From the makers of the most expensive / powerful 'boutique' electric skateboard (more a mountain board really) on the market...

Not much info, but I guess this kinda sit's somewhere like a super sized Foil Drive with similar modularity - but not a fully fledged eFoil like Flite etc

A 1736wh battery is basically the same capacity of the FliteCell Sport which would have to weigh in at around ~10kg

I don't personally know anyone who rides AK mast outside of kiting so curious why they have chosen that as the base - must be hollow to run the cabling

Getting one from Canada would be North of $7k too

Was wondering when this type of concept was going to show up. I feel with the thrust from the motor and drag of getting up that it's going to certainly test some mast tracks out there!!

I'm in Canada and got excited about buying a Vortex. There is introductory pricing @ $1,000 off . I have Slingshot foils . Their adapters wouldn't be available until October .... so no go for me for this summer. I'm not going to buy AK foils just to buy a Vortex.

Holding out to buy a Lift efoil . I had an hour session . Got up knees and foiling . Really neat ! Several dunks in Lake Ontario mid June - Max 12 C .

Just threw down for a lift...it's a pretty sweet piece of kit. I remain hopeful to develop a DIY equivalent...but decided I didn't want to wait while figuring it out. Not getting any younger eh

I tend towards cheapest option, but here went for the best....quote from movie we are watching is fitting I think, "quality is remembered long after price is forgotten". I think Flite is the other equivalent.
