Helmet‑mic coaching and dedicated boards
Instructors use helmet‑mic coaching so every rider receives real‑time feedback, and each participant has their own board—an arrangement that guarantees consistent coaching and uninterrupted water time.
A focused 1.5‑hour session with one hour in the water
The lesson is structured to include a dry‑land safety briefing followed by uninterrupted riding: the schedule delivers 60 minutes of on‑water time per rider within a 1.5‑hour lesson window.
Built for groups—photos and debrief included
The experience is tailored to groups (4–10 people), with group photos and a debrief to wrap, plus additional coaches added as group size grows so riders don’t wait their turn.

What the session feels like
The lesson moves quickly from a beachside safety briefing into hands‑on coaching: riders don helmets with microphone coaching, mount their own boards, and spend a full hour riding the eFoil while instructors circulate and offer real‑time tips. The format keeps momentum up—minimal downtime, constant coaching, and a shared debrief and photo finish.
