Fliteboard is the only Australian made commercial electric foil I've come across - its based near Byron bay NSW. i follow them on Fb and they regularly post updates. They've not released prices yet but it appears to be quite a premium product. Its a complete product with board & foil - batteries and controller integrated into the board.

Anyone tried a watersnake on a foil board to see if that works?

Hi guys - it's David from Fliteboard. Yes we are developing a premium product - it really needs to be when dealing with high voltage batteries, light weight materials and salt water! Our design and engineering is almost complete. It's been a complex project with about 25 people involved and many innovations and patents etc along the way. We will release pricing in March. Shipping in Aus will be later in the year. I started out with this idea a few years ago, looking at things like watersnake. Much much more power is required. We have developed our own battery, battery management system, hand controller custom motor, etc. the hand controller will be software updateable and uses a gps and colour screen to give you various information, manage battery life etc. Speed is really determined by the foils. Anyway if you have any questions I'll try and answer them when not flat out on the project!

Great project vide. I rekon if your looking for something after that one, a module silmilar that people can bolt on to an exsiting foil fuselage would sell big time also.
