Four Flyer EVO configurations are on waydoo.tech: Lite, Pro Plus, Max Plus and Master. The names do not tell you which one to order. Three decisions do: how much board you need under you, whether you want Flight Assist while you learn, and which propulsion tier you want to start with. This guide walks through those three, in that order, and ends with a table you can read in one minute.
The Flyer EVO range at a glance
Every Flyer EVO is the same modular platform: a board, a mast with a propulsion unit, a front wing and tail, a Powerflight battery that slots into the board, and a hand remote. That matters because the decision you make today is not final. Boards, propulsion units, wings and batteries are all sold separately on the store, so a rider who starts on a Max Plus board and later wants a smaller one changes the board, not the whole eFoil. The wings, masts and propulsion guide covers the upgrade paths in detail.
What differs between the four configurations is which board, which propulsion tier and which battery pack come in the box, and whether Flight Assist is fitted.
Decision one: how much board
Board volume is the single biggest factor in how quickly you get flying. More volume means more float at rest, an easier start and a more forgiving landing. Less volume means a lighter, more responsive board once you are up. The Max Plus board is the high-volume, stable option at 130 L. The 90 L Pro Plus board is the balanced choice for riders who will progress fast or already have board sports behind them. The Master board is a 75 L carbon build for riders who already fly and want the lightest, most direct feel.
Your own weight sets the floor. Before you choose a smaller board, read the eFoil weight limit guide: a heavier rider on a low-volume board spends the first sessions fighting the start instead of learning to fly.
Decision two: Flight Assist or not
Flight Assist is the control system that holds the board level once you are up, so the first sessions are about balance rather than pitch control. It is fitted on the Max Plus, the Pro Plus and the Master. The Lite does not have it. That is the real difference between the Lite and the rest of the range, and it is why the Lite suits a rider who is comfortable learning the old way, or who is buying a second eFoil for a household that already rides. How the system works, and how to switch it off once you no longer want it, is in the Waydoo app and Flight Assist guide.
Decision three: propulsion tier and battery
The Lite ships with the 1800 Wh Powerflight pack. The Max Plus, Pro Plus and Master ship with the 2300 Wh pack, which is the difference between the two runtime figures on the product pages. If you plan to ride long sessions, the second battery is the upgrade riders buy first; the second battery and charger guide explains which pack and charger pair with which configuration.
Propulsion comes in tiers. The Master ships with the performance unit. The EVO Elite propulsion unit is the top tier and is sold on its own, so it is an upgrade you can order later on any board rather than a configuration you have to commit to on day one. A rider who wants the Elite from the start orders the board configuration that fits and adds the unit.
Max Plus vs Pro Plus: the decision most buyers are making
These two share the 6000 W propulsion, the 2300 Wh battery and Flight Assist. The board is the difference, and it is a big one: the Max Plus board is 130 L, the Pro Plus board is 90 L.
The extra 40 L on the Max Plus floats you higher at rest, so the first starts, the step from knees to feet and the landings are more forgiving. The smaller Pro Plus board is lighter under your feet and turns more sharply once you are up, and its listed top speed is higher: up to about 52 km/h, against about 45 km/h for the Max Plus.
At the time of writing the Max Plus is EUR 6,999 and the Pro Plus EUR 7,033, so the two cost almost the same. Price does not decide this one. How you ride does.
Order the Max Plus if this is your first eFoil, the board will be shared with a partner or older children, or you want the shortest path to your first flight.
Order the Pro Plus if you already wing, kite or prone foil and know how a foil lifts, you will be the only rider, and you want the board to feel lively from the first week instead of growing into it.
Still between the two? It is a low-risk call. The Max Plus board and the Pro Plus board are both sold separately, so the rest of the eFoil carries over if you change board later. And a dealer demo lets you stand on one before you order: see the demo and dealer guide. Check the eFoil weight limit guide before you choose the smaller board.
The four configurations compared
| Configuration | Board | Flight Assist | Battery pack | Price at the time of writing | Who it is for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lite | Lite board | No | 1800 Wh | EUR 5,807 | Entry price, rider happy to learn without assist, or a second eFoil |
| Max Plus | Max Plus board, 130 L | Yes | 2300 Wh | EUR 6,999 | First eFoil, shared household board, heavier riders |
| Pro Plus | Pro Plus board, 90 L | Yes | 2300 Wh | EUR 7,033 | Riders with board sports behind them who will progress fast |
| Master | Master board, 75 L carbon | Yes | 2300 Wh | EUR 9,546 | Riders who already fly and want the lightest, most direct build |
Prices change; the product pages are always current. Warranty cover is up to two years and varies by component, and the exact split is on each product page.
Which Flyer EVO fits you
Ordering your first eFoil and want the shortest path to flying: Max Plus. Coming from wing, kite or prone foiling: Pro Plus. Already flying an eFoil and buying the build you will keep: Master, and consider the Elite unit. Buying on price, or adding a second board to a household that already rides: Lite, knowing it has no Flight Assist.
If you would rather try before you decide, the demo and dealer guide explains how to book a session, and ordering, delivery and the first ride covers what happens after you order.
