Learning to Fliteboard is different for everyone. We have seen experienced surfers foiling in five minutes or take three to four sessions before they can comfortably balance the eFoil. We have seen people with limited water sports experience get the hang of Fliteboard very quickly, and others that need a number of sessions and a few hours of practice. However most riders will be having fun instantly, as riding on the board, even when not foiling is rewarding. Similar to riding a bike, with practice, foiling becomes automatic. Experience balancing on a board of some kind will be a significant advantage. Fliteboard recommends lessons through an approved Fliteschool.
