find a answer reach out and let's talk.

Question 1: What is an eFoil?

An eFoil is an electric hydrofoil surfboard that uses a battery-powered motor and underwater wing to lift you above the water for a smooth, flying-like ride — no waves or wind needed.

Question 2: How does an eFoil work?

As the eFoil gains speed from the electric motor, the hydrofoil wing creates lift and raises the board above the water’s surface. You control speed and direction using a handheld wireless remote.

Question 3: Do I need water sports experience to learn?

No! You don’t need prior surfing or board sports experience, but you do need to swim well. Most first-time riders learn core skills quickly with our step-by-step instruction.

Question 4: Is eFoiling safe?

Yes! Safety is a priority. Lessons include instruction on safe operation, proper falling technique, and we provide required safety gear like life vests and helmets.

Question 5: What happens in a lesson?

We start on land with basic controls and safety, then progress through riding on your stomach, knees, and ultimately standing up and flying with support from our instructors.

Question 6: How long does it take to learn?

Many students stand and fly during their first lesson. Learning speed varies, but many riders gain confidence and short flights within the session. One thing is certain, you'll be having fun no matter how quickly you progress!

Question 7: How long does the battery last?

Battery life depends on weight of the rider, speed, and conditions, but typical ride times are around 2 hours per full charge for most riders.

Question 8: Does the remote float if I drop it?

Yes — the wireless remote floats and includes a wrist strap to prevent loss if you fall off the board.

Question 9: Are there age, weight, or other limits?

Riders must be able to swim comfortably. The age minimum is 12, and all minors must be accompanied by a guardian. Individual weight limits depend on board setup — contact us for details.

Question 10: What gear do I need to bring?

Bring swimwear, sunscreen, and a towel. We provide equipment and all safety gear. Dress for water and sun protection.

Question 11: Can I buy my own eFoil from you?

Yes! We’re an authorized SiFly eFoil dealer and can help you choose the right board bundle based on your skill level and riding goals.

Question 12: How fast does an eFoil go?

An eFoil typically reaches speeds of up to 30 mph (32–48 km/h), depending on the wing setup, rider weight, and water conditions. But most riders enjoy slower surf speeds in the range of 9-12mph (14-19 km/h).
