10 Best Efoil Boards in 2023 | Complete Buyer’s Guide

Waydoo arrived on the electric board scene at a time when excitement for eFoils met with disappointment–they were all crazy expensive. The Flyer One+ continues Waydoo’s success in providing an eFoil at a little more than half the price of similar platforms.

We tested the EPP version of the Flyer One+ and experienced going from being cautious and critical about the product to being super stoked. The soft top, EPP model rather than the carbon version,  seemed somehow less dazzling.

But the EPP covering–like soft top surfboards–makes it very forgiving when learning the ropes. It also protects your car and house when moving or storing it.

At its current price, this is probably the eFoil with the best bang for the buck on the market right now.

See why we think that in our full review here:

The innovators and designers at Lift created one of the most simple, easy, and beginner-friendly eFoils on the market. The Lift 3 eFoil may be the best beginner board for all riders.

Its the larger of Lift’s Series 3 boards with a volume of 88 liters that gives riders a steady platform to get used to while navigating the learning curve of eFoiling. The Series 3 costs significantly less than the 4th gen board, the main difference being less flying time.

Customizing the Lift 3 to match the skills of the rider as they grow is also a major upside that Lift has made possible, with easily changeable wings and propellers.

The Awake Vinga 3 is an eFoil experience that combines high performance and a beginner-friendly learning curve. It delivers one of the best-in-class jet-propelled eFoil boards on the market. It’s got the biggest sized jet engine, which offers specific benefits and is the easiest to assemble.

It’s also almost alone in requiring a leash for riding.

The quick assembly is made possible by its complete click-to-ride system to its ride time of 80 – 120 minutes at speeds around 30 mph / 50 km h.

Riders of all levels–with the appropriate wings–will appreciate its smooth flight, reduced noise, and range of riding and customizing options. Awake has set a new pace for the eFoil market with its Awake Vinga 3 eFoil board.

The Series 3 eFoil boards from Fliteboard, which includes the all round Fliteboard 3, demonstrates the culmination of the best aspects premium eFoils have to offer today.

The dual drive propulsion option, switching between jet and propeller highlights the modularity that we’re seeing with some other electric PWCs and presents pros and cons for specific riders. In particular when choosing the different board and battery options.

Compared to the best eFoils on the market, the Fliteboard 3 deserves pride of place at the top by continually improving the product in ways that directly benefit rider experience for both the novice and seasoned efoiler.
