We get the most joy out of sharing our love for eFoiling and the beauty of the Gulf and coastal dune lakes with everyone.

“David is an amazing instructor. He’s patient, knowledgeable, and personable. Honestly, I was a little nervous going into this, but he made the whole process easy and fun. I’ll absolutely be back on my next vacation.” - Mark

“Hamish is the best.  His attention to my questions and concerns showed a level of customer service that seems to be a lost art these days. If you want to learn about eFoiling and make a new friend along the way, I highly recommend giving them a call.” - Ryan
