What on earth is an E-Foil? It's the most fun you can have on the water, with the least amount of effort. Taking away the guess work of how to propel yourself in the water, means you can focus on the important stuff, learning how to control the board. Being in control of the board means you can be confidently flying above the water, making turns and having a blast in no time at all. You’ll surprise yourself at how quickly you’ll be in the air.

Typically, a beginner foiler would start out by being towed behind a boat, with the ambition of paddling yourself into waves or looking to the wind to get you going. With the Lift E-foil, you are being propelled by an electronic motor. You’re in complete control of how fast you go, meaning you can build up speed as and when you feel comfortable. Not only is it an incredible feeling flying above the waters surface, it’s the perfect way to progress into other foiling disciplines. Or simply, just enjoy the feeling of gliding over the water.

E-foil technology has evolved significantly in recent years and now we're able to offer you the best possible experience, with the top of the line Lift E-foil's landing at Rip Curl School of Surf. It's never been easier to try foiling.

If you can master the foil, you can catch waves that others can only dream about. The placement of the hydro foil beneath the water means that your drag on the water disappears once you are in the air. Waves need next to no power to pick you up and you can see what all the fuss is about when you are the only one in the line up.If your ambition is to try prone, SUP, wind wing or even kite foiling. We can also advise you on the best path forward to progress, we have courses for everything and all the relevant equipment in stock at our Sanur location. E-foiling is the easiest way to understand the dynamics of foiling.

LEVEL 1 - GETTING GOING

You will learn : HOW DOES AN E-FOIL TAKE OFF, BODY POSITIONING AND TURNING BASICS, HOW TO STAND UP and THROTTLE CONTROL.

Using a wireless controller in your hand, simply pull the trigger and away you go. Our experience's include on land training and a safety briefing to ensure you not only have the most fun but you do so safely. You'll start out with basic board control, learning what the board wants to do when you lean, what happens when you increase the speed and most importantly, what happens when you want to get off. Our instructors won’t be far away from you on a nearby boat, so when you're ready for the next steps, they'll be able to guide you through turns, elevation, when to stand and where to place your feet.

You’ll be sharing the board with one other person in the lesson, so there’s time for a break in the session, a moment to take in what you’ve learned and a pause to listen to the instructor for tips on what to do next.

Note - Even if you’ve foiled before we still recommend LEVEL 1 because there is a staged progression to learning how to stand on the board that we won’t cover comprehensively in LEVEL 2. Get the basics beforehand, maximise the enjoyment.

LEVEL 2 - MASTERING ALTITUDE AND TURNING

You will learn : TURNING, BODY POSITIONING, POWER CONTROL AND PITCH CONTROL.

Building on your experience from LEVEL 1, you can keep practicing the basics, or if you’re happy with board control and moving around with ease, we recommend going straight to LEVEL 3. However if you’re looking for more understanding of the dynamics of E-foiling and to build up your skills, build up your confidence with LEVEL 2. Once you’re confident that you understand what the board wants to do when you move your body around on it, that’s when you can start working on the body position and how it impacts the board. Increasing the power also means that you will now be going faster and the board will be flying sooner (as speed makes it lift), air time means learning time. Once the board is out of the water and the mast is skating through the waters surface, you’ll quickly realise how tiny movements make a big difference. Practice makes perfect and the more time you have in the air, the more comfortable you’ll feel.

LEVEL 3 - HARNESSING THE POWER

You will learn - ALTITUDE CONTROL, ADVANCED TURNING and SPEED.

There are 15 power settings to the Lift E-Foil motor, the goal of LEVEL 3 isn’t to increase the speed but to perfect control. The key to controlling the board is understanding what the trigger does to your speed but more importantly how your body position affects your altitude. Learning how to pitch the board is a directly transferable skill, that corresponds to pumping on conventional foils. Pumping means propulsion when you don’t have a motor. Controlling pitch also gives you more control in your turns, as you lean the board over you’ll learn how to get big wide turns down to tighter, more acute angles. Fundamentally it comes back to enjoyment, staging your progression means you know what to do and you know where you’re going. When looking to take your foiling to the waves, this understanding will directly correlate to your ability to take on the swell.

Upon completion of the LEVEL 3 course, we can now start looking to get you on some waves on a conventional foil board. It’s up to you whether that’s continuing your E-foil journey or jumping behind the boat or looking to wind power!

THREE DAY COURSE - Take it to the waves! 

Looking for a customised experience, the Lift E-Foil is the best way to start your foiling journey. Book onto the three day course and we'll assess your progress as you work your way through the lessons. As it's a private course, you'll have one to one coaching and the instructor will be able to work with you on the specific aspects of foiling that you're interested in. Then, when you're ready, we have all the equipment necessary to work on your desired discipline. Whether that be SUP foiling, WING foiling, TOW foiling or PRONE foiling. 

LITTLE RIPPERS

We offer a similar experience for little rippers between the ages of (13-18), this condensed experience is designed as a taster session on a smaller board. Designed with safety and technique in mind. This is to ensure satisfactory control for optimum safety, we use lower power settings and operate one on one with an instructor directly with the student. Once this course is completed, with a waiver signed by a parent or guardian the LEVEL 1,2 and 3 courses will be made available for ages 13+.

If you’ve completed a course we also offer promotions for tow foiling, SUP foiling or kite foiling. So get in touch with reservations for current offers or have a look at the check out for current promotions.

We can also tailor individual packages for people looking for a private experience or ambition of advancing to a specific foiling discipline.

Additional time can be purchased on the day at exclusive prices pending availability when you have booked online. Packages are also available when booking multiple sessions, so have a look at the check out to determine which suits you.
