Ground Training & Safety Brief

Safety, safety, safety. Like it or not, all lessons begin with safety. Sure, you could show up with the latest Wisconsin boater's regulation pamphlet committed to memory, but with E-foiling, there are things that neither the government nor your mother have yet to warn you about. All students will be made aware of hazards on, in, and above the water... of ALL types, be they seen and unforeseen.

"House Call" Lesson Sessions

Some people are more comfortable in their own homes... but the same can be said for lakes. Maybe you know your waters down to every lily pad, cattail, stone, and stump, and would like to try E-foiling with a "home field advantage", so to speak. Maybe you've got guests that you'd like to treat and host. Whatever the reason, NorthWoods E-foils does make house calls.

"One on One" Singles Sessions

Are you shy? A perfectionist? Short on time? An undecided buyer trying to hone in on equipment brands and gear? Frustrated in dealing with a more dynamic group lesson? A lonely trendsetter that couldn't find a companion with your sense of adventure? Whatever the reason you are learning alone, maybe a "one on one" singles E-Foiling lesson would be best for you if sharing time with other students just isn't on your radar.

"Free-for-all" Group Sessions

Let's face it: sometimes trying to attain some measure of cohesion in group activities is like herding cats... or maybe fish. People learn at different rates, have different levels of stamina, and exhibit different interests. While we can commit to giving all students equal time and attention, group lessons offer ample flexibility where less structure might prove to benefit all students participating.

"Tag Team" Couples Sessions

"Tag Team" lessons aren't just for professional wrestlers, for codependently enmeshed persons, or romantically involved couples, they actually have some practical advantages. By taking turns with another student, you'll get to learn from their mistakes away from the E-foil, and apply what you've learned when it's your turn. Board sharing and taking turns also gives you time to rest and reflect between tries.

"Explorer" Touring Sessions

Because every ride on an E-foil is a lesson in and of itself, "touring" lessons are offered for those wanting to practice their foiling without a whistle-blasting coach telling them to do much of anything. For those that could check their heavy E-foil gear with their luggage as they traveled to the Wisconsin, NorthWoods E-foils is offering a way to give them back their freedom... even though the ride is chaperoned.
