What to expect
Expect a no-nonsense technical breakdown before you hit the water. Your instructor will walk through board positioning, weight distribution, and the exact moment when the foil lifts beneath you. You'll start in controlled conditions, progressively building confidence as your body learns the balance point. It's physical—your core and legs will work hard—but the progression is deliberate. By the end, you'll understand the mechanics well enough to recognise your own errors and correct them.
