Lesson Information

OC Foil tries to work all year round, however, we do understand that the weather plays a big part in getting out into the water. Having the tide change twice a day can make eFoiling difficult, especially in shallower waters. The perfect tide for a lesson would be on a high tide. Anything below a 1ft tide interacts with safety of the instructor and the learner. Thankfully, OC Foil can meet anywhere in the Orange County area, and with plenty of water, this shouldn't be a problem.

FAQs

- Will I need a wetsuit when foiling?

- We recommend a 3/2 wetsuit throughout the months of October-June. The rest of the year will require board shorts/ shorts and a long sleeve shirt (neoprene is best).

- Will I need a life jacket?

- Yes, it is mandatory to wear one of our USCG approved life jackets.

- Do I need to know how to swim when Efoiling?

- Yes, it is very important you know how to swim. This is because if you do fall off, you will be in and amongst the water, so it is necessary to know how to swim.

- Will I need to wear a helmet? 

- Our helmets are mandatory for all E foilers.

- How cold is the water? 

- The water temperature ranges between the low 60’s in the winter months to the mid 70’s in the spring/ summer.

- Does the hand controller float?

- Yes, If you drop the hand controller it’s not going to go far!
