5-Day Foil Intensive

This is where foiling starts to feel like yours.

Your second two hours build directly on everything from Lesson 1. The focus shifts from simply getting up on foil to feeling genuinely comfortable up there — smoother, more in control, and starting to move the board with intention rather than just hanging on.

What we cover:

• Rail-to-rail carving — learning to shift your weight from edge to edge and guide the board through turns without losing height or confidence
• Controlled S-turns — linking left and right carves together so your riding starts to flow rather than feeling like a series of separate moments
• Pumping out of turns — using the momentum of each carve to generate speed and keep yourself flying, reducing your reliance on the throttle

Your instructor will build on what they already know about you from Lesson 1, pushing you further where you're ready and ironing out any habits that could hold you back later.

Prerequisites: Lesson 1 must be completed before booking this session.

Less motor. More you.

By Lesson 3 you've got the foundations locked in — now we start pushing what you can do with them. You're still on the efoil, but the session is dialled up. We'll swap out your setup for a more progressive configuration — a more agile front & back wing that rewards precise weight shifts over leaning on power.

What we cover:

• Wing and mast progression — understanding why equipment changes matter and how a different setup opens up new possibilities in your riding
• Reducing motor reliance — learning to generate and maintain flight through weight shifts and early pump mechanics rather than throttle
• Open water riding — where conditions allow, we'll find some open water swell so you start to get a feel for how foiling changes near moving water — a taste of what's coming in later lessons
• Reading foil feedback — the new setup is more responsive, so we work on feeling what the foil is telling you and reacting naturally rather than overcorrecting

Prerequisites: Lessons 1 and 2 must be completed before booking.

This is what it's all been building towards.

Lesson 4 brings everything together and takes it somewhere new — Woolacombe Beach. You'll make the transition from efoil to your first prone foiling session on a Flitelab board, a refined prone setup with a built-in jet assist to help you into waves while you're finding your feet in real ocean conditions.

What we cover:

• Getting to know the Flitelab — how the board feels underfoot compared to the efoil, how the built-in jet assist works, and how to use it to get into waves cleanly without fighting the ocean
• Reading swell — learning to spot and position yourself for the right waves, understanding how energy moves through the water and where to be when it arrives
• Assisted take-offs — using the jet to bridge the gap between paddling power and foil flight, getting you onto clean swell lines and building confidence in a real surf environment
• Unpowered gliding — once you're up, the jet steps back. This is your first taste of true unassisted foiling —linking with the energy of the wave and going where it takes you

Prerequisites: Lessons 1, 2 and 3 must be completed before booking.

Lesson 5 — The Double Dip

There's a milestone in foiling that changes everything — the first time you pump off one wave, glide across the flat, and connect onto the next one without ever touching the water. That's the double dip, and Lesson 5 is built around getting you there.

What we cover:

• Wave linking — learning to look ahead while you're riding, spotting the next wave early and positioning yourself to connect rather than kick out and paddle back
• Timing and anticipation — reading how sets move through the lineup, understanding when to pump hard and when to let the foil breathe, and developing the instinct that separates intermediate riders from advanced ones
• The double dip — putting it all together. Your instructor will be reading the ocean alongside you, calling the moments and coaching you through until it clicks

This is where foiling stops being a series of lessons and becomes a lifestyle. Once you've connected two waves, you'll understand why people never stop chasing this feeling.

Prerequisites: Lessons 1 through 4 must be completed before booking.
