Group Lessons

On the southern shore of Lake Michigan, where wind-sculpted sand meets a wide freshwater horizon, Flightboard Group Lessons at 3201 Lake Shore Dr in Michigan City deliver four hours of electric-foil excitement for parties, families, and teams. This guided group experience brings three Flightboards, multiple batteries, and instructors to a stretch of beach framed by the glacial sand dunes and prairie edges of the Indiana Dunes region, offering an uncommon way to feel airborne over calm surf. The scene here is elemental: open water, a long sand shelf, and grasses that slow the wind before it reaches the shoreline.

Riders learn to balance on a motorized board that lets you lift above chop at low speeds, trading the noise of a classic jet ski for a quiet, almost hovering sensation. Lessons are paced for mixed-ability groups, with coaches managing rotations so up to ten guests can ride across a four-hour window; larger groups are handled via custom bookings. This operation stands out because it brings the tech to the beach—ideal for corporate team building, anniversary parties, and family reunions—paired with a relaxed beach base where people can rest between runs.

Instructors supply batteries, chargers, and hands-on coaching so riders spend minimal time waiting. The company will also bring boards to your preferred public beach, making it simple to pair foil time with a picnic, a local brewery run, or a coastal hike. Practicalities are straightforward: arrive at the meeting point ten minutes before the start time, bring swimwear and a towel, and expect a blend of on-water instruction and guided practice.

Minimum age is 12, and groups are capped at ten unless a custom package is arranged. The address — 3201 Lake Shore Dr, Michigan City, IN 46360, USA — places you within easy reach of lodging and the visitor services that orbit Indiana Dunes National Park, which gained national park status in 2019. Why choose this experience while visiting the dunes? The combination of fresh Lake Michigan air, accessible flightboard technology, and the dramatic glacial dune landscape creates a memorable learning environment where progress is rapid and spectacle is constant.

For someone wanting to trade a standard beach day for a hands-on, high-adrenaline group adventure, these lessons are an efficient and scenic way to get airborne over the Midwest’s Great Lake. Book well in advance during summer weekends to secure a preferred time block, and confirm wind and wave conditions on the morning of your lesson—calm conditions make for the smoothest foil runs. Bring sunscreen, a refillable water bottle, and a light wind layer for shore breaks.

Whether you’re planning a birthday, a company outing, or a weekend with friends, these group lessons convert hours into an unforgettable celebration.
