Comparing Fliteboard Models: Which is Right for You

E-foiling has changed the way people experience time on the water. And at the top of the movement sits Fliteboard, the leader in premium electric hydrofoils. Whether you’re carving glassy mornings on the lake or flying above the ocean, Fliteboard’s lineup offers something for every rider. 

If you’re thinking about getting your first e-Foil or upgrading to a higher-performance setup, this guide breaks down the different Fliteboard models, who they’re built for, and how to choose the one that fits your style. 

What Makes a Fliteboard Special? 

At its core, a Fliteboard is an electric-powered hydrofoil. Instead of relying on wind or waves, an e-Foil uses a battery and motor to lift the board above the surface of the water. The result is a smooth, silent ride that feels like flying. 

Fliteboard stands out because of its craftsmanship, software precision, and design. Every component from the carbon fiber mast to the hand-held controller is engineered for performance and reliability. Riders can mix and match boards, wings, and batteries to create a setup that matches their skill level and preferred riding style. 

The Fliteboard Lineup 

Fliteboard offers several models, each built with a unique rider in mind. From inflatable beginners’ boards to ultra-light carbon builds, every version balance stability, performance, and portability a little differently.

Flite Scooter — The Easiest Way to Learn to Fly 

New to eFoiling? Meet the Flite Scooter, Fliteboard’s most approachable and user-friendly model yet. Designed with an upright riding position and handlebar steering, the Flite Scooter removes the intimidation factor and gets you flying faster than ever. 

The wide inflatable board adds plenty of stability, while the adjustable handle gives you control and confidence as you learn. Riders can even remove the handle once they’re comfortable, transforming it into a traditional eFoil. 

This model is perfect for families and beginners who want to experience flight without needing to master balance right away. 

Why riders love it: 

• Easiest way to learn to foil 
• Upright stance and handle for better stability 
• Inflatable body for durability and storage ease 
• Same powerful Flite Jet propulsion system 
• Can convert into a handle-free eFoil as skills progress 

If you want to skip the learning curve and start flying on your first day, the Flite Scooter makes it possible. 

Fliteboard AIR — Forgiving, Fun, and Family-Friendly 

If you’re new to foiling, the Fliteboard AIR is the perfect place to start. Its inflatable construction makes it more buoyant and forgiving, which helps new riders get more comfortable faster. The soft-top surface is stable underfoot, and the extra volume keeps the board steady while learning to take off. 

The AIR is also a favorite for families and multi-rider households. It’s easy to share, transport, and store, all while maintaining Fliteboard’s premium ride quality. 

*Flite Air does not come with a board bag and is not compatible with the Explorer Battery 

Why riders love it: 

• Soft, stable, and beginner-friendly 
• Inflatable design for easy transport 
• Compatible with Flite Jet 2 propulsion 
• Ideal for calm lakes or resort waters 

If your goal is to learn the basics, share with friends, or enjoy a low-stress ride, the AIR is your best match. 

Fliteboard (Classic) — The All-Around Performer 

The original Fliteboard model is the all-rounder of the lineup. It delivers a smooth, responsive feel that’s approachable for beginners yet dynamic enough for experienced riders. 

This model features a rigid composite construction that provides excellent feedback and control. It balances stability and maneuverability, making it a great choice for riders who want a single board that can do it all. 

Why riders love it: 

• Perfect blend of performance and comfort

If you’re looking for your first “forever” board, the classic Fliteboard hits the sweet spot between ease and excitement. 

Fliteboard PRO — Agility Meets Precision 

The Fliteboard PRO is for riders who already have a feel for foiling and want something more agile. Its shorter, narrower design allows for quicker turns and more responsive handling — perfect for carving, freestyle riding, and tight maneuvers. 

With Flite’s Jet 2 propulsion system, the PRO delivers smoother power, higher efficiency, and quieter operation. You’ll feel an instant connection to the water with every lean and carve. 

