I'll be looking for a Fliteboard because of the superior quality and support. There is a Flightschool down here in San Diego and they deduct the cost of a lesson, $300, from the bottom line when you buy a new setup.
Most Fliteschools will deduct the cost of a lesson from the purchase price. We really encourage people to take a lesson and try it out before committing 10k+ on a set up! 🤙
AS a beginner flite board owner, I have a few comments.. I took a lesson and was not allowed to use my fliteboard in the private lake.. They let me use a Lift board and I did not notice a significant difference on either board.. My second comment is the $6,995 entry level board. How much time will a beginner rider who weighs around 200 pounds get with the Nano battery?? Maybe 20 minutes ,, because I have almost 10 hours and I get just a little bit more than 1 hour on my explorer battery.
That's a bummer about not being able to ride your Flite, but it is a private lake so you have to follow their rules. It's hard to say what ride time you'll get as there are lot's of factors other than your weight that dictate your ride time (speed, water conditions, wing selection, # of falls in your session ect). As far as noticable differences between brands for a beginner it's hard to tell as it all a new sensation, but when you have 100's hours logged things like weight difference, mast height, and motor placement are VERY noticeable. Especially if you are seeking the highest performance elite experience, Flite is the way to go. Feel free if you have more questions call or text us 415-295-2925 or email info@bayfoils.com.
@@sh5465 high powered electric vehicles (EVs) are not cheap. Neither are marine products. Efoils are in the venn diagram of both, plus do you really want a manufacturer to cut corners on quality to save you money? Lithium ion batteries and water can be very dangerous if not handled with the upmost attention to quality control.
Hi I’m looking into or interested in purchasing an efoil but the prices are something I’m not able to afford and saw a company Xfoil. And looks like something I’m probably maybe afford. What’s your thoughts of Xfoil? Mahalo.
There are always consequences with going with a cheaper alternative compared to a trusted brand. A flite air is only 7k which is really the best value on the market for performance and reliability. Unfortunately efoil are still a pay to play hobby (just like motorcycles or offroading) trying to pinch pennies will only cause problems in the long run when you have an issue. We've been working with flite for almost 4 years now and have always had the best experiences and easy problem solving.
@@BayFoils Hi but what are your thoughts on the Xfoil? It is developed by a company in Silicon Valley California PLX Devices inc. and the developer Paul Lowchareonkul an avid water person. In what I was watching the Xfoil videos they don’t look like a Penny Pinching Company. Lmk your input on the Xfoil.
