Flite MN Carbon Wave C - 82cm / Folding Prop – Monolithic Carbon Wave Mast
The Flite MN Carbon Wave C - 82cm with Folding Propeller represents high-performance electric hydrofoiling engineered specifically for surf foiling and swell catching, crafted by Fliteboard in collaboration with Marc Newson. Molded as an ultra-stiff monolithic pre-preg carbon structure, this setup utilizes a smart Folding Prop. When the motor throttle is disengaged, the blades seamlessly fold backward, reducing hydrodynamic resistance to near-zero and providing an unpowered, friction-free wave-gliding sensation. The 82 cm mast height delivers steep carving clearance, backed by the streamlined Conical (C) wing mount.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Fliteboard Folding Propeller operate on waves?
Centrifugal and thrust forces open the Folding Prop blades under power to catch a wave. Once on the wave face, releasing the trigger folds the blades flush against the hub, eliminating prop drag and letting you ride ocean swells solely on foil efficiency.
Why is the 82 cm carbon mast optimal for wave riding?
The 82 cm length gives ample ride height above turbulent foam and swell troughs, enabling severe carves without the board touching the water or the foil breaching air.
What is the difference between MN Carbon Wave and MN Carbon Jet?
The MN Jet is enclosed for maximum security and casual flight. The MN Wave is an uncompromised surf setup designed with a folding propeller specifically to harvest wave energy with zero motor drag.
