I’ve been deep in eFoil racing this year. The speeds the top guys put down still look wrong until you watch a heat.

The main stage is the SFT (Surf Foil World Tour). That’s where official world champions get crowned across every non-wind foilsurf discipline. Their intro film is about 24 minutes. Start here on YouTube.

Local note: World Tour Manager Tom Hartmann and CEO Jorgen Vogt live in Mauritius. Same island, same water. They get why this place is built for efoiling.

August is also offer month. Lift or Flite: upgrade your setup, or pull a friend into OceanFlyer life, and you walk away with extras worth about Rs 50k on top.

Lift Europe is stacking podiums. Manel sits #1

Manel Arpa is the ranking leader right now, and the Lift Europe crew isn’t easing off. They cut a ~3 minute look at the season so far from their side of the buoy line.

Same family of boards the #1 team is on

LIFT5 is the current full efoil line: LCS, drop-in battery, quiet power. LIFTX is the hybrid path: motor out, cut, then ride like a surf foil. Ask what’s available on island right now.

  • LIFT5 from Rs 749,000 (Pro · Sport · Cruiser)
  • LIFTX from Rs 709,000 (hybrid surf-foil)

Justin Chait is still in the fight for #1

Justin Chait took the 2025 world title, and for 2026 he is on Flite’s RACE, the board built for that kind of racing. Manel Arpa holds the #1 ranking for now, but Justin is right there with him, and there are still stops left on the calendar. That duel is what the rest of the season is about.
