Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE FAMILY

A package built for families and small groups

The family package is aimed at groups and families wanting a shared river experience, with one board per person and options to accommodate young children so everyone can be included in the outing.

THE RIVER

Flat-water foiling where learning is easier

On calm river water you can expect a gentler learning curve than the surf: controlled power, predictable speeds and a clear progression from lying down to kneeling to standing and foiling.

THE LEARN

Structured instruction across skill levels

Sessions guide beginners through an introductory 10-minute briefing and progressive water time, while intermediate and advanced riders refine foot placement, turning and speed control.

What the day feels like

What the session feels like

The two-hour session moves from a short on-land introduction into guided water time where you progress naturally from lying and kneeling to standing and then foiling; instruction is hands-on and paced so families and mixed-ability groups can advance together.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this session suits and when to consider alternatives.

1
Active familiesA strong match — the package is designed for family groups and provides options (SUPs, canoes, surfboards) to include younger or non-foiling family members so everyone shares river time.
2
BeginnersWell suited: beginners receive a focused 10-minute intro and staged water time that makes initial foiling easier than learning to surf on flat water with controlled power.
3
Children under 10Conditional fit: under-10s can be given assisted rides in the right circumstances and, if assisted, are not charged — talk to the operator to arrange suitable supervision and equipment.
4
Intermediate to advanced ridersFits riders wanting technical progression: intermediate and advanced focuses refine foot placement, turning and speed control and may include moves to Pro/Ultra boards or surf-based efoil sessions.
