Flite and Mercury Racing Launch the RACE: Unleashing Fliteboard’s Most Powerful and Fastest eFoil Ever
Flite, a Brunswick Corporation (NYSE: BC) brand and a global leader in electric hydrofoil technology, has announced the launch of Fliteboard RACE in collaboration with Mercury Racing. 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.
RACE sets a benchmark for high-performance watersports, with a custom RACE impeller built to deliver higher RPMs and reach top speeds of 34mph (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.
“The collaboration with Mercury Racing to launch Fliteboard RACE at CES marks an important step in advancing our brand and technology leadership,” said Nick Stickler, Flite president. “By combining Mercury Racing’s propulsion expertise with Flite’s innovation in electric hydrofoils, we’ve created an eFoil that redefines what’s possible in speed, control, and competitive performance.”
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’s elongated, narrow profile improves takeoff and touchdown response, while the custom impeller and elevated mast configuration optimize speed and handling.
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.
