Flite and Axopar have entered a strategic collaboration to introduce a new kind of eFoiling experience. Developed for boaters who want to explore further, reach new locations, and add a new dimension of adventure to life on the water, the result is the Flite AIR x Axopar board. Prototype previewed for the first time at Boot Düsseldorf 2026, Flite AIR x Axopar board is a purpose-built evolution of the Flite AIR platform, combining refined design with boater-focused usability to integrate seamlessly with the Axopar experience.
A collaboration built on shared ambition
At the heart of the collaboration lies a shared vision: to create new adventures, attract new boaters, and inspire people to explore nature in ways they may not have experienced before. Both Axopar and Flite are driven by innovation, accessibility, and exploration, with a common ambition to expand how people experience life on water.
“Axopar has set the benchmark in adventure boats and Flite has been focused on pushing the boundaries of electric hydrofoiling performance,” says Nick Stickler, President of Flite. “Together, we are combining that innovation to offer Axopar owners a premium, integrated eFoil solution that feels engineered into the boat from day one, rather than added on later”.
When combined with an Axopar vessel, Flite AIR x Axopar transforms the boat into a mobile base — enabling riders to foil in locations that are often inaccessible from shore. Quiet bays, narrow passages, and remote coastlines become part of a day’s journey, opening new possibilities for exploration.
“Bringing a Fliteboard onto a boat expands what’s possible on the water. With the boat as your base, you can reach new environments, explore further, and enjoy the water in ways that simply aren’t possible without combining these two worlds” says Jan-Erik Viitala, Axopar Founding Partner.
Designed for real boaters
Unlike standard eFoils developed primarily for beach launches, the Flite AIR x Axopar board has been engineered for the realities of boating life.
“The idea was to evolve the Flite AIR into something purpose-made for boaters — easier to handle and store, more durable around docks and hulls, and more welcoming for beginners. A board suited not only for short rides, but for real exploration.” says Viitala.
Purpose-built features for exploration
Flite AIR x Axopar combines practical functionality with a refined, exploration-led aesthetic. Integrated features such as:
- A secure bungee system
- Branded dry bag
- Attachment points enable the board to be tied safely alongside the boat when resting or switching riders
- A forward gear strap allows small personal items to be brought along
Every detail is shaped by real-world boating use, from reinforced deck and nose protection to intuitive grab points and tie-off solutions that feel natural and confidence-inspiring on the water. Inspired by the Finnish Archipelago of Kasnäs, the custom deck pad features laser-cut seafloor topography, while a colour palette aligned with Axopar’s evolving design language, including tones from the latest Axopar 38, ensures seamless visual and functional integration with the boat.
