What to expect

Your First E-Foil Lesson

Prerequisites

There are no prerequisites for an e-foil lesson besides being able to swim. Please let us know if you have any major health issues.

E-foiling is surprisingly user-friendly and pretty much anyone can learn. As long as you can get to your feet from your stomach and knees, you have the ability to learn. Everyone learns at a different rate — and e-foiling is fun even while riding on your stomach or knees. It’s always a good idea to stretch in preparation for a lesson.

What’s Next

After you master the 5′4″ Cruiser, come back and practice on the 4′9″ Sport — a lighter, more maneuverable board. We can take you out for as many sessions as you’d like.

When you’re ready to buy your own e-foil, let us know. We’re an authorized LIFT affiliate and can help get a $250 discount applied toward your purchase. These machines range from roughly $9,000 to $14,000.

This spot is excellent for e-foiling and is home to a frequently visiting dolphin family. You can grab a great breakfast or lunch while you’re there. Plan on meeting at Grills Riverside unless told otherwise.

About the LIFT eFoil

As the creators of the original eFoil, LIFT is the leader of this new sport. They combined the modern technology of electric vehicles with a decade of hydrofoil design and expertise; the result is an elegant and sophisticated ride. The eFoil is no longer a dream or a prototype — LIFT has been in full production for over four years and has delivered thousands of units around the world.

How does an e-foil work?

The hydrofoil wing creates lift in the water as speed increases from the propulsion motor. The motor is powered by a large lithium battery that can last up to an hour and a half. Speed and power are controlled by a wireless Bluetooth remote you hold in your hand. Once basic throttle skills are acquired, the speed creates enough lift for the board to come out of the water. Basically, it’s a magic carpet. Come take a ride.

Our Fleet

We teach on the LIFT 5 — 5′4″ Cruiser with the large 300 front wing. We also have a 4′9″ Sport with the new Camber Pro wing to demo once proper skills are acquired. We’ll teach you all about the boards, wings, remote, maintenance and batteries.

Does eFoiling Help Your Surf or SUP Foiling?

There is no question that riding an eFoil has helped my foiling in all other disciplines. No matter how many videos you watch or forums you read, there is no substitute for repetition if you want to advance your skills. Riding an eFoil is exactly that — with the added benefit of being incredibly fun in itself. It provides the foiling experience for an extended time while allowing your body to build the necessary muscle memory. It takes away the element of having to catch a wave or harness the wind. You are in control of your speed.

The weight of the battery and board is different from what you experience on a prone or SUP setup, but that makes those lighter boards feel even more lively when you switch. I look at it like a baseball player swinging a weighted bat before stepping up to the plate.

When I was learning to wingsurf, I struggled with riding the foil in my switch stance. During some eFoil lessons I started playing around with it, and after a couple of sessions it felt natural. That was a game changer — my next wingsurf session was much smoother because my body just seemed to know what to do. Foiling is foiling, and riding an eFoil will definitely help all other hydrofoiling disciplines.
