Do I need surfing or board-sport experience?
No. Lessons are structured for beginners. Balance-sport experience can help, but it is not required.
What equipment is provided, and what should I bring?
We provide everything you need on the water: top-of-the-line Lift eFoil equipment, a Coast Guard-approved life jacket (PFD), a helmet with built-in waterproof radio communication, and a wetsuit if needed. All you need to bring is a swimsuit, towel, sunscreen, and water!
Where do lessons take place?
On suitable sections of the James River in the Richmond area. The exact location is chosen based on conditions, access, rider needs, and operating permissions.
What happens if weather or river conditions are poor?
Safety and ride quality come first. Sessions may be moved, rescheduled, or cancelled when conditions are unsuitable.
How difficult is eFoiling?
Most riders can learn useful board control in their first session. Full standing flight varies by rider, conditions, and session length.
Can I buy a gift lesson?
Yes. Contact us with the recipient and preferred timeframe, and we will arrange the details.
