Experience aerial freedom gliding across Austin's waters and take your e-foil skills to the next level with the help of our expert instructors.
For us, hydrofoiling was love at first glide. Combining aerospace engineering with cutting-edge water sports technology, hydrofoils bring the elusive sensation of surfing to any body of water. As the foil wing lifts you above the surface of the water, it truly feels like flying!
At Foil Texas, we live and breathe hydrofoiling. Our certified instructors are passionate pros who love to share this sport with new people. We're committed to building a welcoming community where foilers of all experience levels can progress their skills and connect with fellow adventure seekers.
We carry a wide range of state-of-the-art Foil boards, offering larger wings for stability and ease of learning and smaller, high-aspect wings for speed and advanced maneuvers. Even beginners can master the skill of hydrofoiling through our expert instruction and training sessions. After a brief overview on the land, you'll dive into the warm Austin waters to start practicing!
Before hitting the water, you'll learn the fundamentals of hydrofoiling in our comprehensive ground school.
Gain an understanding of the equipment, safety protocols, body positioning, and hydro-dynamics.
Your first position on the hydrofoil will have you cruising around while facing forward on your belly. This allows you to get comfortable balancing and maneuvering the foil close to the water's surface.
The next phase is mastering riding the board while kneeling. You'll practice transitioning from prone to a kneeling stance, improving your stability while gradually increasing your speed on the water.
Once you've dialed in your kneeling form, it's time to attempt standing fully upright on the hydrofoil. With some extra concentration you can begin to skip like a stone, foiling around 1-3 feet above the lake.
Our group hydrofoil lessons provide a fun, social environment to learn in, but we also understand some riders prefer one-on-one instruction tailored specifically to their needs. With this in mind, Foil Texas offers both group and private training sessions.
For those looking to pick up hydrofoiling in an exciting yet affordable group setting, Foil Texas offers comprehensive small-group lessons. Surrounded by fellow adventure-seekers, you'll benefit from knowledgeable instruction and feed off each other's energy and encouragement.
With private lessons, you'll receive our instructor's undivided attention and customized coaching focused solely on your form, technique, and skill advancement. This personalized approach allows you to progress at your own pace, repeatedly drilling the fundamentals or moving on to more advanced maneuvers based on your comfort level.
At Foil Texas, we prioritize your safety and skill development above all else. To ensure you have a proper foundation we require all riders to complete at least two introductory training sessions before taking our equipment out on your own.
Foil boards are powered by an efficient direct-drive motor, allowing for a smooth and industry-leading ride time of over 3 hours
