Is your family ready to learn something new? Take an eFoil lesson!
eFoils (short for electric-powered hydrofoil surfboards) have multiple settings, which make it great for beginners. eFoils can go up to 25mph and are steered with a wireless hand controller which shuts off if you lose your balance, so no worries about a runaway surfboard. Also, they don’t make much noise so it’s a great way to see wildlife!
Schedule your first eFoiling lesson with with XL Kites! Your instructor will bring everything you need and teach you the ropes.
Local Scout Tip
Not sure if you are ready for efoil? Check out knee boarding, wakeboarding, or wake surfing to get your feet wet to board sports.
