Choosing Your SiFly eFoil: EPP Foam Rider Series vs. Carbon Stellar Series

Choosing Your SiFly eFoil: EPP Foam Rider Series vs. Carbon Stellar Series - Solimar Industries


Electric hydrofoiling (eFoiling) is one of the most exciting ways to experience the water. If you’re looking to join the eFoil revolution, SiFly offers some of the most reliable and user-friendly setups on the market.

When shopping at Solimar Industries, the biggest choice you will make comes down to board construction: the EPP Foam Rider Series or the Full Carbon Stellar Series.

Here is a simple, straightforward breakdown of how these two categories compare—covering weight, durability, value, and agility—so you can pick the perfect setup for your riding style.

1. The EPP Foam Rider Series: Maximum Durability & Unbeatable Value

The Rider Series is built with high-density EPP (Expanded Polypropylene) foam over an aluminum frame. Think of it as a ultra-tough, shock-absorbing soft top.

|   • Maximum stability               • Sportier foam ride    |
|   • Ideal for beginners             • Great for intermediate|
+-------------------------------------------------------------+

Models in This Range

  • Rider 130L: High flotation and maximum stability. The easiest board to learn on and ideal for heavier riders or relaxed family cruising.

  • Rider 110L: A more compact foam board that provides a sportier, more maneuverable ride while keeping the forgiveness of EPP foam.

Why Choose Foam?

  • Unmatched Durability: EPP foam is naturally impact-resistant. Dings, minor bumps against docks, or rocky shores are no problem—the foam absorbs shock without cracking.

  • Soft & Forgiving Deck: Falling is part of learning. The soft-touch foam deck cushions impacts, making falls much gentler on your body.

  • Exceptional Value: Foam manufacturing allows SiFly to offer these complete sets at a significantly lower price point, making eFoiling accessible without compromising on power or fun.

  • Board Weight: Around 15 kg (33 lbs) board-only.

  • Color: Available in a clean, modern Matte Black / Charcoal finish.

2. The Carbon Stellar Series: Lightweight Agility & Pure Performance

The Stellar Series is engineered for riders who want razor-sharp precision, aggressive carving, and maximum responsiveness. Crafted from a Full Carbon Sandwich with a lightweight EPS core, these boards are built for pure performance.

|   • Dynamic all-rounder             • Ultra-agile wave rider|
|   • High-speed carving              • Surgical precision    |
+-------------------------------------------------------------+

Models in This Range

  • Stellar S (98L): The sweet spot for intermediate-to-advanced foilers. It pairs easy touchdowns with dynamic carving.

  • Stellar X (75L): The smallest, most agile board in the lineup. Designed for expert riders looking for high-speed turns and wave riding.

Why Choose Carbon?

  • Lightweight Agility: By shaving off weight (10.6 kg for the 98L and just 8.6 kg for the 75L), carbon boards lower swing weight dramatically. This means effortless turns and instant response to weight shifts.

  • Maximum Rigidity: Carbon fiber creates a stiff structure. Every slight movement from your feet translates instantly to the foil below.

  • Premium Finishes & Colors: Stellar boards feature exposed carbon detailing paired with rich metallic finishes, including Pearl White, Deep Blue, and Metallic Red.
