Waydoo Evo Buyer’s Guide: Choosing the Right Model for You

The Waydoo Evo series offers a variety of models to suit different riding styles, skill levels, and preferences. Whether you're a beginner looking for an easy entry into e-foiling or an experienced rider seeking high performance, this guide will help you decide which model fits your needs.

 

1. Waydoo Flyer Evo MAX Plus

Best For: Beginners, families, and riders who prioritize stability and a dryer ride.

Features:

  • Large Volume Board: Increased buoyancy for easy balance and stability.
  • Height-Leveling Assistance: Automatically maintains chosen ride height.
  • Enhanced Durability: Made from high-density EPP foam for rugged performance.
  • Geo-Fencing: Contain beginners and kids into a specific geographic area to prevent riders from entering hazardous areas like boat channels or shallow water.

In our  teams experience

The Evo Max Plus has proven itself as the best board for lessons and beginners getting into E foiling. The added volume of the board creates a very stable platform to go through the motions of moving from laying, to kneeling, to standing, and of course flying. More advanced riders and instructors in our testing team often appreciate the larger board as well when riding in colder water conditions or when trying to stay dry. The board at a low speed while not flying allows you to stay standing and out of the water. When performance E foiling isn't the main focus of your session, this board gives you more options.

Why Choose It?

  • Easiest to learn on due to its increased volume and Height Leveling Assistance.
  • Great for sharing with multiple riders in a single session.
  • Improved performance for heavier riders over 220lbs, or two lighter riders on the board.
  • Most forgiving when touching down off of foil, due to the increased volume and size of the board.

Recommended Accessories

  • Scooter Kit: Add a set of handlebars and Flyer Pod for the easiest E foil possible. Handle bars will add stability and connection with the board. The Flyer Pod is an inflatable tube around the sides of the board increasing buoyancy. Together they make for the easiest and safest way to learn to E foil.
  • Mover L wheels: Quickly attach a set of wheels to the back of the Evo Max 130L to easily transport your full setup to and from the water.
  • 130L  Max Board Bag: Store your board safely in the 130L Max Board Bag, and transport with ease in combination with the Mover L wheels
  • Jet Drive: Creates a smooth power deliver and encloses the impeller fully to  prevent accidents

 

 

2. Waydoo Evo Lite

Best For: Intermediate riders who want a balance of affordability and performance.

Features:

  • Medium Volume Board: Combines stability with agility for more advanced maneuvers.
  • Customizable Setup: Multiple mast lengths and wing sizes are available.
  • Portable Design: Lightweight with removable wheels for easy transport.

In our team's experience:

The Waydoo Flyer Evo Lite is a board that punches far above its price tag. For riders looking to get on the water and foiling, and are confident in their riding ability this board is a great option. Compared to the Evo Pro Plus, the board is very similar for those under 180lbs. The smaller motor and battery become more noticeable as the rider weight increases over 180lbs. There is also a benefit in the weight savings from the smaller battery and motor. The lack of Height Leveling Assistance sensors won't be a big deal for riders with water or board sports experience. For riders with less experience with water sports or foiling, the Flyer Pod would be a great compromise to help learning without the Height Leveling Assistance sensors.

Why Choose It?

  • An affordable option for riders progressing from beginner to intermediate.
  • Get the experience of E foiling without needing extra long battery life, the utmost motor output, and Height Leveling Assistance sensors.
  • Perfect for people getting into E foiling, with some board or watersports experience.
  • A lightweight set up with smaller battery and motor, allowing for shorter but more engaging rides.

Accessories

  • Flyer Pod: Adds a significant amount of flotation, protection and stability to your board, Perfect for beginners. 
  • Mover S wheels: Quickly attach a set of wheels to the back of the Evo Pro Plus 90L to easily transport your full setup to and from the water.
  • 90L  Pro Plus/Lite Board Bag: Store your board safely in the 90L Pro Plus/Lite Board Bag, and transport with ease in combination with the Mover S wheels.
  • Jet Drive: Creates a smooth power deliver and encloses the impeller fully to  prevent accidents
  • Folding Prop: Add the folding prop to reduce drag when riding waves, and increase range due to the prop cage being removed.

