Lift | Experience the Power of Flight (vimeo.com)

Vimeo 5:33

As every other major water sports brand fixated on building surfboards, kite boards, and stand up paddle boards, Lift focused exclusively on hydrofoil technology and innovation. After almost a decade, [inventor] Nick laboriously positioned Lift as a leader in hydrofoil technology.

“Lift is a hydrofoil brand. We believe in the growth of the sport and the possibilities of making user-friendly hydrofoils for everyone.” said Nick. “And this is just the beginning. Hydrofoiling is literally taking off and we are continuing our commitment to new designs and experiences through foiling. Just wait to see what we have in store for you as you learn this new sport and grow with us.”

And we thought the Americas' Cup was hi tech :)

Looking on their facebook page which is linked in their site, almost every comment is relating to the price. Outrageously to high :groan:

One comment.
Innovation costs money. If you want to be an early adopter then step up and fund development. So basically they want everyone else to pay for their development ..... Yeah---Na !

1437348 2017-07-19 20:37:00 It looks like fun but a bit expensive for the general population. A lot more practical than the Martin Jet Pack though. CliveM (6007)
