Downwind SUP Foil
Are you ready to take your foil boarding into the Columbia River Gorge on a downwind SUPfoil?

Hydro Foil 101
Foundation Lesson
Starting behind a personal watercraft or on an efoil board using tested and high-quality gear along with Dan’s instruction gives each participant the maximum chance of learning to foil on the first session. Using larger foils and slow speeds each participant gets a chance to master the basics of keeping the board “on foil”. By the end of the lesson, participants should be ready to start learning on their own or choose to take foil 2.0 if their goal is to SUP Paddle Foil into waves or downwind conditions.
