Learning to ride a foil board starts with knowing what’s happening below the water. The hydrofoil is like an underwater airplane, so your balance and weight shifts feel different from twin-tips or surfboards. With almost zero drag, you’ll glide smoothly, point higher into the wind, and carry speed in lighter breeze.

Session flow:

1. Boat-tow practice – We tow you behind a boat so you can focus only on the foil board and balance—no kite to manage yet.

2. Add the kite – Once you’re comfortable, we launch a kite and bring both skills together.

You’ll learn to:

• Put the board on your feet smoothly

• Control lift and keep steady flight

• Stand up and rise above the water

• Extend ride time while foiling

• Strengthen your weak side

• Ride upwind and downwind on foil
