Location: Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina, USA

Located in Wrightsville Beach, NC, lessons take place in amazingly diverse conditions: flat protected water for introductory e-foiling on Lift eFoils, consistent summer thermal winds for wing foiling, and inlet/beach break waves for surf foiling and SUP foiling. The spot is ideal for teaching all disciplines year-round, with easy water entry, large supervised riding areas, and a grassy rigging zone.
