Tucker is joined by Adam Bennetts from FLITElab to walk through some of the FLITElab wings and how they apply to your Fliteboard experience. These are the surf and prone foils that, with the newest generation, feature the same conical fit as the Fliteboard eFoils. That plug-and-play compatibility is a great way to unlock the next level of performance, speed, and maneuverability for riders who are ready for it. Interchangeable Wing Systems The cool thing about the Fliteboard and FLITElab system …

Tucker is out on the water in Grand Haven, Michigan, with Adam Bennetts from FLITElab. With no lake waves to surf, they took the new FLITElab gear behind the boat for some wakefoiling. Adam's First Impressions Behind the Boat This was only the second time Adam has been behind a boat and his first time on the FLITElab gear. He was riding his signature FLUX 808 AB with the short fuse, the 125 stab, and the 82 mast on the 4'0" AB RAW board. The 808 is designed for intermediate to advanced riders …

Tucker is joined by Adam Bennetts from FLITELab to answer a common question: once you've picked your front wing, discipline, and board, how do you choose the appropriate stabilizer and fuselage in the FLITELab FLUX system? FLITELab FLUX Foil Setups Based on Discipline Below are Adam's recommendations and his personal riding style for the FLITELab FLUX: Surf Foiling Setup For surf foiling, Adam rides the 707 front wing with a short fuselage and a 125 stabilizer. He pairs this with a 4'0" Raw bo …

Tucker took a break from his normal wing and parawing foil testing to talk about some new apparel with cool applications for foilers: the new ION Surf Shield Wetshirt, also referred to as the Fearless Fiber jacket or sweater. Fearless Fiber Protection The standout feature of this water shirt is the special material called Fearless Fiber. It's cut-resistant to level 4, tested according to the European standard 388:2016. The material is designed to protect you from a sharp foil, a prop blade on …

The e-assist market has exploded over the last few years. What was once using motorized assistance to get into waves and swell has transformed to foiling without resistance. Now, Waydoo has a solution for the foil assist market. Waydoo has been around for a while producing eFoils, and we've been using them for quite some time — they make a great eFoil. The Foil Boost is the brand's entry into e-assist, with a motor mounted up closer to the board so you can power into a wave, ride around …

Eli walks through all the settings you'll find in your Waydoo EVO remote, from the basics of powering on to the deeper menus that personalize your ride. Navigating Your Waydoo EVO Remote Starting simple: power on. Just hold the power button and the remote will fire up. The main screen displays your speed (in either miles per hour or kilometers per hour), board battery level, remote battery level at the top, what gear you're in, and the board angle. This is universal across all EVO models &mdas …

If your Waydoo EVO remote trigger starts sticking or losing responsiveness, it’s usually not a major failure. In most cases, it’s just sand or debris working its way into the mechanism. We’ve seen this plenty of times after beach launches or setting the remote down in the wrong spot. The good news is you can fix it yourself in about 10 to 15 minutes with minimal tools. In this video, we break down how to fix a sticky or worn Waydoo remote trigger in just a few simple ste …

After a long winter, your eFoil might have sat untouched for a few months. Before you rush to the water on that first warm day, it's worth taking the time to go through a proper preseason check. We've done this routine every spring and it saves headaches when the wind is light and the water finally opens up. Eli walks through exactly how we prep our boards so they're clean, reliable, and ready to ride. First Thing: Take It Out of Storage If you think you'll be riding in the next couple of …

The most basic question we get when it comes to efoiling is, “Can I actually do this?” Short answer? Yes. Absolutely. Long answer? Well, that’s a little different. It can feel intimidating, but we find the learning curve is much shorter than most expect. We get this question nearly every week, and Eli and Kevin (Waydoo USA) are here to break it down. Who Can Learn to E-Foil? We’ve had customers ask us this question at every age, including an 85-year-old who picked …

If you’re shopping for an efoil, one of the hardest parts isn’t learning how to ride — it’s figuring out which setup makes the most sense for how and where you’ll actually foil. A pretty big misconception is that there’s one “best” efoil board setup for everyone. Even two experienced riders on the same brand will likely build their setup completely differently. One might want something lightweight for better maneuvering in swells while the o …

At MACkite, we love anything that will help us get up on foil. You've probably seen us gush about Foil Drive's mast-mounted propeller. Now there's an exciting new take on the foil assist concept: the FLITELab AMPJet. As you can probably guess, it uses a jet instead of a propeller, and it's lodged right inside the board for a completely clean and drag-free foil. Jeff caught up with creator Chris Reynolds at AWSI to chat about what the AMPJet is, who it's for, and what went into developing …

Introduction In this video, Jeff and Tucker share their first hands-on impressions of the FLITElab Flux foil lineup after riding multiple sizes across different conditions. The focus stays on how these foils actually feel on the water, how they compare within their own size range, and what kind of rider they make the most sense for—rather than leaning on marketing claims or spec sheets alone. Who This Product Is For The Flux series is clearly aimed at riders who already have solid foil …

Intuitive Power, Seamless Foiling, and a Glimpse Into the Future When Kai Lenny steps onto a new piece of foiling equipment for the first time, the feedback matters. As one of the most influential watermen of his generation, Kai’s opinions carry weight—not just because of his skill level, but because of his ability to immediately sense whether a piece of gear genuinely expands what’s possible on the water. In a recent first-ride session, Kai put the FLITElab AMP Jet board t …

Appletree Surfboards continues to lead the way in premium board technology, and one of their most overlooked yet powerful features is the NFC tag embedded directly into every board. Located at the leash plug, this tiny chip connects the physical board to its digital identity—giving riders ownership protection, transferability, and peace of mind. In a recent update, Mik from Appletree Surfboards reminded riders why scanning and registering their boards is an essential step. Whether you& …

As much as we’d all love to keep cruising all year, most of us eventually hit that point where the water turns slushy and the stoke has to wait for spring. If you’re getting ready to put your Waydoo away for a few months, a little prep work now will save you frustration, battery damage, and unnecessary service tickets down the road. This quick guide walks you through how we store our shop gear once the chill sets in, and what we recommend for every rider heading into winter. S …
