Fliteboard Gold Coast
Fliteboard Gold Coast operates from Surfers Paradise, Queensland, offering electric foil board experiences, equipment rentals, and private instruction. The business provides a range of options including Flitecell rentals for existing Fliteboard owners, Flitescooter rentals (suitable for ages 16 and up), one-on-one private lessons, and a 2-hour guided eFoiling experience.
Sessions take place on the calm canals and waterways of the Gold Coast, where electric foil boards allow riders to glide quietly above the water independent of wind or waves. Private lessons focus on personalized instruction to build confidence and skills for riders at all levels. Rentals provide access to Flitecell power units and Flitescooters for those who want to try foiling without purchasing equipment.
Fliteboard Gold Coast is listed on The Adventure Collective, making its offerings discoverable to travelers researching adventure activities on the Gold Coast. The business emphasizes safe, guided introduction to eFoiling, with options for short experiences or focused private instruction. Visitors to Surfers Paradise can select rentals or lessons to suit experience level, group size, and timing preferences. All descriptions and bookings should be confirmed directly with Fliteboard Gold Coast and referenced listings for current availability, age requirements, and safety guidelines.

Bring the right propeller
You must bring a Fliteboard fitted with a True Glide, folding propeller, or Jet2 eFoil—lessons assume you own compatible gear.
Morning windows are best
Arrive for early sessions when offshore flow and cleaner swell lines make unpowered riding more consistent and safer.
Wear protection
Helmet, impact jacket, and leash are mandatory; the operator can provide them if needed—don’t skip safety gear.
Short shore briefings matter
Pay attention to pre-session briefings on tides and set patterns—small sandbar shifts change wave entry angles quickly.
