The company describes the ULTRA L as its most agile and responsive ride yet. Fliteboard CEO and product architect David Trewern spoke to the Series 3 range and the company\u2019s upgraded tech:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\" readability=\"11\">\n<p>A bold vision backed by relentless design and development created the first Fliteboard back in 2018. We continue to break new ground, and are proud to reveal the most sophisticated and innovative electric hydrofoil range on the market. Furthering the pursuit of the ultimate ride, Series 3 offers record-breaking developments with the world\u2019s lightest performance eFoil, lightest ever lithium-ion eFoil battery and the world\u2019s first interchangeable propulsion system. These advances will truly change the way we experience the water.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Lastly, Series 3 introduces a fiberglass range of eFoils available at lower price point, without compromising durability or performance.
