The Easiest Way to Learn to Foil
The LIFT eFoil is an electric powered hydrofoil with a battery pack, motor, and wing built into it that allows you to fly above the water at the appropriate speed. No strings, no ropes, no limitations - just a wireless controller in your hand to control your power and the freedom to fly anywhere you'd like! Due to its consistent power and bigger board size, we’ve found the eFoil makes teaching anyone to hydrofoil easier than ever.
How Efoil Lessons Work
An eFoil lesson lasts two hours to allow time for instruction and riding and up to three people per eFoil may be on the boat taking turns learning. Batteries typically last 1.5 hours depending on the rider(s) weight(s) and usage during the lesson. We begin each lesson with a safety briefing, demonstrations on how to properly use the board, and then set you loose to ride! While you learn, we always have a pro coach in a boat by your side providing live tips and feedback. Our step-by-step process allows you to learn how to achieve sustained, controlled flight during the first lesson.
With groups larger than three, we can bring multiple eFoils so everyone gets a try. For the more advanced riders, we can take eFoil harbor tours and other adventures. If any charge remains on the battery after two hours, clients may extend into a third hour for an additional fee.
What is an eFoil
The eFoil was invented in late 2018 in Puerto Rico by LIFT who has built hydrofoils for years. The “e” in eFoil represents its lithium ion battery built into the board that powers an electric motor that provides propulsion. Below the drive unit, is a wing (or foil) that provides lift. Given enough speed, the wing generates enough lift to allow the board to break free of the water and you begin to fly along effortlessly like a magic carpet ride in powder. You steer the board by standing up using your body weight and adjust your speed using a handheld wireless Bluetooth remote to control the throttle.
Flying on any hydrofoil requires power. Whether it is the power of a wave to propel you, the power of a kite to catch the wind, or the power of a boat to pull you, a rider is confined in where they can go by their power source. The eFoil builds the source into the board and delivering consistent, smooth, and predictable power that can take you anywhere. Because the board is much bigger than a standard foil, it provides a more stable platform on which to stand confidently as you learn to fly in control. It's this combination that makes it easier to learn.
