River Flight: A Family Efoil Session on Urunga’s Calm Water.

Highlights
Outing Highlights
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.
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.
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.

Details to review before reserving
Sessions run for two hours; boards remain in use while battery levels are above 20% (in practice batteries generally last beyond the scheduled time).
Come prepared for a river session — wear swimwear or quick-dry clothing appropriate for getting wet and bring sun protection and a towel; discuss any special needs for young children with the operator so staffing and kit can be arranged.
One board per person is the standard for this package; additional hire options such as stand-up paddle boards, canoes and surfboards are available to include family members who won’t efoil.
Review cancellation policies before reserving.
