The Tale From the Foil Vault
The first Flite Cup sits at the beginning of public eFoil racing culture. Foiling Magazine described the event in Monsaraz, Portugal as the first Flite Cup, with riders testing new wing setups around a technical course designed to challenge speed, turning, and control. Tom Court is identified in his Fliteboard team profile as the winner of the inaugural Flite Cup in Portugal. The accessible sources do not provide a full official results sheet, so this is recorded as a world-first race milestone rather than a fully detailed sanctioned championship table.
Rules of the Beast
The event must be a public eFoil race on a marked or defined course using motorized eFoil boards. The first accepted event is the earliest widely documented international race winner found online.
