Safety
How safe are Fliteboards?
Do I have to go 45kmph to eFoil?
No. In fact, eFoiling is entirely possible and much more fun at slower speeds. Generally, eFoiling occurs at around 15-20 km/h. Our instructor is with you every step of the way and you can find your own comfortable speed.
What if I am not the best swimmer?
Our instructor is with you every step of the way. Life jackets are provided. Fliteboards are also very buoyant and are easily used as a flotation device when stationary.
F.A.Q
Will I get exactly 1.5 hours ride time?
Do I have to bring anything along for the Flite?
No. Everything is provided. Only a towel, some sunblock, and a sense of adventure is needed!
Can I Take Photos or Videos?
No. You cannot bring any devices with you when learning to Flite Board. It is very important that your focus is on the learning and the actual experience of foiling.

Fliteschool Manly Stats
Our instructors’ goal is to get you foiling on your first Fliteschool experience. Unlike kiteboarding, snowboarding, or skiing, the learning curve is far easier, with greater reward. Even for those with no previous water sports experience we can get you foiling with a focus on safety whilst building your confidence and skills. If you are in the water and not flying above it, we are not doing our job properly! Take a look at some of the stats of previous riders.
