Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE DUO MOMENT

Learn Together, Cheer Each Other On

The EFOIL DUO format is designed for two people to progress side‑by‑side: you’ll share the laugh‑filled learning curve as instructors alternate personalized coaching so both riders spend substantial time on their own Fliteboards.

THE PREP

A Focused On‑Shore Orientation

Every lesson begins with a 30‑minute on‑shore orientation and instructional video that covers Fliteboarding fundamentals and safety procedures before you paddle out.

THE RIDE

An Hour of On‑Water Instruction

After the briefing, each pair receives one hour of on‑water coaching and riding time with instructors who offer tailored guidance as you practice efoiling and build confidence above the surface.
