Fliteboard is leaning into destination riding as much as hardware in 2026, using a new travel-and-coaching program to turn eFoiling into a broader lifestyle product. In a recent post, the company announced that eFoil Riders will return in 2026 with a curated series of multi-day adventures across 11 destinations, including Mallorca, Ibiza, Greece, Lofoten, Berlin, Sardinia, Croatia, Portugal, Copenhagen, St. Maarten and St. Barths, and Colombia. The format is built around guided on-water sessions, small-group coaching, exploration routes, and local off-water experiences, with riders able to bring their own Fliteboard or use equipment supplied by the organizers.

For the first wave of brands, the pitch was the machine itself: speed, lift, battery range, and design. Fliteboard is now pushing a second layer, where the product is the ride experience, the training environment, and the community around it. The company says the trips are structured to help riders progress through daily sessions and personalized feedback, with separate beginner, mixed-level, and advanced or pro retreat formats. Beginners get controlled settings and coaching around stability and technique, while more advanced riders are offered open-water sessions, technical drills, and race-style progression.

The destination list also says something about where the company sees demand. Rather than centering the calendar on one flagship location, Fliteboard is spreading the program across Mediterranean, Nordic, Atlantic, and Caribbean waters. That gives the brand a way to market eFoiling in different conditions and travel contexts, from warm-water leisure destinations to technical cold-water environments such as Norway’s Lofoten region. It also turns eFoiling into a repeat-participation activity rather than a one-time demo or resort novelty.

Arc Boats has announced its 2025 Electric Summer demo tour, spanning 25 stops across the United States and Canada. The tour gives prospective buyers a chance to experience the Arc Sport, a 23-foot all-electric wake boat powered by a 226 kWh lithium-ion battery pack producing 500 hp and double the torque of comparable gas-powered wake boats.

The tour is already underway, with active demos running now in SF Bay (CA), Dallas (TX), Miami (FL), Austin (TX), and Seattle (WA). Spring stops include Nashville (April 8–18), Atlanta (April 19–May 10), Charlotte (April 29–September 6), Salt Lake City (May 6–October 4), Lake Tahoe (May 6–October 4), Richmond (May 10–26), and Denver (May 12–June 27).

Summer brings the tour to some of the country's most sought-after boating destinations. The Hamptons (NY) runs June 4–8, followed by Wolfeboro (NH) from June 9–21, Upstate New York from June 21–July 21, Bigfork (MT) from July 1–26, Coeur d'Alene (ID) from July 15–25, and Traverse City (MI) from July 22–August 12. The tour then crosses the border into Muskoka, Ontario, from August 6–September 27, before returning stateside to Madison (WI) from August 13–25 and Minneapolis (MN) from August 26–September 13.

The Arc Sport supports Level 2 overnight charging for a full battery by morning, and Level 3 DC fast charging to 80% capacity in as little as 45 minutes. The boat accommodates up to 15 passengers and includes a computer-controlled ballast system, auto-retracting carbon fiber hardtop tower, bow and stern thrusters, three integrated cameras, and over-the-air software updates.

Prospective buyers can sign up for a demo at their nearest stop through Arc's website. The Arc Coast, Arc's new 24-foot, 400 hp all-electric center console with a 220 kWh battery pack, is also scheduled to begin customer demonstrations this spring, with deliveries starting in summer 2026.
