My husband and I are avid Lift eFoilers and decided to try it out in Biscayne bay while we were in the neighborhood. What a delight!
We called to verify how they worked as we had some businesses say the rental was for one battery vs a specific amount of ride time. We spoke with Cody who assured us it was for time and not a battery's worth of capacity.
We arrived and everything was assembled and ready to go. We were obliged to listen to a safety briefing and explanation of how the foils worked - fair enough. I've seen people get into trouble sailing sunfish after claiming they knew how. After about 20 minutes we launched into the warm water and idled out of the mooring area. A short ride later we were in open water and the conditions were perfect.
We zoomed around for about a half hour during which I received instruction and my husband slalomed around. His battery was then about 30% and instead of swapping in a new one, we exchanged boards. This worked fine as I and the instructor both had plenty of battery left.
After about 90 minutes of riding with short breaks, we headed in and rinsed off at the available hose.
The equipment was good. The instructor, Cody, was professional and we had a great time!
Always ask about the battery policy as there was some confusion. It worked out for us as we could swap boards and we all ran on the minimum speed setting the whole time. read more
