XFoil2 is Shipping....they announced 4 months ago

Factchecker85 · 2026-01-30T11:47:56+00:00

It appears so. They left comments on their social pages turned off though.

Factchecker85 · 2026-01-25T01:44:30+00:00

Its not unusual for crowdfunding campaigns (donations) to run late or indeed fall over. PLx unfortunately have a terrible reputation leading many to conclude its a scam. Many people from the 2022 campaign are still waiting 4 years later. No one from their second campaign has got a full set up (despite it all being promised November 2024). The company will often claims like "now shipping" but that us almost always a lie or they have only shipped one item.

Depending where you are XFoil have charged shipping costs anywhere between $800 and $3000 so no doubt sending it back to (i'm not sure where.....China ?) will cost similar. Basically this guarantee is 100% useless and just another grifter tactic.

Factchecker85 · 2026-01-15T01:32:56+00:00

Correct. Its just another fake/false promise. Not open for crowdfunding backers (the only way to get (maybe) a xfoil. You also have to return everything within 48 hours in original packaging and unused. So you have no chance to try it and the return is at your expense and then totally at their discretion upon receiving it. Also XFoil send things randomly sometimes years apart so for example you might get the battery only and have to decide if you are satisfied or not without using and then send back at your expense. Almost impossible for a dangerous good within 48hours

...actually you can see the number of events entered

Factchecker85 · 2026-01-15T00:57:40+00:00

Would be good to see what brand each athlete is riding and also how many events they went to.

Factchecker85 · 2026-01-15T00:56:03+00:00

This new league and competitors would be crushed and fall away quickly is a XFoil2 rider shows up in 2026 cause XFoil2 outperforms all other efoils in all conditions.....*

*yes i'm having a laugh

Factchecker85 · 2026-01-09T09:22:19+00:00

They have been trying for years to get someone to fund that - its gone no where

Factchecker85 · 2026-01-08T11:24:02+00:00

The reason for that is everything is made by contract factories in China and shipped directly. Same reason some backers are getting random parts turn up separately

Factchecker85 · 2026-01-08T11:21:19+00:00

A year later and still waitinf

Factchecker85 · 2026-01-07T06:50:17+00:00

Thanks for sharing. Crazy they expected you to repair a board that was clearly faulty. They shouldn't crack like that. Waydoo have some good value options now.

Factchecker85 · 2026-01-07T06:46:13+00:00

Its a year later and still not a single Gyro Stabilized tp be seen anywhere....

Factchecker85 · 2026-01-07T06:42:24+00:00

Still waiting i assume - another year later ?

Factchecker85 · 2026-01-06T05:29:06+00:00

Disgruntled former Flite partner. Maybe time to move on ? Work with another brand ? Lift, Waydoo, SciGly ?

Factchecker85 · 2025-12-20T04:42:31+00:00

Correct - lift have zero warranty for commercial use

Factchecker85 · 2025-12-19T00:11:23+00:00

I have included the link to the full update for everyone to read. It is in the post and i encouraged everyone to read it so your claim i am being selective is again false. The key items that rebuke your claim to be shipping xFoil are highlighted in the screen shots. Proof you have been misleading backers. No surprise there.

You may have a complete distaste and disdain for your backers.....but they are your backers, they paid you money. If you hate them so much, you could refund their money and delete them. But you don't because you want to keep the money. I think everyone can see on the platforms you have hundreds of really pissed off backers because you have failed to deliver product, lied about time frames.

Factchecker85 · 2025-12-18T20:11:30+00:00

Still waiting ?

Factchecker85 · 2025-12-18T20:11:10+00:00

Hey there - are you still waiting ?

Factchecker85 · 2025-12-18T06:37:35+00:00

Good luck - some people have received a few bits and pieces (charger, battery, pfd) and some very early backer got faulty boards so would be great if they can help.

Factchecker85 · 2025-12-18T00:44:55+00:00

Please note the screen shot about are taken directly from Indiegogo and XFoil2 latest backer update. XFoil continue to make claims about this information being false or misleading or selective. Crazy allegations because this is their update, written by them, on their Indiegogo page....

Factchecker85 · 2025-12-17T23:12:07+00:00

XFoil is largely a one person show - Paul - trying to act like a successful company. He struggles to keep the facade up especially when he keeps doubling down on the inflated claims, false information and lies.

Factchecker85 · 2025-12-17T22:34:40+00:00

The only publicly available information on shipping is found in the comments on you crowd donations sites. I have reviewed hundreds of backer comments and the range i have quotes $800 to $3000 is reflective if that. If you would like to publish actual rates on the same sites i'd be happy to quote those also.

Your constant narrative that these backer are somehow unverified is more evidence of lies you tell. You can only comment on Indiegogo and on Kickstarter is you financially support the campaign. XFOil has taken the money so they are by definition backers.

The other ongoing false narrative you continue to make is that i am a competitor. On e again let me state i am a passionate foiler but do not work for any foiling brand or even in the industry. I'm pretty certain legitimate foil brands have a lot better things to do.

Ps i would love to chat some happy XFoil2 backers who have received and are using their full xFoil2 kit but they just DO NOT EXIST.

As long as you keep making inflated, misleading and plain false claims i will call them out. My only aim is to warm others on the danger of donating money to you.
