E-FOIL LESSONS IN SAN FRANCISCO

All gear included. No experience needed

Learn to Fly

$350/session/person • 90 minutes

Our lessons are the perfect pathway to e-foil independence. We have crafted a curriculum that includes teaching the physics of foiling, body mechanics, avoiding bad habits, and good old-fashioned practice.

Our instructors will work with you 1:1 or 1:2 to analyze your technique and offer corrections and feedback to gain confidence and fly.

There is absolutely no standard for how many lessons it will take. Experienced surfers and boarders can still take 3+ lessons to master e-foiling, whereas a total newbie might get in their first try. No expectations! No judgement!

  • Our lessons are for first-timers who want a safe, fast start. Active people who want a new thrill. Riders aiming for wing or kite foil and want foil skills first. Experienced riders must take a lesson before qualifying for memberships. We also offer advanced lessons for experienced riders looking to developing skills.

  • We currently have 10am listed Tuesday - Saturday for open bookings. We are able to consider other times if you simply ask. Just send us an email at info@dogpatchfoil.com with your preferred date and time and we’ll do our best to accommodate.
