Lift Foils debuts easier, lower-cost LIFT3 F eFoil

Lift Foils updated its LIFT3 F platform with rider-friendly changes that aim to lower the barrier to e-foiling while improving on-water comfort. The refresh centers on stability and smoother flight characteristics, targeting newer riders and families who want a predictable learning curve without the flagship price tag.

The hardware updates are specific and practical. Two new colorways, Iceberg Blue and Sunset Peach, broaden visual options. Lift swapped to a fiber reinforced polymer propeller, a change meant to improve propulsion efficiency, cut drag and damp vibration—factors that directly affect handling, board feedback and perceived harshness when you first start flying. For riders who want a durable, lower-cost alternative to the carbon mast, Lift added a precision-machined aluminum mast option alongside the existing carbon offering. Pricing also shifted downward: an example configuration with a Light Battery was cited around $8,995, positioning the LIFT3 F as a more affordable entry point for families and lesson programs.

Why this matters now is straightforward. Easier, smoother ride characteristics speed the progression from tentative minutes on the foil to sustained up-and-flying sessions. Reduced vibration from the new FRP propeller not only feels better but reduces the fiddly, confidence-killing chatter that can unsettle a new rider mid-flight. An aluminum mast gives shops and rental programs a lower-cost, tough option that stands up to repeated use and reduces total cost of ownership.

For anyone shopping or running lessons, the changes change buying calculus. Verify battery options and expected flight time for the Light Battery configuration to match your local conditions and weight classes. Inspect the FRP propeller for compatibility with existing spares and consider demoing both mast options to feel the handling differences for yourself. If you run classes, the lower entry price and a more forgiving setup make it easier to stock a beginner board, scale lesson pricing and lower risk for parents testing the sport for the first time.

Our two cents? If you are new to e-foiling or managing a family set of gear, this update is worth a demo ride: cleaner propulsion and a stable flight profile mean faster learning and fewer early scuffs. Verify battery and setup choices, and pick the mast that fits your program or paddock.
