Nice work, great energy! Keep riding!
Thank you fellow JetSurf Experts. Love your guys' content.
Best,
Tim & John
really good presentation, thank you
Thank you so much DLL -- hope you got your foil setup sorted!
Best,
Tim
I would get the flits board just because the prop is so much more further down in the water. I rode foils and I like to be high on the foil and I hated it when the prop breached I felt like I was barly up. Just my 2 cents
Thank you Russkielol for your comment and for checking out our videos. Keep having a great time on the water.
Best,
Tim
Would love to see a video of the best combination of wings for either the best battery life or the furthest distance
Detron - that's a great call. We'll put that on the list.
Cheers,
Tim
You should not swap wings between powered and non-powered foils. EFoils are much heavier than non-powered, so they require special wings for the best ride and efficiency.
Thanks Fluterra - However - that's inaccurate. The Lift efoils are ridden with standard Lift foils that are used for non powered (wake, wing, surf). You can freely swap.

Easy decision….. lift. Nothing comes close. I own the the 4’2 and the 4’9 lift 3, 32 inch mast. My brother and I both prefer the 4’2 pro. (I’m 6’3” 215 lbs and he is 6’2” 235lbs) If you have surf and board sport skills don’t worry about going small. My brother at 235 actually wants something smaller lol. For the lift HA wings 32 tail feels to small… recommend the 38 or bigger for better pitch stability. . We do not recommend the 28 inch mast, 32 inch is so much better for carving turns. I don’t think lift should even make the 28 inch mast anymore IMO. Keep those batteries out of the Sun and your good.
Thanks for the perspective Methane Springs and thank you for checking out our video. That's impressive, we've had issues with larger guys sinking the small board which affects the bluetooth -- so it's great to hear that you have it figured out. Keep shredding!

Tim
Where can I find the Armstrong--Lift fuselage adapter? I only found the tail adapters. Great video. Lift rulez (I have 2 of them…)
Hi Meshmellow -- Jim Stringfellow is your guy @stringy on instagram.
On the Lift, can you use the foils on another board like a Wingfoil board?
Hi Jake -- Yes -- If you have a Lift eFoil -- you can buy a second mast (non powered) and attached the same foils (front wing, back wing) to that mast for wake, prone, or wing foiling. Don't hesitate to give us a call with questions (909) 698-0401.

Is the Foil brand board less buoyant than the Lift? I had ridden a few left boards and then purchased a flight board in the longer version actually. When I’m in the water starting a ride, it seems too much more easily submerge than the lift did. I’m wondering if that’s your experience?
It’s a little concerning because there’s specific instructions are to make sure that the battery door does not get submerged, but I find that nearly impossible
I've found that the boards of similar size (length) are pretty close in volume - so float me about the same. In a perfect world the battery door would be dry but that's impossible and both companies know it. I don't typically sit for long period on the board in the water while not moving (surf style submersion) but haven't had any trouble with the Lift. I ride the Lift a lot more often the the Fliteboard because we're a dealer and own them. The Lift has a foal sealer around the inside of the battery compartment. So long as you take good care of it it will keep the water out. It's also pretty easy to replace.
Have fun and thank you for checking out the video!
does it fit on the back of a normal car ? or do you have to re assemble it every time ?
If you have an SUV - it may fit fully built depending upon model. For smaller cars you'll need to at a minimum take the mast off. It's pretty quick - four screws. This applies to both Lift and Fliteboard.
If you are going to take a lift board and make it non powered, are you removing battery if riding behind a boat, to make it lighter?
It's not something you'd do. What you can do is get a second board designed for wake AND a non power based mast. Then you can use the same fuselage, front and back foil. Sorry if that wasn't clear.
Best,
Tim
Hahaha, it’s funny to watch the Lift dealer try to downplay the “minor refinements” of the Fliteboard. If Lift were half the price, I would say OK, but at the same price, I don’t know why anyone would buy a Lift board.
Haha indeed Fluterra -- Have you ridden them both? Have you put Armstrong foils on them - have you ridden them in the ocean? Fliteboard is a great product. As is Lift.
Thank you for watching.

@@HALFLIFEVIDEOI own 2 Fliteboards. I would not buy LIFT even if it were the only product available. Don’t like the design, cooling hoses, etc.
Crazy prices
They really are -- we have a couple used ones that will save you some $$$.

Lift looks like it’s a decade old
Hmmmm - so back in 2013 you were flying on a eFoil. Hahaha. Two great products and both a lot of fun.
Best,
The Half-Life Crew
@@HALFLIFEVIDEONo, and that’s the point! The LIFT looks so outdated and poorly designed in comparison to Flite, it’s AS IF the LIFT is a decade or more behind.
