Get Fliteboarding
Fliteboard recommends that first time riders have at least one
lesson with a certified Fliteschool.
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.
