WHAT TO EXPECT AS A
You can expect to have fun, for it to be easier than you thought, and to have an experience of planing on the water and foiling above the water. Learning Efoiling is easier than learning to surf, and on flat water with controllable power and speed, you will advance quickly.

We focus on refining feet positioning combined with gear speed use, and how to gain confidence turning. You will also move from the larger Fliteboard to the Pro and in some cases the Ultra board. If desired these lessons may lead to a dedicated efoil session in the surf. (Refer to the website for more info)
We focus on higher and lower speed turning, pumping and greater height control, the use of different wings, the more refined use of Flite controller gears and efoiling in the ocean and the Free glide prop.
