Fliteboard reveals full 2024 range
Fliteboard, a brand of Mercury Marine and a leader in the e-foil industry, has revealed its 2024 product range, which includes the fourth generation of Fliteboard and Fliteboard Pro.
Flite, based in Byron Bay in Australia, is a developer and manufacturer of electric foiling water vehicles.
The Fliteboard and Fliteboard Pro feature new options including a high performance aluminium e-foil propulsion system with titanium conical wing interface, a Marc Newson-designed hand controller with a larger and brighter colour screen, and a durable soft top EVA board range.
Fliteboard has also announced the all-new Ultra L2, which it claims is the the world’s lightest production performance e-foil designed for the most advanced riders.
These new additions join Flite Air and AIR Pro, launched in February at the Miami International Boat Show, the ultra premium Marc Newson range, displayed at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas in January, the new FLITELab* surf range, and the Flitescooter.
“Every year since we announced the original Fliteboard in 2017, we’ve brought new, industry leading innovations to the world. We have gone all out for 2024 to complete the roll-out of our four-year product vision. The 2024 Flite range offers amazing ways to fly over water for everyone from beginner to pro; at both accessible and premium price points – all part of a modular ecosystem,” said David Trewern, Fliteboard CEO and founder. “These new products leverage the award winning and celebrated Flite architecture which comprises Flitecell, Flitebox, Virtual gears, Unibody fuselage, Flite App, and Flite Jet.”
Fourth generation Fliteboard and Fliteboard Pro
Flite’s core carbon and fiberglass boards enter their fourth generation, offering an optional new performance aluminum e-foil that includes new titanium wing interface for reduced drag, and an all-new performance wing range. Riders can also upgrade to the Marc Newson designed carbon fibre mast and colour screen hand controller with a new shape and an interface dedicated to wave riding. The fiberglass range will be available in the new Yuzu shade.
Flite also a soft top EVA for Fliteboard and Fliteboard Pro models. According to Flite, the cushioned top layer offers a platform for beginners to comfortably grip the board with the extra durability making it ideal for launching from boats, jetties and docks.
Ultra L2
The ULTRA L2 is claimed to be the world’s lightest production performance e-foil weighing in at approximately 18.3kg – nearly half the weight of Flite’s first e-foil launched in 2018. The board will feature the new carbon fibre Marc Newson-designed mast and Marc Newson-designed hand controller, which provides more ergonomic and intuitive usability, and a new wave tracking feature. The board’s narrower shape provides ultimate manoeuvrability and a responsive feel, and its efficient folding prop designed by Mercury Marine automatically streamlines to surf waves unpowered. To create the lightest board possible, the battery box has been reduced and will be exclusively compatible with Flite’s Sport and Nano batteries.
These new releases join the recently launched Flite Air and Flite AIR Pro boards and FLITELab* range to complete the full product range for 2024.
The Fliteboard community continues to grow at a rapid rate as nearly 11,000 Fliteboards have been sold in over 90 countries; feeling the amazing sense of freedom and flow that comes with riding on clean, quiet electric power.
