Test ride

Where can I test ride an eFoil or jet board?

The easiest way is at our showroom at Funkhaus Berlin: there you can test eFoils from Aerofoils, Lift Foils and Fliteboard as well as jet boards from Awake and mo-jet. A test ride costs €299. Outside Berlin, our partners offer test rides in Bremen, Düsseldorf, at Lake Garda, in Barcelona, Sotogrande and Porto Heli.

We recommend a test ride with advice before you buy an eFoil or jet board. The models differ a lot in board size, wing and drive, and the quickest way to find out what suits you is on the water. We test every product ourselves and have been advising customers in our own showroom since 2019.

How much does a test ride cost?

A test ride costs €299 including VAT, whether eFoil or jet board.

If you then buy an eFoil or jet board from us, we deduct the €299 from your invoice. On request, we provide a wetsuit, impact vest and helmet.

Which eFoils and jet boards can I test in Berlin?

At Funkhaus Berlin, eFoils and jet boards from five brands are ready for you to test:

TypeBrands
eFoilAerofoils, Lift Foils, Fliteboard
Jet boardAwake Boards, mo-jet

This lets you compare several boards back to back. You’ll find all models with prices in our shop under Buy an eFoil and Buy a jet board.

How does a test ride work?

An eFoil test ride takes 90 to 120 minutes, a jet board test ride 60 minutes. Both start with a briefing on land. Our trainer explains all the components, you set up the board together, and then you head out on the water. There the trainer stays with you and gives you instructions via headset while you ride.

Afterwards you have plenty of time for your questions: which board, which wing and which battery suit your weight, your local waters and your riding style.

Do I need a licence for a jet board test ride?

Yes, in Germany you need a boat licence (Sportbootführerschein) for a jet board, because the motor has more than 7.5 kW. Please bring it to your test ride. You don’t need a licence for an eFoil.

What is the minimum age for a test ride?

We offer test rides from the age of 16, for eFoils and jet boards alike. For the jet board you also need the boat licence.

Where can I test ride outside Berlin?

Our partners offer test rides and advice at these locations. You can then buy your board directly from us – we deliver throughout Europe.