 

3. Waydoo Evo PRO PLUS

Best For: All around riders who want the easiest access to Performance.

Features:

In our teams Experience:

The Waydoo Flyer Evo Pro Plus has become the standout favorite for the majority of riders. The value for money with the large battery, large motor, and Height Leveling Assistance sensors provide a setup the broadest range of riders can enjoy. Our team uses this board most often when going out for team rides, but still when teaching lessons or beginners on demos. While it is not quite as easy as the Evo Max 130L to learn on it still is easier than any other e. foil brand on the market. Our team also loves the EPP foam construction allowing for a durable board for the hard use we put our boards through. If you are unsure of what setup to go for, the Waydoo Flyer Evo Pro Plus is an easy choice.

Why Choose It?

  • A board for all skill levels
  • Beginners will love the Height Leveling Assistance, and experts will love the size and playfulness of the board.
  • Widest range of possibilities, including teaching beginners, long distance cruises, surfing waves, and increasing skill level for other foiling disciplines.

  • Folding Prop: Add the folding prop to reduce drag when riding waves, and increase range due to the prop cage being removed.
  • Jet Drive: Creates a smooth power deliver and encloses the impeller fully to  prevent accidents.

 

4. Waydoo Flyer Evo MASTER

Best For: Thrill-seekers and advanced riders.

Features:

  • Compact, Low-Volume Board: Ultimate responsiveness for technical tricks and tight maneuvers.
  • Lightweight Carbon Fiber Construction: Designed for portability and improving performance.
  • Height-Leveling Assistance: Supports peak performance at high speeds.
  • Carbon Fiber 31 Inch Mast: The lightest mast with a super stiff and direct feeling.

In our teams experience:

The Waydoo Flyer Evo Master, is the highest performing E foil in the Waydoo range. This is the board our team enjoys riding the most. Due to our more advanced skill level we all appreciate the smaller lighter board for faster maneuvers and a more agile riding experience. With the C1100 Voyager wing, the board requires high takeoff speeds and riding to maintain lift. The reduced lift and therefore front foot pressure allows for a much more agile feel. We also all noticed the direct feeling of the carbon mast, and the more streamlined motor resulted in more confidence in tricky maneuvers and general riding. Surprisingly the Height Level Adjustment sensors also provided assistance to our experienced team as we were getting used to the increased performance. We also appreciated the inclusion of a bag for the board and full propulsion unit and accessories. We also all love the look of the carbon fiber on the board and mast, which more than makes up for the extra care needed compared to the EPP foam boards. If you want the highest performance E foil, look no further!

Why Choose It?

  • The ultimate Waydoo Evo
  • Precision handling for experienced riders pushing limits.
  • Compact design makes it ideal for travel and storage.
  • Ride the fastest with the most potential for performance riding and tricks.

Recommended Accessories:

  • Comes set up with all the goodies, including Board Bag, Power Unit Accessories Bag, Fast Charger, and Surfing Tail.
  • Folding Prop: Add the folding prop to reduce drag when riding waves, and increase range due to the prop cage being removed.
  • Jet Drive: Creates a smooth power deliver and encloses the impeller fully to  prevent accidents.

 

Key Considerations When Choosing the Right E-Foil for You

  • Skill Level: Beginners will benefit from the Evo MAX, while advanced riders might prefer the PRO PLUS or MASTER.

  • Riding Style: Choose larger boards for stability or compact boards for agility and tricks.

  • Water Conditions: Calm waters suit all models, but choppy or wave-filled conditions are best handled by the PRO PLUS or MASTER.

  • Transportation Needs: The Evo Mover S and L wheels and accessory bags make all models travel-friendly.
