Flitestyle Build

Hello Community,

my name is Frank. I live in southwest Germany, very close to a well known, renowned jetboard manufacturer. I am an enthusiastic passive reader since the beginning of the forum.
I already became an Efoil fan with Pacificmasters video documentary. Since then I have been following this fascinating hobby and it was clear that sooner or later I would also build a DIY-Efoil.

The forum is great and has many innovative hobbyists to whom I take my hat off.
You can get a lot of knowledge, ideas and tips just by reading and studying.
So you are can see so many incredible and awesome builds.

Yesterday I could finally water my own homebuild and this is now the time to finally register in this forum.

The first ride didn’t get to the foiling in standing but I was very satisfied with the performance. Unfortunately my Antisparkswitch said goodbye and I had to end the session after half an hour.
Beside the smoked switch there are also some small leakage problems…

I like the design of Fliteboard very much and I have orientated myself a little bit here. Still working on the optical impression, the technical side is more important for now. :face_with_monocle:

Nice build my question to you .how w4 remote is doing …is it realy waterproof and doing its job …second my flipsky antispark is burned too after first use after contacting flipsky they did not help me with this problem so they are not responsible about their products

Hi Mralami, the old w4 still works, but it’s now just my spare remote control only. I switched to bremote. I had to replace the battery on the w4 once and also sealed the circuit board with epoxy. i filled the housing with silicone too.
I use the antispark switch no longer because its burned out. i just fitted my battery packs with antispark plugs and that´s it.

For antispark from flipsky it is a big scam it burned out from first or second use …best alternative is bms with switch off and on .
