This family-owned company combines Rhino 3D modeling, advanced technology, and a passion for adventure to create a new era of aquatic excitement.

Lift Foils prioritizes precision manufacturing alongside design, utilizing the RhinoCAM plugin to translate digital designs into hydrofoil surfboards seamlessly. Lift Foils maintains its commitment to excellence with Rhino’s dynamic modeling and RhinoCAM’s precision.

ELEVATING WATER THRILLS

At the heart of Lift Foils’ philosophy lies the responsibility to deliver an unparalleled experience on the water. Nick Leason encapsulates this sentiment: “Lift is a company dedicated to building powered and nonpowered hydrofoil surfboards. Lift Foils uses high-tech lithium battery packs and carbon fiber hydrofoils to create a flying sensation over water.”

Lift Foils revolutionizes water sports with innovative lithium battery packs and carbon fiber hydrofoils, taking riders to new heights. Their hydrofoil design allows individuals to effortlessly glide atop the water, evoking a sensation akin to flight. It embodies technology, engineering, and the joy of the ocean’s embrace.

Nick’s vision for the eFoil was a breakthrough moment, combining technology from smartphones, electric vehicles, and drones to create a board that defied gravity, allowing riders to effortlessly glide above the water’s surface.

The eFoil’s viral reception fueled years of rigorous research, development, and engineering, and today, Lift Foils proudly ships thousands of eFoils worldwide, a testament to their dedication to pushing boundaries.
