For years this was one of the closest races in eFoiling. In 2025,
there's a clear answer — and it might surprise long-time
Fliteboard fans. This episode gives E-SURFER's updated verdict
based on hands-on testing of the Fliteboard S5 and the new Lift5.

What this episode covers:

How the competitive landscape shifted after Brunswick
Corporation acquired Fliteboard in 2023

The Lift5's revolutionary quick-release system (LCS):
tool-free assembly in under one minute — a genuine industry first

The Lift Elite Remote's large display: why readable data in
bright sunlight matters for safety and ride quality

Post-acquisition Fliteboard: what changed in customer
support, and why mandatory annual servicing frustrates owners

Why Aerofoils has gained significant market share since 2022
and become E-SURFER's top-selling brand

Riding experience: both boards perform excellently on water —
but the ownership experience differs considerably

Who should still consider Fliteboard in 2025

Prices: Lift5 €16,149 · LIFTX €15,149 · Audi e-tron Foil
€14,269–€14,999 · Awake Vinga €16,649.

Verdict: Lift Foils wins in 2025 — for setup convenience,
controller usability, and reliable after-sales support.
