Description
Lift Foils LIFT 5 eFoil
The Lift LIFT 5 eFoil is the latest generation of Lift’s high-performance electric hydrofoil system, designed to deliver a smooth, quiet and highly controlled riding experience across a wide range of conditions. Built on the modular LCS ecosystem, it combines refined carbon board shapes with Lift’s direct-drive propulsion technology for maximum efficiency, responsiveness and progression potential.
The LIFT 5 range focuses on stability, control and performance refinement. Both the 4’9 and 5’4 share the same core platform and technology, but are tuned for different rider profiles and water conditions. The 4’9 is more compact and responsive, offering quicker rail-to-rail transitions and a more direct feel underfoot. The 5’4 provides additional volume and length, making it more stable, easier for take-offs, and more forgiving in choppy water or for heavier riders.
Both boards feature a refined hull design with improved water release, smoother lift and better control during transitions. Combined with Lift’s silent direct-drive propulsion system and Gen5 battery, the LIFT 5 delivers consistent, efficient power with up to 90 minutes of ride time depending on conditions.
Whether you’re progressing from your first flights or pushing high-speed carving and freeride sessions, the LIFT 5 offers a balanced platform that adapts to your level and riding style.
Difference between 4’9 and 5’4
The 4’9 Sport is more compact and responsive, making it feel quicker from rail to rail with a more direct connection to the foil. It is better suited for riders who already have control and want a more playful, dynamic ride with faster transitions.
The 5’4 Cruiser offers more volume and length, which translates into easier take-offs, improved stability and more forgiveness in chop or during longer sessions. It is the better choice for heavier riders or those prioritizing comfort and consistency over maximum responsiveness.
In short:
-
4’9 = more agile, direct and performance-oriented
-
5’4 = more stable, easier and more forgiving
