Waydoo Flyer EVO Max Plus: Stable eFoil for Beginners

There are four Flyer EVO configurations. The right one depends on your experience and your weight.

• EVO Lite: 90 L board, 4000 W, up to 36 km/h, around 100 minutes of ride time, for riders up to roughly 90 kg. The most accessible way into the EVO system.
• EVO Max Plus: 130 L board, 6000 W, up to 45 km/h, around 120 minutes, for riders up to roughly 130 kg. The largest and most stable board, and the easiest to learn on.
• EVO Pro Plus: 90 L board, 6000 W, up to 52 km/h, around 120 minutes, for riders up to roughly 130 kg. Works from your first session through to advanced riding.
• EVO Master: 75 L Kevlar and carbon board, 6000 W, up to 52 km/h, around 120 minutes, for riders up to roughly 100 kg. Built for advanced riders who want the most direct handling.

Speed and ride time vary with rider weight, water conditions and riding style. If you are unsure, tell us your weight and experience and we will point you to the right one.

No. It is the easiest EVO to learn on, but it reaches 45 km/h (28 mph), which leaves plenty of room for carving and cruising.

Experienced riders can turn Flight Assist off and use the higher gear settings for a more manual, more demanding ride.

Heavier riders are usually pointed to the Max Plus whatever their skill level, simply because the 130 L board carries more volume. It is also the configuration compatible with the Scooter Kit, which adds handlebars and an inflatable pod.

More volume and more surface area mean the board sits more stably in the water before you are up on foil.

That extra stability makes it easier to balance, reduces the chance of tipping, and gives you more time to react during takeoff and at low speed. The result is a more forgiving learning curve, which is why the 130 L Max Plus is the configuration we point most beginners towards.

Yes, three that are specific to it:

• The Scooter Kit, which adds handlebars and an inflatable pod for extra buoyancy and stability. It makes the learning stage more controlled.
• The Mover (L), a dedicated transport trolley sized for the larger board, for getting the full setup to and from the water.
• The 130 L board bag, sized to match the Max Plus board for transport and storage.

They solve different problems.

FoilBoost is a foil-assist unit. It mounts under a foilboard you already own and gives you the power to get up on foil and extend your session. It is 5.6 kg, delivers 33 kg of thrust, and runs a 432 Wh battery.

The Flyer EVO is a complete electric hydrofoil: board, mast, wings, propulsion and battery as one system, ridden with a wireless remote.

Choose FoilBoost if you already foil and want assist power. Choose a Flyer EVO if you want a complete eFoil setup.

Top speed depends on the configuration:

• EVO Lite: up to 36 km/h (22.4 mph)
• EVO Max Plus: up to 45 km/h (28 mph)
• EVO Pro Plus: up to 52 km/h (32 mph)
• EVO Master: up to 52 km/h (32 mph)

Actual speed varies with rider weight, water conditions and your setup.

The EVO Max Plus, Pro Plus and Master are rated up to 120 minutes on the 2300 Wh pack. The EVO Lite is rated up to 100 minutes.

In practice, expect 45 to 90 minutes or more depending on your weight, how hard you ride, water conditions and which gear you use. Riding at full throttle in chop will always draw more than cruising.

These are the ideal rider weights for each configuration:

• EVO Lite: up to about 90 kg (198 lbs)
• EVO Max Plus: up to about 130 kg (286 lbs)
• EVO Pro Plus: up to about 130 kg (286 lbs)
• EVO Master: up to about 100 kg (220 lbs)

Heavier riders are generally steered towards the Max Plus regardless of experience level, because the 130 L board carries more volume and lifts more easily.
