Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE SKY

Tandem freefall from 7,500 feet

The skydive portion delivers the classic tandem rush: a roughly 45‑second freefall that can approach 200 km/h followed by about a five‑minute canopy glide during which you’ll learn to manage direction and descent under the parachute.

THE WATER

Private, progressive eFoil instruction

The eFoil lesson is delivered one‑on‑one and tailored to your mobility and control. It moves from a short introduction to on‑board positioning and transitions, then into an extended on‑water session where you practice lying, kneeling and standing with instructor guidance.

THE PACKAGE

A concentrated two‑sport experience

This complete experience combines skill acquisition on an eFoil with the visual and visceral high of a tandem skydive — structured so you get instructional time on the water and an unforgettable aerial finish.

What the day feels like

What the day feels like

You’ll move from focused, technical coaching on the eFoil—brief classroom explanation and board work, then hands‑on progression in the water—into the visceral, short‑duration intensity of a tandem skydive. The package is designed to balance instruction and exposure: skill building on the water followed by a compact, full‑throttle jump over the Gold Coast.
