- Benny breaks down what makes the Lift Foils Folding Prop experience unique on the Lift eFoil.
Our innovative folding propeller for the eFoil allows a rider to release the throttle and glide into the swells. The propeller’s two blades rapidly fold back, reducing drag through the water when no power is applied. The two-blade configuration is extremely efficient, and a favorite of serious eFoil riders.

Lift efoils engineering is so ahead of the game in this new technology over the last few years. Love how Nick is so invested to keep improving this product since it's has so much potential moving forward. Thanks for all your hard work guys so we can keep having fun on the water!
Awesome vid, thanks for showing what can be done with this beast of an efoil in waves! 🤙🏻
I’ve never wanted a product in my life like i want an e-foil.
Special edition!
Amazing
молодец! классно придумал!
why don't you mount the motor close to the board? Once you are up the motor would stay out of the water for surfing or pumping
TOP 💯
I've had my foldy for a year and I'm still struggling. Maybe it's because I live mostly on flat water.... maybe it's my constant face plants. I find myself switching back and forth between traditional and foldy
Would be nice if you could show us a one handed waterstart with the 4'2" board. I'm not talking about laying on the board either. I'm talking about being in the water holding the board with one hand on it's side with two feet on the board and powering up. Thanks
You just always keep pressing the controller button and soon as the board flat with the ocean surface you can start standing.
Get up on the board first with your knees but continue to keep the speed and then the left foot on the front of the board and sharply raise the back leg from the knee. I'm left-handed, so I get up first with my left foot, you can have your right foot in front, but the meaning is the same. the main thing, I’ll say it again, is to keep the speed and press the foot that is in front of the board down without letting it rise until you enter the glide
There is a lot of drag with the prop that really made it hard for me to feel what the wing is doing relative to a standard foil
That said I’ve only ridden the efoil a handful of times.
Clearly it’s possible to ride waves with the prop as this guy was able to. But I suspect you’ll need a higher energy swell relative to a standard propless foil.
That said, I like where this is going.
Efoils didn’t appeal to me as they seem pretty limited in surf.
If they can make this work, I’ll reconsider.
how much do you weigh? Considering the 150 surf wing also, but i'm around 175 180
You'll be fine. Benny probably a little lighter but the 150 surf will take you at 180.
I like how he is honest that he still using normal propeller on the flat water,because I think that folding propeller is useless if you aren't surfing waves....
