Waydoo Evo Max 130L vs Pro Plus 90L with Flyer Pod - Video Review

Which eFoil Should You Choose?

I’ve spent a lot of time riding and teaching on both the 130-liter Evo Max and the 90-liter Pro Plus with the Flyer Pod. In this video, I walk through the differences, the benefits, and the trade-offs of each so you can decide which setup matches your riding style, storage situation, and long-term goals. You can also read my full written breakdown in the companion blog for more detail.

There are benefits and drawbacks to both options. Let's discuss the two options, see which fits your riding style and conditions best.

Key Takeaways

• The 90L Pro Plus with Flyer Pod gives you two boards in one
  

• The 130L Evo Max is the smoothest, most stable ride for bigger riders and for teaching
  

• Storage and transport are much easier with the Flyer Pod setup
  

• The 130L is ideal for all-around stability, especially for group or boat use

Watch & Learn

Jump to 0:45 in the video to see why the Flyer Pod turns the 90L into two boards in one. At 1:25, I cover what makes the 130L such a smooth and stable ride. By 2:30, I give my final recommendation on which one to choose.

If storage is tight or you like the idea of starting big and moving to a smaller, more agile board later, the 90L with Flyer Pod is a smart option. I can deflate the pod, pack it down small, and transport it easily.

If storage isn’t a concern and you want maximum stability with the smoothest glide, especially for letting friends or family ride off a boat, go for the 130L. It might look big on land, but once it’s in the water it feels comfortable and responsive.

FAQ

Which Waydoo eFoil is better for beginners — the 130L Evo Max or the 90L with Flyer Pod?

If stability is your top priority, I recommend the 130L Evo Max. It’s smooth, forgiving, and makes learning easier, especially for bigger riders or group use off a boat. The 90L with Flyer Pod is also beginner-friendly, but it’s better if you know you’ll eventually want a smaller, more agile board.

Is the Flyer Pod worth it for the 90L Pro Plus?
Yes, if you value versatility. The Flyer Pod turns the 90L into a stable learning platform, and once you’re comfortable, you can remove it for a smaller, more responsive ride. It’s like having two boards in one.

How much storage space do I need for each board?
The 90L with Flyer Pod packs down small — you can deflate the pod and fit it into a trunk or closet. The 130L is a solid board, so it takes more space and works best if you have garage, dock, or boat storage.

Which board is better for travel?
The 90L with Flyer Pod is the clear winner for travel. It’s lighter, more compact, and easier to transport. The 130L can be transported, but it’s bulkier and less convenient for frequent trips.

What’s the ride difference between the 130L Evo Max and the 90L Pro Plus without the Flyer Pod?
The 130L has the smoothest glide and maximum stability. The 90L without the pod feels quicker and more agile, but you give up some stability compared to the bigger board.

Can I use both boards for teaching new riders?
Yes, but I prefer the 130L for teaching. It’s more forgiving and stable, so new riders can focus on getting up and balanced without fighting the board.
