Lift Foils Unveils New LIFT5 and LIFTX
February 4, 2025 – Lift Foils, the global leader in eFoil and surf foil technology, is making waves in the Sierra Nevada with the launch of its most advanced products yet: the LIFT5 and LIFTX eFoils. These next-generation models are designed to revolutionize the foiling experience, blending cutting-edge engineering with surf-inspired design to create an exhilarating ride across the crystal-clear waters of Lake Tahoe, Lake Almanor, and other prime Sierra Nevada lakes.
Performance and Innovation Meet Sierra Waters
Foiling has rapidly gained popularity across the Sierra’s high-alpine lakes, where adventurers seek a quiet, smooth, and eco-friendly way to explore pristine waterways. The LIFT5 and LIFTX take this experience to the next level, offering unmatched efficiency, safety, and versatility for riders of all skill levels.
LIFT5: The Ultimate eFoil Experience
Designed for performance and ease of use, the LIFT5 redefines foiling technology:
- Streamlined for Smooth Rides: A lighter, redesigned board with a double concave bottom ensures effortless touchdowns and sharp, controlled turns—ideal for navigating the serene waters of Emerald Bay or the open stretches of June Lake.
- Quick & Easy Setup: The Lift Connect System (LCS) allows tool-free assembly for wings, mast, and propulsion, so you can hit the water in minutes.
- Wireless Connectivity & Smart Safety: Features like one-touch startup, an advanced double-walled battery, and real-time monitoring offer a seamless, worry-free experience on the water.
“The LIFT5 isn’t just an upgrade—it’s a breakthrough,” said Lift Foils Co-founder and CEO Nick Leason. “With our most refined design yet, this eFoil delivers the smoothest, quietest ride, perfect for exploring the hidden coves and expansive shores of the Sierra’s legendary lakes.”
LIFTX: A New Frontier in Water Sports
For riders looking to push boundaries, the LIFTX merges the agility of a surf foil with the power of an eFoil, making it perfect for Sierra adventurers who want to experience both electric-powered riding and wave-riding freedom.
- True Hybrid Performance: Seamlessly switch between powered gliding and traditional surf foiling—ideal for those tackling the boat wakes on Donner Lake or catching wind-driven swells on Caples Lake.
- Ultralight & Portable: Built with lightweight materials for easy transport and agility on the water.
- Designed for Surf-Inspired Riding: Created in collaboration with legendary surfboard shaper Sean Ordoñez, bringing a new level of performance to riders who crave versatility.
“The LIFTX is for those who want to explore beyond the shoreline,” said Leason. “Whether carving through glassy waters at dawn or chasing the wake of a boat at full speed, this model unlocks endless possibilities.”
Bringing Foiling to More Sierra Nevada Adventures
Foiling has grown beyond coastal surf spots and into mountain lakes, where its silent, emission-free ride appeals to nature lovers and water sports enthusiasts alike. Lift Foils has pioneered this movement, from launching the world’s first commercial eFoil to setting new industry standards with innovations like Quiet Ride Technology and tool-free battery integration.
