Hydrofoiling Lessons

We offer a range of lesson packages in the Port Stephens and Newcastle area to suit your needs.

Anchor 1

Lesson 1: Foundations

The first lesson will be in the flat waters of the bay.

 

Our lessons are conducted by boat with a minimum of two participants in rotation for 2 hours. If you are solo please get in touch as a third person is legally required in the vessel for safety.

Then onto the water! Your instructor will follow you in our boat. When you first start winging, you end up drifting very quickly with the wind, so it is extremely handy to have the boat there to drive you back up instead of undertaking a painstakingly long paddle.
