Published Sep 14, 2026 Intermediate Skills

Description

We caught up with watersports legend Damien LeRoy and the Lift team at AWSI 2026 to take a close look at their latest foil assist setups and high-performance range.
Lift is building their entire lineup around a modular eFoil core, using their quick-connect mast system to let riders easily transition between eFoils, crossover assist setups, and unassisted foiling.
In this video, Damien breaks down how their foil assist systems function, the tool-less hardware integration, and their high-performance collaboration with John John and Nathan Florence—bringing surf-tuned outlines and reduced swing weight to riders chasing maximum maneuverability.
