The Flitescooter is an easy-to-use eFoil meant to introduce newcomers to the niche sport. It’s fun to ride, but staying in control takes some practice.
I don’t know what part of the board hit me this time. It’s hard to keep track of which fall has whacked which body part. I float for a moment, panting, hand bleeding, toes, knees, and elbows bruised. Then all I want to do is pull myself back up on the board again. The appeal of an eFoil is probably obvious: It’s a small, self-contained watercraft similar to a short surfboard, but with an electric hydrofoil underneath that propels you at up to 30 mph.
During my 80-ish-minute session on the Flitescooter, I only once managed to stay up more than 30 seconds after it got up to speed. It’s a glorious feeling once you get the hang of it, and every time I fell I wanted to climb back aboard and give it another shot. Humping the Pole Another obstacle, counterintuitive though it may seem, is the control pole. Toward the front center of the board is a slot where you can fasten the aforementioned pole with a set of handlebars.
