Experience the ultimate thrill on the water with eFoilgc Currumbin, the Gold Coast’s premier eFoiling school. Located on the stunning Currumbin coastline, eFoilgc invites you to discover the exhilarating sport of hydrofoiling — where your board effortlessly lifts above the water, giving you the sensation of flying.
Whether you’re a water sports enthusiast looking for your next challenge or a first-timer eager to try something unforgettable, eFoilgc offers expert instruction, top-quality equipment, and an experience you’ll remember forever.
Why Try eFoiling? The Sensation of Flight
eFoiling is a cutting-edge water sport that combines surfing, wakeboarding, and flying. Using a silent, electric-powered hydrofoil board, riders glide above the surface of the water with minimal effort. This creates a surreal and silent feeling of flying, often described as a mix between the effortless glide of snowboarding on fresh powder and the freedom of flying a drone. It requires no waves or wind, meaning you can “fly” in almost any conditions.
The eFoilgc Experience: Lessons & Pricing
eFoilgc is committed to a personalised, safety-first approach with one-on-one lessons to ensure you get the most out of your time on the water.
- Introductory Lessons: Perfect for beginners, these private lessons are typically 60–90 minutes of ride time and cost approximately $350. You’ll get step-by-step guidance on the fundamentals of eFoiling.
- Advanced Lessons: Already experienced? Take your skills further with carving, jumps, and freestyle tricks in a tailored lesson priced around $420.
- What’s Included: The lesson fee covers all premium safety gear, including a helmet with a two-way radio for real-time instruction and a Personal Flotation Device (PFD). All eFoiling equipment, including top-tier boards from brands like Fliteboard or Lift Foils, is also provided.
Learn to Fly: The Beginner’s Journey
Most beginners are surprised at how quickly they can get the hang of eFoiling. The learning curve is fast and rewarding, thanks to the stability of the boards and the expert instruction.
- Stage 1: Kneeling: Your first 15–30 minutes will be spent kneeling on the board, getting a feel for the throttle and how the board reacts to small movements.
- Stage 2: Standing: As you gain confidence, your instructor will guide you to a standing position, where you’ll practise balancing and controlling your speed on the water’s surface.
- Stage 3: Flying: Within your first hour, most people are able to get the board to lift out of the water and experience their first “flight.” While eFoil boards can reach speeds of up to 45 km/h, your instructor will keep you at a much more manageable speed of 10–15 km/h until you are confident.
Safety & Logistics
At eFoilgc Currumbin, safety is paramount. All participants must be confident swimmers.
- What to Wear: We recommend bringing swimwear and a rash guard for sun protection. In cooler weather, consider a wetsuit for extra warmth.
- Location & Conditions: The meeting point is on Duringan Street, Currumbin, on the creek side of the beach. For the best conditions, it’s highly recommended to book an early morning session when the water is at its calmest, making it perfect for beginners.
- Supervision: Throughout your session, a certified instructor will stay close by, providing real-time feedback via your helmet radio and ensuring a secure and enjoyable ride.
