An eFoil (electric hydrofoil) is a surfboard powered by a quiet electric motor and a hydrofoil beneath the board. As you gain speed, the board lifts above the water surface, giving you a smooth, flying sensation.
Not at all! eFoils are suitable for beginners. We recommend starting with one of our eFoil lesson vouchers so you can learn safely with a qualified instructor before buying your own board.
Yes, we offer delivery to all mainland UK addresses. Free shipping is available on qualifying orders over £500. Contact us for international shipping enquiries.
Most eFoil batteries last between 60 to 120 minutes on a single charge, depending on rider weight, speed setting, and water conditions. We recommend starting on a lower power setting to extend your ride time.
Most eFoils can reach speeds of 25–35 mph (40–56 km/h), though beginners typically ride at much lower speeds. The LIFT eFoils we stock have adjustable speed settings so you can ride at a pace you’re comfortable with.
Yes, when used responsibly. We recommend always wearing a helmet and impact vest, riding in open water away from swimmers, and starting with a lesson. All our eFoils come with safety cut-off features that stop the motor if you fall off.
We stock leading brands including LIFT eFoils (LIFT3, LIFT4, LIFT5, and LIFTx), as well as a wide range of wetsuits, SUPs, surf foils, and accessories from top watersports manufacturers.

Our support team is available Monday to Friday, 8am–8pm. Reach us by email at info@ukefoils.co.uk or by phone. We also offer spare parts and replacement components for most eFoil models.
After every session, rinse your eFoil with fresh water to remove salt and debris. Store the battery in a cool, dry place and charge it to around 50% if storing long-term. We stock all the replacement parts and accessories you need to keep your board in top condition.
eFoils are generally recommended for riders aged 16 and above due to the power and speed involved. However, we do stock beginner-friendly SUPs, skimboards, and bodyboards that are perfect for younger riders who want to enjoy the water.
