Fly Over Lake Michigan: Fliteboard Lessons at Michigan City’s Indiana Dunes

At the northern edge of Indiana’s Lake Michigan shoreline, Michigan City’s Lake Shore Drive and the sweep of the Indiana Dunes provide an unusual stage for a modern kind of flight: two-hour Fliteboard lessons that lift you quietly above the water. Based at 3201 Lake Shore Dr, Michigan City, IN 46360, Flight Experience Lessons introduces riders age 12 and up to electric foil boards that require no wind and no wake, only a willing passenger and a bit of balance. Instructors keep groups small - up to three people per session - so you get focused coaching on safety, stance, and speed. The Fliteboard is market-leading in stability and responsiveness; sessions begin on the water with basic controls and short guided runs, then progress into longer glides as confidence grows. Most students are smiling within minutes. Lessons last two hours, and organizers ask participants to arrive at the meeting point 10 minutes early so briefings and equipment setup run smoothly. The operator name is not provided. The setting is part of the greater Indiana Dunes shoreline, where glacially formed sand dunes, beach grass, and limestone bluffs meet the freshwater expanse of Lake Michigan. Expect wide sandy beaches, low dune ridges, and the chance to spot migratory birds and occasional waterfowl. Indiana Dunes National Park, designated in 2019, is nearby and gives this stretch of coast extra recreational depth: kayaks, sailboats, and traditional beach days blend with the electric hush of foiling. Why book this? Flightboarding rewrites the learning curve for board sports. It’s accessible - participants as young as 12 can participate - and scalable, so beginners and experienced riders leave with something new. The equipment’s electric drive means lessons are emission-free and quiet, making for a more wildlife-friendly experience and one that fits comfortably alongside other low-impact recreation at the dunes. Operators can also transport boards to private beaches upon request, expanding where you can fly. Practical notes: wear a quick-dry swimsuit, reef shoes, and sun protection; check for hypothermia risk on colder days; and bring water. There is no wind requirement, but calm water helps first-time foilers. Book through the provided referral link to view availability and reserve a slot. Whether you come to chase the first glide or to add a new skill to your summer rotation, Flight Experience Lessons turns Lake Michigan’s shoreline into an open, quiet runway where water and tech meet in a clean, athletic rush. Parking and facilities at 3201 Lake Shore Dr are typical for a public beach - expect seasonal crowds and limited shade. Bring a small dry bag for phone and keys, a towel, and payment for incidentals. If you’re visiting the Indiana Dunes for a full day, pair a lesson with a short hike on nearby dune trails today.
