-
Are there any special safety precautions students should be aware of?No alcohol: Under any circumstances, the consumption of alcohol in connection with our water sports activities is strictly prohibited. Turn off the hand control when handling the board: When handling and operating the water sports equipment, participants are asked to turn off the hand control or equivalent device. Release the throttle immediately in the event of a fall: In the event that a participant loses balance and falls from the board or equipment, the throttle should be released immediately to reduce the risk of personal injury and collision with objects in the water. Safe distance: It is of the utmost importance to keep a safe distance from the beach, bathers, boats and other objects that are not in water activity. We avoid busy places: We avoid conducting our water sports activities in areas known to be busy or have high boat traffic. This is done to reduce the risk of incidents and ensure a safe environment for our participants. We may follow applicable speed limits: We naturally respect any speed limits. These guidelines and precautions are designed to ensure that our water sports activities are conducted in a responsible and safe manner, and that our priority is the health and well-being of participants. We encourage everyone to follow these guidelines carefully and to exercise good judgment and safety at all times.

What is included in a surfing course with you?A course lasting just over 90 minutes, including a briefing followed by at least one hour of active surfing with an instructor. You will definitely get enough knowledge to start surfing on the water and learn to stand at that time. It is also possible to share the course with a friend or someone in the family and then you share the total time. Wetsuit and life jacket are included for all participants. For the audience and spectators, we have a companion boat for the majority of the courses to be able to follow up close and photograph/film. Otherwise, the availability can always be seen from a nearby cliff. We always pay attention to the weather and surf where there are the best possible conditions for beginners to learn to surf.

What should I bring to a surf lesson?We recommend that you bring swimwear and a towel. All other equipment can be borrowed on site if you don't have your own gear
-
How long does it take to learn to surf?Typically, all our participants are standing within an hour. For those with previous experience, you can expect to be standing half of that time. We never rush anything and take it at your pace - starting on your belly, progressing to your knees, and then to your feet at the pace you feel comfortable with.
-
Who can use a Lift eFoil?We recommend eFoil for individuals aged 12 and older. Larger individuals can ride eFoil, but our factory recommendations for most of our boards are 100 kg - 115 kg. Our 5’4 Cruiser board is designed to comfortably accommodate riders up to 125 kg.

How far can I go on one charge?There is no exact answer here, but this is influenced by many different factors - rider's weight, speed, weather, wind, waves, choice of wings, etc. A Full Range Battery Gen4 provides up to 2.5 hours of driving time. A Light Battery Gen4 provides up to 90 minutes of driving time. A Full Range Battery Gen3 generally gives a driving time of about 100 minutes. A Light Battery Gen3 gives approx. 45-60 min driving time.
-
What payment methods do you accept?We accept payments via Klarna, Swish, credit cards, debit cards and bank transfers.
-
What safety features are in a Lift eFoil?The board automatically shuts off when the controller goes below the water surface or when the trigger on the controller is released. Even if the front of the board ends up underwater. The most important safety aspect to note is the use of protective equipment such as a helmet and life jacket and caution when using the product to avoid injury during your surf session.
-
How much maintenance does the Lift eFoil require?Our components and cables are triple-sealed against moisture and made of high-quality corrosion-resistant materials, requiring minimal maintenance. The primary maintenance is to regularly inspect your board for damages that may have occurred after crashes or regular usage. Cleaning with fresh water and storing in the shade after use is recommended. If you surf in saltwater, our primary recommendation is to flush the cooling channel after each session using a regular garden hose. Storage: Store your eFoil battery in a cool, dry place. The ideal storage level is between 20-60% charge. This will provide the longest lifespan for your battery. Allowed temperature: -10°C to 40°C Ideal storage temperature: 5°C to 25°C Additionally, we recommend storing your lithium-ion battery in a fireproof box for extra safety. You can find the Zarges Case in our shop: [Link]. The box is also perfect for transportation and international travel (freight flights apply in most cases, never passenger flights). The cheapest and easiest option is to send it by truck. Discharge: Like all lithium-ion batteries, the Lift eFoil battery will slowly lose charge over time while in storage. If left stored for a long time without use, the battery risks becoming deeply discharged and losing the ability to charge at all. To prevent this, and for the longest lifespan of your battery, we recommend connecting the battery to a charger and charging it to about 50% every other month if possible. Reviving a battery: To revive your battery after an extended period of storage, follow normal charging instructions. There are no special procedures after a long period of inactivity. Recommended maintenance: Inspect the battery for damages and water ingress before each use. Extra attention should be paid to the casing when looking for cracks in the plastic or areas where the lid is joined with the bottom. Do not use a battery that has been damaged or suspected to contain water. In that case, contact us! Even though the battery is waterproof and completely sealed, it is recommended to minimize exposure to water. Keep the data connector clean and dry. If debris or moisture gets into the connector, clean it with low-pressure compressed air. A gentle rinsing with fresh water can be used if saltwater gets into the connection. Lubricate the connector regularly with the included lubricant and before storage for the off-season. Keep the twist-lock connector clean and dry. Recommendations for the data connection can be followed here as well. Although the twist-lock connector is less sensitive than the data connector, avoid debris, moisture, and saltwater ingress to improve the lifespan of the twist-lock connector.
-
Do you have any guarantees?Yes, a two-year warranty applies to all products. Two years or 600 cycles apply to the battery.

What does the limited warranty cover?The manufacturer's limited warranty covers any defects in materials or workmanship under normal use during the warranty period.
