The fastest way to build board skills — no kite, no wing, no waves to time. Just a steady, predictable tow from the ski while you learn to ride a hydrofoil, a twin-tip, a wakeboard or a surfboard.

The same lesson price covers one rider or two — bring a friend and split it.
We bring the foil and the board. Bring your own instead if you'd rather.
The Banana River — chop-protected and free of obstructions, so nothing is in your way.
We meet at the ramp in Merritt Island and cruise straight out to open water.
Every lesson price covers one or two people. Foil and board included.
one or two people
Enough to get towed up and riding, and to find out how the foil feels underneath you.
one or two people
The one most people take. Time to get comfortable, work both stances and start turning.

Learning to kite is really about marrying kite skills to board skills. Trying to build both at once is where most people get stuck — and where lesson money quietly disappears.
Riding behind the jetski takes the kite out of the equation entirely. You get open water free of obstructions and a steady, predictable pull, so you can put all of your attention on the board. Students without a board-sports background often pick up the kite faster than the board; this lesson is built to close that gap and save you time, money and frustration.
It works the same way for foiling. We can tow you on a hydrofoil, or on a twin-tip kiteboard, wakeboard or surfboard to dial in board skills first.
A great starting point for anyone who wants to ride a hydrofoil, and a solid foundation for every kind of foiling that comes after it.
We provide the foil and the board.
A hydrofoil is a lifting surface that works in water. It looks and behaves much like an aerofoil on an aircraft, except the lift is generated in water instead of air. As the foil picks up speed beneath the board it lifts you clear of the surface.
With almost no drag you get more speed, better angles upwind, the ability to ride ocean swell — and a feeling closer to riding a magic carpet than anything else on the water.
There are no real prerequisites to get pulled behind the jetski on a kiteboard, wakeboard or surfboard — teaching you the board skills is the whole point.
For a hydrofoil lesson, some prior board experience is highly recommended: kiteboarding, surfing, wakeboarding, paddleboarding or snowboarding all count. We teach foil lessons on a buoyant paddleboard to make it as easy as possible. Students with decent board skills typically take one to two lessons to feel comfortable with the sensation of foiling.
A hydrofoil lesson from start to finish.
Where it goes next — surfing swell and learning to pump.
Once you can ride the foil behind the ski, the tow rope stops being the point. Pumping lets you keep the foil flying under your own power, and from there you can link swell in the ocean without a kite, a wing or a motor.
That’s the goal for a lot of our students — and it starts with the board time you build on this lesson.
Every participant must complete the online waiver before the lesson.
Most lessons meet at Kelly Park East after payment is made. From the ramp it is a short cruise to the open, chop-protected water of the Banana River.
