Waydoo Flyer One+ Board For Sale USA – Waydoo Dealers. Waydoo FLYER ONE+ Board. Waydoo arrived on the electric board scene at a time when excitement for eFoils met with disappointment–they were all crazy expensive. The Flyer One+ continues Waydoo’s success in providing an eFoil at a little more than half the price of similar platforms.
We tested the EPP version of the Flyer One+ and experienced going from being cautious and critical about the product to being super stoked. The EPP covering–like soft top surfboards–makes it very forgiving when learning the ropes. It also protects your car and house when moving or storing it.
As far as performance goes, there’s plenty of power with a 6000W motor. You’ll get anywhere between 45 and 70 minutes of ride time off a single charge depending on your level and body weight. Charge time is around 2 hours from around 10% we found.

Starting to Efoil
With the Explorer wing set, and the board floating on its head with the mast up, the Flyer One+ isn’t all that fun to tow out to depth. On account of having a remote controller in one hand and the other on the board, towing any board isn’t all that fun.
Most riders won’t be able to lie prone and kick when the mast is finally turned downward at 4 feet or so. That’s because the size of the board doesn’t provide enough buoyancy for riders over 175 lbs to lie prone on it without it submerging. Heavier ladies and gents like the 3 from Divein that tested the Flyer One+ had to swim slowly out.
The good news is that once in deep enough water everything gets easier.

Getting Up | Waydoo Flyer One+ Board For Sale USA – Waydoo Dealers
The controller is intuitive and smart–setting a power limit and adjusting using “+” and “-” rather than knobs. The design of the controller is one of the best of all electric surfboards and efoils. Other models will have a throttle that’s spring-loaded. Squeezing at constant pressure is the way to maintain speed on those models. And the hand can get a bit tired of that. Beginners especially.
Once set to 7-9 out of 20, grab on to the nose handle and pull the trigger. There’s good power and once some speed is achieved, the experience on this Waydoo is like an electric boogie board. It’ll be necessary to increase the power on the controller for heavier set folk, in order to have enough thrust to get to the next stage of standing.
If you’re not familiar with efoiling, you’ll start by getting on your knees while motoring. From a kneeling position, it’s possible to get a feel for directional control. It’s even very possible to get enough speed and, with a centered balance, get the Flyer One+ to generate lift and start to foil. For absolute newbies, it’s better to try to stand while skipping across the surface.
Beginners will find this board fun while they seek to find their balance like this.
