kneeling position. Keep a consistent throttle and make a few turns and
get comfortable.
• Maintain consistent throttle and slowly transition from kneeling to
standing.
• Adopt a wide stance square with the front of the board for additional
stability. It’s critical to shift your weight forward as the board
accelerates. This is true for any riding position—prone, kneeling, or
standing.
• Do not rush eFoiling—this process takes practice and it is important to
stay safe.
• While the throttle controls speed, weight distribution controls the
elevation of the eFoil.
• Practice doing “touch and go’s” by easing onto the eFoil and shifting
weight back while at sufficient speed, then slightly letting off the
throttle while shifting weight forward to bring the board back down to
the surface of the water.
• Never venture out past what you are not able to swim. Ride with a
partner for added safety.
• Bailing is a critical part of learning to foil. There’s a big difference
between purposefully bailing out (which puts distance between the
rider and the eFoil) and uncontrollably falling, which can lead to injury.
• When losing control of the board, use the last bit of balance to bail
out and create distance between yourself and the board.
WARNING: Always bail to the sides or back of the Lift eFoil, NEVER toward
the front.
• Always turn off the hand controller while swimming back to the board
to avoid pressing the trigger. Once safely back on the board, turn the
hand controller back on.
• Always keep all body parts clear from the propeller.
If you’re a first-time eFoiler make sure to book a demo session at any of
