THE PROGRESSION

Land-to-water instruction

Lessons begin with theory and technique on land — covering pumping for energy and edge control — then transition directly to on-water practice so skills are reinforced immediately.

THE SKILLS

Dock starts, foot placement and pumping

Under guided practice you’ll work on dock starts, landing on the board, finding correct foot position and pumping to build rhythm and efficient transitions.

THE COACHING

Personalized, expert instruction

The format emphasizes one-on-one technical coaching so each rider receives tailored feedback to refine technique and build confidence on the foil.

What the lesson feels like

The hour unfolds as a tight, purposeful progression: a focused land briefing on pumping mechanics and edge control, hands-on drills to establish stance and board entries at the dock, then on-water repetitions that emphasize pumping rhythm, carving the wake and fluid transitions under direct instructor supervision.
