Showcased on the opening day of the 2026 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas on Tuesday, this new eFoil is engineered for elite riders seeking ultimate speed, precision, and flawless control.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read Next:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/boatingmag.com\/water-sports\/5-keys-to-wakefoiling-behind-a-boat\/\">5 Keys to Wakefoiling Behind a Boat<\/a><\/p>\n<p>RACE sets a benchmark for high-performance watersports, with a custom RACE impeller built to deliver higher RPMs and reach top speeds of 34 mph (55 km\/h, 30 knots). To support speed on demand, RACE is the first Fliteboard to use FLITELab* surf foiling wings in the setup. The Flux range features three wing sizes and will give riders the confidence to push hard.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe collaboration with Mercury Racing to launch Fliteboard RACE at CES marks an important step in advancing our brand and technology leadership,\u201d said Nick Stickler, Flite president. \u201cBy combining Mercury Racing\u2019s propulsion expertise with Flite\u2019s innovation in electric hydrofoils, we\u2019ve created an eFoil that redefines what\u2019s possible in speed, control, and competitive performance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Designed for confident riders, competitive eFoilers and performance driven athletes, RACE integrates motorsport-inspired design cues, including signature carbon Innegra detailing and aerodynamic contours that visually reinforce its racing pedigree. The board\u2019s elongated, narrow profile improves takeoff and touchdown response, while the custom impeller and elevated mast configuration optimize speed and handling.<\/p>\n<p>To enhance the experience, RACE inspired upgrades will soon be available on Flite App. Compete with the global community in new leaderboard APEX 250, an out and back 250-meter game of speed and agility. Flite App also shows G-force and lean angle, so riders can forget about guesswork and ride with precision.<\/p>\n<p>Fliteboard RACE.
