送嗎？

[@badabamamm2652]

I would imideathly buy one, if there would be an option, to pay the big price over months and not directly. 12-14 thousand is a bit heavy without an credit some of us.

[@LiftFoils]

Hello Badabam, we actually offer financing in the U.S. or if you have a SSN. We have a 6 or 12-month financing plan with no interest; or a 24-month financing plan with a small fee.

[@badabamamm2652]

@@LiftFoils unfortunatly i am not living in the US, but what is a SSN? But that sounds much more possible :).

[@LiftFoils]

@@badabamamm2652 I am so sorry to hear that :( hopefully, we can expand our financing programs soon. The SSN is a 9-digit number issued to American Citizens and Residents!

[@badabamamm2652]

@@LiftFoils thank you for all the Informations! Next year at April i will have enough payment for one :). I can't wait and i am endless excited!

[@LiftFoils]

@@badabamamm2652 thank you for your kind words and support :) we really appreciate it !

[@laurentlemaire6167]

why doing the same error than at the bigining of aeronautic... using an négative portance on one off the both wings... juste put the small one forward with positive portance and large one behind with positive one also !!!?? should be easier to do it fly..(sorry for my pour english 'i'm french) Don't say thank you, juste send me one when you will win money with that patent=))

[@wetdreamstravel1865]

Aeronautical Dynamics a d hydrodynamics are not the same. Also for your theory to work the speed would have to be much greater for control and sttability. The efoil does not need to go so fast.

[@MashiroShiina]

so has someone already bought one? lol

[@LiftFoils]

Hi Mashiro! Thanks for watching our video! Currently, there are over 500 happy owners of a LIFT eFoil and we truly hope someday you become part of the LIFT community! Have a great week!

[@Nonogrow420]

Fukin awesome, 61 just got mine...skier, boarder and now this SICK mofo ride....highly recommend👍💪🍺💪👍👍👍🤣😝😝🏂
