About This Adventure

Private eFoil lesson flying above the Big Islands crystal clear waters.

Your 90-minute lesson will take you from prone - to standing - to flying over the crystal clear waters of the Big Island. Our Fliteboards are powered by an electric motor, no need to pump your legs like a regular foil board. This allows you the freedom to glide over the water. Our instructors work one-on-one with you on land and on the water to get you flying in your first session. You will begin your lesson on the beach for land instruction & safety overview followed by 1 hour of water instruction. Your instructor will be able to work with you throughout your time on the water for further coaching. Once you return to the shore your instructor will review some of your favorite parts of your session, and what skills you can work on before your next session, as well as inspect your equipment for any damages. Board insurance is available to add to your session.

Lesson Timeline:

  • 30 minutes of land instruction and safety review. All boards are inspected before entering the water.
  • 60 minutes of water flying and instruction. Staff will touch base individually with students to coach them on their direct needs.

*The remainder of the time is spent on land reviewing the session and what skills you can work on before your next lesson. Boards will be inspected again to ensure no damage has occurred.
