Flite Air & Air Pro eFoil Reviewed in 2025

The New Fliteboard AIR and AIR PRO Make Flying Over Water Affordable

The latest offering from one of the most respected efoil players is the Fliteboard Air and the smaller Fliteboard Air Pro. It is very portable when deflated and, especially when paired with the Nano battery, it’s all packed up.

It’s an affordable efoil and compatible with the well-designed mast, wings and prop options in Flite’s quiver of excellent kit. That means it provides ample opportunities for upgrading to a more agile flight session.

Beginners will appreciate the AIR for good buoyancy and a forgiving surface that won’t bruise knees and elbows. The drop-stitch PVC inflates using a Boston valve pump and easily deflates too.

More importantly, the experience on the water makes standing up quite easy once a little speed is achieved. That also has advantages when lifting and touching down during learning. The only compromise of these boards is the extra flex in the nose that will slow it down when it hits the water.

For experienced riders seeking a more agile and dynamic experience, the Fliteboard AIR PRO is a lot of fun. We tested these boards with the founder and one of Flite’s test riders, who demonstrated wicked figure-8s.

At just 5’2″ long, it’s a fresh riding experience similar to the original Fliteboard Pro. This makes it ideal for carving turns, performing tricks, and opening up for another kind of fun once the limitations of a beginner setup begin to shackle too much.

Other Features of the AIR & AIR PRO

An APP harvests all the info that the onboard digitals collect. There’s an option to upload the ride logs so other Flite riders can see details of the sessions worldwide on a dynamic map.

With a NANO battery, ride time is diminished to around 45 minutes, but the weight advantage is great. Otherwise, the Explorer battery doubles time on water.

The controller must also be one of the better designs we’ve tried. Riders can use the trigger to control speed or the gears, using thumb to increase and decrease. This second method saves your fingers a bit of soreness on longer sessions.

An Efoil for the Masses

There are a lot of great design elements that make the experience on these boards worth the price tag. At less than half the price of premium boards compared to Flite’s competitors, it’s pretty compelling for a larger market.

That market includes yachters, resorts and the average fun-loving surfer. $7,000 might seem like a lot, but we’re impressed at how the AIR and AIR PRO are priced in the neighborhood of–albeit a bit more expensive–SiFly’s E and Waydoo’s Flyer One+.

With an inflatable efoil, portability is one advantage. It’s more forgiving on both body and boat, too. It does create extra drag before flight, but it also has more buoyancy. While the sum of this will end positively for beginners, looking at Flite’s expert tester also shows how much fun advanced riders will enjoy.

This is a fun board that should prove popular, offered by a company that will continue to do well while they keep executing like this on new models. With their new relationship with Brunswick Corp., we expect even better things to come.
