Aguadilla, Puerto Rico (April 28, 2025) – Lift Foils, the pioneer of the eFoil category and a leader in performance foiling equipment, has begun shipping its newest flagship products: LIFT5 and LIFTX. After months of anticipation and a successful preorder window, both platforms are now arriving in the hands of riders around the world.
This new lineup brings two distinct ride experiences, both powered by a single, completely redesigned platform. The new core architecture features the Lift Connect System (LCS) for tool-free assembly, the advanced Gen5 Battery, and upgraded wireless electronics for a seamless setup and reliability across both models. One platform, two paths—choose LIFT5 for premium eFoil performance, or LIFTX for the ultimate in hybrid versatility and surf-inspired adventure.
LIFT5: Precision Made Simple
LIFT5 introduces a smarter, more tactile eFoil system engineered to reduce friction at every step. The Gen5 Battery locks in with a secure, one-motion drop. The propulsion system connects with a clean, mechanical click. And a single button powers the board. Everything is designed to feel solid in hand and seamless on the water. “We built LIFT5 to eliminate friction,” said Nick Leason, Lift Foils Founder and CEO. “Setup is faster. Connections feel solid. It’s intuitive and it delivers a user-friendly experience you can rely on. You feel the engineering in every interaction, even before you get on foil.”
With refined board shapes and updated accessories, LIFT5 delivers a premium riding experience that’s easy to access and built to last. Whether it’s your first ride or your hundredth session, everything about LIFT5 is designed to elevate confidence, comfort, and control.
LIFTX: A Surf Foil With Power
LIFTX merges the compact agility of a surf foil with the power of an eFoil to create a new category of ride. Designed for downwinders, open ocean exploration, and surf-focused progression, LIFTX allows riders to power out, cut the motor, and ride clean. “LIFTX gives you access—plain and simple,” said Leason. “You can position yourself exactly where you want to be, ride off throttle, and flow through the open ocean. It’s not just a powered foil, it’s a tool to learn, to explore, and to unlock sessions that wouldn’t otherwise happen.”
Built with a lightweight frame and modular propulsion system—including a low-mounted folding prop—LIFTX delivers seamless transitions between powered flight and pure foil performance. It’s ideal for riders chasing swell, exploring new terrain, or pushing what’s possible in the surf.
LIFT5 and LIFTX mark the beginning of a new product cycle for Lift Foils, shaped by real-world rider feedback, surf-inspired design, and a continued commitment to innovation. Each platform includes a full suite of upgrades, from redesigned board bags and one-button startup to next-gen batteries and seamless propulsion swaps. Both platforms are now shipping globally through liftfoils.com and Lift’s worldwide dealer network.
