About Fliteboard
From a spark of inspiration, to a globally recognised company producing the world's most highly-awarded electric hydrofoils, Flite has come a long way in a short time. Flite now has more than 200 authorised partners selling their boards, Fliteschools across the world, and offices in three countries: Australia, The Netherlands and The United States. The company includes Naval Architects, Product Designers, Mechanical, Electronic and Software Engineers; and is focused on the intersection between electric vehicle technology and hydrofoil design. The company’s origin, however, was far more whimsical. The idea for a motorised hydrofoil arrived on a windless day in 2016 as a 'lightbulb moment'.
Flite's founder, former kite-surfing world record holder and serial entrepreneur David Trewern, was at a kitefoiling event when he thought: ‘What if I didn’t have to wait for the wind, or for the swell to rise? What if I could just attach an electric motor to my foil?’ That dream became a sketch and the kitchen table, a workshop. The 3D printer went into overdrive and late nights became early mornings. Dozens of prototypes later, David took flight for the first time. "It was magical. The feeling of freedom was like nothing else." – David Trewern Flite's range of boards now includes Fliteboard, AIR, PRO and ULTRA, all electric powered hydrofoils of varying sizes, designed for different levels of experience and tastes. “The most incredible thing I have ever tried!” Jon Olsson, Freestyle Skiing World Champion Flite’s latest adventure is, of course, Series 2.2.
