Australia's Flite has announced its full 2024 range of eFoil boards, which includes a slender lightweight member of the pro-focused Ultra family. The Ultra L2 sports carbon components designed by Marc Newson, and a folding prop from Mercury Marine.

To hop on an eFoil from Australia's Fliteboard, you have to part with some serious coin. But the company is now offering a cheaper way to fly above the waves with the launch of the Flite Air electric foiling board.

Cyrusher has been on a mission to offer "quality bikes made in China to international markets at great prices" since 2014. Now the company is riding into the electric watersports space with the Thunder electric surfboard.

Scooters have become one of the most popular gadgets for watersport enthusiasts, and the latest out to do the paddling for you is a compact pocket rocket from Japanese makers Surando Tech. Despite its size, it punches above its weight in the water.

If you want decent range out of an electric watercraft, you need to eliminate drag – and that's the thinking behind the WaveFlyer Volaré, launching in Sydney this weekend. Smaller than some jet skis, it hovers over the water for a smooth, quiet ride.

Lift Foils has launched what's claimed to be the "most customizable, most powerful eFoil ever made." A new battery system can offer riders as much as 2.5 hours flying above the waves, and quietly zip them to a top speed of 30 mph.

Rather than having to buy both an eFoil and an electric surfboard for powered fun on the water, Austria's Scubajet has launched its new Performance Series with a single board that combines both.

Puerto Rican startup Lift has introduced its third-generation eFoil, offering customers a cheaper point of entry to the young but burgeoning watersport, along with a smoother ride courtesy of a redesigned fiberglass deck.

Swedish extreme electric surfboard maker Awake Boards has added a new premium electric surfboard to it award-winning range, which promises more power, faster acceleration and better response for sharper turns, higher jumps and faster rides.

Swedish outfit Radinn has added a third model to its lineup of electric wakeboards, which it describes as its sportiest and most durable yet, with a redesigned hull built to endure some heavy knocks and a quad-fin setup to customize your ride.

Sweden's Awake Boards launched its 35 mph Rävik premium electric surfboard in 2018, and has now announced the second generation ride at Boot Düsseldorf last week – the Rävik S.

The latest electric hydrofoil board comes from a rather unexpected source: Audi. The company's e-tron program makes a move off land, spawning a vehicle that floats riders through air as it zips across water at speeds up to 27 mph (43 km/h).
