On still water in the North Salt Lake area, a slender board and a hidden wing lift you above chop and wake alike; the Flite Board E-Foil uses a battery-driven motor and hydrofoil to convert surface tension into a near-silent, soaring glide. Lessons focus on rapid skill acquisition through expert, one-on-one instruction and leave riders with hours of solo time to practice the uncanny sensation of flight.

THE MACHINE

Flite Board E-Foil — electric, featherlight, fast

A battery-powered motor mated to a hydrofoil lets the board lift cleanly from the surface; riders control thrust with a Bluetooth handhold and can reach speeds in excess of 25 miles per hour for a true sense of speed and freedom.

THE TEACHING

One-on-one coaching to get you flying

Instruction comes from an experienced E-Foil coach who delivers focused, one-on-one lessons designed to accelerate progress so you spend the bulk of your session riding and refining your technique.

THE FEEL

Zero resistance — a floating sensation

Once on the foil the board offers near-zero surface resistance, producing a uniquely buoyant, almost silent glide that separates e-foiling from every other paddle- and motor-sport.

What the day feels like

How the session unfolds

Sessions combine targeted instruction with open-water practice: an initial coaching block gets you comfortable with balance, the Bluetooth throttle and foil dynamics, then remaining time is allotted for solo riding so you can stitch those skills together and chase speed and distance on your own.