Why riders love it: 

• Lightweight build for advanced control 
• Compatible with all Flitecell batteries and wing sets

If you’ve mastered the fundamentals and crave more agility, the PRO is your gateway to advanced foiling. 

Fliteboard ULTRA L2 — Built for the Bold 

For riders chasing the highest level of performance, there’s the Fliteboard ULTRA L2. It’s the lightest and most responsive model in the Flite lineup — designed for advanced riders who want to push limits, catch small waves, and experiment with freestyle tricks. 

The ULTRA L2 uses a reduced-volume carbon fiber hull that minimizes swing weight and maximizes control. Every movement feels precise. It’s built for riders who know how to manage speed, balance, and lift. 

*Not compatible with Explorer battery 

Why riders love it: 

• Extremely light and strong carbon construction 
• Designed for high-speed and dynamic carving 
• Streamlined for wave and surf performance 
• Minimalistic design for expert control 

This model is not for beginners, but if you want a board that responds instantly to your every move, the ULTRA L2 is unmatched. 

Carbon & Fiberglass Options — Build Your Perfect Setup 

Fliteboard takes customization seriously. Each model can be configured with different materials and propulsion systems depending on your goals. 

Carbon Series boards are ultra-light, rigid, and visually stunning — ideal for riders chasing the best of the best. Fiberglass builds offer a slightly heavier but more affordable option while maintaining excellent performance. 

You can also choose between propeller or jet propulsion. The Jet 2 system is smoother and quieter, while the propeller setup delivers a slightly longer ride time. 

Whether you choose the AIR for stability or the ULTRA for speed, Fliteboard’s modular ecosystem means you can swap wings, batteries, and propulsion systems as your skills evolve. 

Key Features That Set Fliteboard Apart 

No matter which model you choose, all Fliteboards share the same commitment to quality and innovation. Here are a few features that make them stand out: 

• Flite Controller – A Bluetooth handheld remote with a built-in display that shows speed, battery life, and ride data. 
• Flitecell Battery – High-performance lithium-ion battery options (Nano, Sport, and Explore ) with up to 120 minutes of ride time. 
• Smart Software – Adaptive motor control and intelligent safety systems for smooth starts and precision handling. 
• Wings for Every Style – Swap front wings and rear stabilizers to customize your ride style. 
• Quiet & Efficient Power – Flite Jet 2 and propeller options provide responsive, near-silent propulsion. 

Each component is built for longevity and serviceability, making Fliteboard a long-term investment for serious water lovers. 

How to Choose the Right Fliteboard for You Still deciding which model fits your lifestyle? Start by thinking about how you’ll use it most. 

Your Riding Style	Best Match	Why
First-time rider	Flite Scooter	Easiest learning curve and safest stance
Beginner	Fliteboard AIR	Stable, forgiving, and easy to transport
Beginner → Intermediate	Fliteboard (Classic)	Balanced all-around performance
Experienced rider	Fliteboard PRO	Agile and fast for carving or freestyle
Advanced / Wave rider	Fliteboard ULTRA L2	Lightweight and hyper-responsive
Premium collector	Carbon Series	Lightest, strongest build available

Consider your learning curve and riding environment. Calm inland lakes favor AIR and Scooter models. Coastal or rougher water riders will appreciate the PRO or ULTRA for their precision and speed. 

Battery & Range Considerations 

Fliteboard’s Flitecell batteries are a big part of what makes the system so versatile. There are three main options, and each one affects range and performance. 

• Flitecell Nano – Lightest battery, around 45 minutes of ride time 
• Flitecell Sport – Balanced weight and runtime, around 60–75 minutes 
• Flitecell Explore – Longest ride time (up to 120 minutes), ideal for cruising 

For most riders, the Sport battery offers the best combination of performance and duration. If you’re planning long lake sessions or sharing with friends, the Explore battery is worth the upgrade.
