Of course, this really depends on the individual rider,
their skills and their learning curve, but in general we
think average riders who follow the course material
and use our Flight School package and Hover Glide Foil,
will be up and riding confidently with a full-sized mast
and will have the skills to start learning tacks, gibes
and transitions.
The course features some amazing advanced content
as well, but for the most part that is designed as a teaser,
or motivator, to highlight what is possible with foiling.
The step-by-step instruction we provide is aimed
at teaching the basics and getting riders foiling confidently
as quickly and safely as possible.
Beyond the basics, it’s time on the water, repetition
and developing muscle memory that will take riders to
the next level.

a brand perspective, we see a couple direct benefits to
providing the course to anyone who wants it, for free.
