Designing for the future of over water transport

Challenge

Fliteboard, the inventor and pioneer of the electric hydrofoil (eFoil), wanted to push the boundaries of personal watercraft - and capitalise on being first to market. With a focus on creating the highest quality product, and a lot of attention to the details and design craftsmanship - they needed to make their products more intuitive to understand, easy to customise, and fun to engage with bot on and off the water. From building an advanced configurator to designing sleek controllers and a mobile app, they had ambitious goals—but also big challenges in UX, design, and product integration.

Approach

We worked with Fliteboard for over four years, enhancing the product experience across multiple touchpoints. Our focus was on making their products more intuitive, engaging, and seamlessly connected.

We took a user-first approach, combining in-depth research with insights from team riders to map out key digital improvements. Through rapid prototyping, water testing, and hands-on user feedback, we refined every digital interaction—from intuitive product UI and community engagement in the app to seamless e-commerce integration—ensuring Fliteboard’s digital and physical experiences were functional, immersive, and future-ready.
