Frequently asked questions:
General
Fliteboard is an electric powered hydrofoil, also known as an eFoil. Standing on the board, riders use a handheld Flite Controller to manage their speed. With a mast that is partially underwater, Fliteboarding gives you the feeling of freedom as you glide silently just above the water. Learn more about what a Fliteboard is here.
Fliteboard refers to the whole configuration of board, Flitecell (battery) and eFoil (propulsion unit). Technically, an eFoil refers to the mast / propulsion unit only. That said, many people refer to the setup as an eFoil and the sport as eFoiling. We also call it Fliteboarding.
Fliteboard is easy to learn. Even with no previous board sports experience, most people can learn in less than one hour. Lessons are available at your nearest Fliteschool or you can teach yourself using this tutorial.

Regulations vary from State to State and Country to Country. It is the responsibility of riders to be aware of and comply with regulations in their specific location. We do not recommend Fliteboard to be used by children under 16 years of age, subject to local laws and regulations. We also recommend adult supervision.
