Fliteboard recommends that first time riders have at least one lesson
with a certified Fliteschool. To find your nearest Fliteschool visit

Select a suitable riding location
A location with deep enough water is essential. The Wings and eFoil
should never make contact with anything below the surface, including
a sand bottom. Be aware of tide times, as well as submerged items
such as branches, coral, boat chains and fishing lines. If you are unsure
about the local area ask someone who knows the waterway for advice.
Be aware the board can be submerged with rider weight, reducing
clearance required.
Choose a location away from swimmers and other water users and
ensure local laws allow motorised craft to be used in the area.
Learning to Fliteboard in very smooth water without waves or strong
currents is SIGNIFICANTLY easier and safer than learning in choppy
water. Your first Fliteboard experience will be challenging (but
rewarding) so choose a location and weather conditions that allow for
the easiest possible learning experience.
Ride time and range are dependent upon:
— Rider weight
— Average speed
— Wing choice
— Water / wind conditions
ENSURING SAFE WATER DEPTH IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT BEFORE
RIDING. SELECT A LOCATION THAT IS HAS A MINIMUM DEPTH OF AT
LEAST 1.5 METRES.
ALWAYS MONITOR FLITECELL LEVELS WHILE RIDING AND TAKE CARE
NOT TO DEPLETE THE FLITECELL BEFORE RETURNING TO YOUR POINT
OF ORIGIN.
NEVER RIDE FLITEBOARD FURTHER FROM SHORE THAN YOU ARE
PREPARED TO SWIM BACK.
