Lift Foils Founder and eFoil Inventor Nick Leason Talks with American Surf Magazine

When Nick Leason combined an electric motor with a hydrofoil in 2015, he was following his instincts as an engineer and waterman. That first experimental prototype, while rudimentary, showed enough promise to spark a vision that would eventually transform how people experience the water.

In an exclusive interview with American Surf Magazine, Nick shares the story of Lift Foils' journey from a small surfboard factory to the development of the first eFoil. From late nights in his father's backyard workshop to breakthrough moments on mountaintops, the interview offers a glimpse into the challenges and triumphs of bringing a new concept to life.

"You can have the best product or service in the world, but if you don't run a good and sound business, it will fail," Nick reflects, offering insights into both the technical and business challenges of bringing a revolutionary product to market. Read the full interview in American Surf Magazine
