1:1 foil coaching · Boat support
Three hours of dedicated 1:1 hydrofoil coaching from IKO Examiner Matty Hurrell — from your first taxi runs to sustained flights above the water. The waiting-for-wind days are over.
Why hydrofoil
A hydrofoil creates so little drag that the board barely needs energy to move — which means dramatically less wind required. Ride upwind with style, glide silently, and open up a whole new world of light-wind days that would be unrideable on a twin-tip.
Ride 'n' Glide
Your coach will guide you through every step using the Slingshot Hover Glide foil paired with the Slingshot Alien Air board — the school set-up we've tested and refined to produce the fastest, safest progression on the water.
School flight-mast progression
You'll progress through a range of mast heights — starting short and low to the water for confidence, moving taller as you find your balance. This is the single biggest accelerator when learning to foil.
Backed up by the Zapcat
Once you're ready for prolonged glides, your coach will supervise from our Zenith Zapcat safety catamaran — so you can push further from the beach with full support close by.
Session structure
Spot assessment and foil terminology → carrying and entering the water → body-drag out and return → board on feet, taxi stage → first flights → touch-and-go on the short mast → controlled stops, basic and s-turns → dolphin pumping → toeside → your first jibe.
