SiFly Rider eFoil Reviewed in 2025

What’s New for 2025?

The standout addition is the V3 mast, featuring a movable rear stabilizer that transforms the Rider into a truly modular efoil platform. With three adjustable positions—Comfort, Middle, and Performance—you can shift the stabilizer forward or back to tune the board’s responsiveness and stability. For absolute beginners, the Comfort setting provides maximum stability. As you gain confidence, shifting toward the Performance setting gives you a sportier, more agile ride. It’s a mechanical solution that grows with the rider.

The quick-mount system is another major highlight. With no tools or screws required, you can attach or detach the mast and wings in under 20 seconds. It’s an ideal feature for anyone who can’t store a fully assembled board or wants to hit the water with minimal prep time. While it’s a $1,000 upgrade, the convenience it offers makes it a compelling addition—especially for frequent riders.

Also new is the EasyGo stabilizer, a training wing that keeps the nose down and prevents breaching during the learning phase. Paired with the optional Floaty (an inflatable pontoon that adds 50L of buoyancy), these accessories make the Rider and Rider Plus some of the easiest efoils to learn on.

Two Sizes, One Goal: Progression

The Rider comes in two volumes: the 110L Rider and the 130L Rider Plus. The smaller 110L version is best suited for average-weight riders looking for a balance of agility and stability. The 130L Rider Plus is better for heavier riders or absolute beginners who need more help getting started. For efoil schools or group sharing, the Plus model makes a lot of sense.

Over the course of our five-day test session, we saw firsthand how the board performed for riders of different skill levels. We even had team members revisit the 110L model they’d learned on years ago—now updated with the V3 mast—and found it more responsive yet still forgiving enough for first-timers.

SiFly Rider vs The Competition

Compared to other beginner-focused efoils like the Waydoo Flyer EVO Pro Plus, the SiFly Rider takes a more hands-on approach. The Waydoo uses onboard sensors and software to manage lift and balance.

SiFly gives the rider full mechanical control over performance, allowing for a more tailored experience. If you want a board that offers different rider profiles without switching wings, the Rider is unmatched in this segment.

The Rider’s base price starts at $5,500, making it a great value, especially when compared to the EVO Pro Plus at $6,400. Adding the quick-mount brings the price closer to parity, but with features like the movable stabilizer and training wings, the SiFly platform feels more flexible overall.

Final Thoughts

The latest SiFly Rider is not just an update—it’s a significant leap forward. Thanks to the V3 mast, the quick-mount system, and optional accessories that make learning easier, this board is ready to support your entire efoiling journey. Whether you’re just getting your feet wet or pushing into carving and wave play, the Rider grows with you.

If you’re looking for a beginner efoil that won’t hold you back as you improve, the new SiFly Rider should be at the top of your list.
