What a pleasure it is to announce this news in the service of excellence and a Lifestyle universe.
Flite now has more than 330 authorised partners selling our boards, Fliteschools across the world, and offices in three countries: Australia, The Netherlands and The United States. In 2021 Flite set records for the fastest eFoil speed in the world, and hosted the first official international eFoiling race – the Flite Cup. In 2022 Flite Ambassador Tom Court and big wave surfer Glyn Ovens used Flite’s eFoils to surf the biggest waves ever ridden (Nazaré) on an electric hydrofoil. Flite currently holds 10 patents and 4 registered designs, with more in the pipeline. We’ve released our most advanced series to date. Series 3 is lighter, safer, more responsive and more connected. Thanks to this announcement, Flite will continue to grow and go from strength to strength. Well done to both companies.
