EFoils are my new favorite watersport!! Bryan and his kids were fantastic instructors. The set-up is so cool, with intercom systems in the helmets, so the instructors can give you step-by-step instructions and tips while you're on the water. Of all the water sports I've tried and taught others to do, this one was the easiest to get the basic skills down. Each one of us were standing on the board within the first 5 minutes. Now, mastering getting up on the foil and maintaining balance took quite a bit longer, which is why I came back the next day. By the end of the second day session, with no further instruction and on a smaller board, I could jump right up on the board and smoothly get up on the foil, stay there a bit and then control it back down without crashing (most of the time). I'm saying all this to give everyone the idea that YOU CAN DO IT! We had 8 of us over 2 days sharing 2 boards (don't worry, you need breaks anyways every 20-30 minutes when you're learning). Some of us tired out quicker, but every one of us gained a comfort with getting up on the board, getting up on the foil and then back down. It's so amazing! It feels like flying when you get up on the foil! read more

Southwest Foils - Surf Schools Near Me

Brain and his delightful daughter offered a fantastic end to our family trip to Durango. His recommendation to start in the morning was spot on and as he described, smooth as glass and quiet. Although the water temp was warm for Colorado, he offered a wetsuit which made my foiling all the better. His e-foils were in great shape and fully charged. Thanks Brian for the memorable experience and when I'm ready to purchase, you'll be the one I contact. read more
