The [eFoil](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lift-foils-lift5) board is equipped with a motor that will propel riders out to the break point and will enable them to cut out the power when they catch a wave. This will come as welcome news to more experienced riders looking to enjoy a bit of an easier experience when on the water. The Lift Foils LiftX is paired with propeller blades that can be remotely folded and activated directly from the rider's hand thanks to a remote control functionality.
