E-foil Lessons in the Magdalen Islands: Your First Flight with Plein Vent

Ride through the stunning scenery of the Magdalen Islands

Do you also dream of flying over the sea with a breathtaking view of the Magdalen Islands? We can’t wait to give you this extraordinary experience where the ocean becomes your ultimate playground!

What you need to know before starting :

• Duration : 2 hours for a lesson and 1.5 hours for a rental.

• Location : Because we want to offer you the smoothest water possible, the meeting point is chosen based on the weather. We will send you a text message the day before your lesson to confirm the exact meeting location.

• Lesson format : To ensure optimal safety and coaching, we limit our sessions to a maximum of 2 students. Each student has their own E-FOIL for the entire duration of the session.

• Rental : To rent without an instructor, you must already have experience on a foil board (E-FOIL, Kitefoil, Wingfoil, Wakefoil, etc.).

The E-FOIL training process

Learning to E-FOIL with us means treating yourself to a moment of freedom and fun in a safe environment.

As an official Fliteboard partner, our school provides high-end gear featuring the latest innovations. For a customized experience, you can choose between two board models : the standard board or the FliteScooter, to fully enjoy your time on the water.

Welcome to Plein Vent les îles : reception and gearing up (15 minutes)

Upon your arrival, your certified instructor will greet you to get to know you. After reading and signing the waiver, you’ll discuss your goals and experience level to personalize your session.

Meet us at the Plein Vent les îles mobile E-FOIL trailer.

We will provide you with all the equipment necessary for your training:

• 5/4 wetsuit;

• booties;

• life jacket;

• helmet.

We even have everything you need for cooler days, including neoprene beanies and gloves as needed.

We recommend that you bring:

• sunglasses with a strap;

• towel;

• sunscreen;

• water bottle.

If you already have a wetsuit and/or neoprene boots, feel free to bring them.

You can wear your swimsuit or athletic shorts under the wetsuit.

BB Talkin Communication Helmet

From this first lesson, we also equip you with a two-way communication helmet. It’s a truly great tool that allows us to stay in direct contact with you while you are on the water to give you small tips in real time; it is very reassuring and helps you progress much faster.

Gear carefully selected for your comfort and safety.

High-quality boards from the Flite company.

Theory on the beach : mastering the basics and safety (30 minutes)

Before heading into the water, we will spend approximately 30 minutes on the beach to explain how the equipment works:

• Foil mechanics : How lift allows you to rise above the water, much like an airplane wing.

• Body positioning : How to take positions on your knees and standing on the board.

• Wireless remote : How to manage your speed progressively and safely.

• Safety : Essential rules for a safe session.

Learn the basics with one of our certified instructor

Water Practice: First Glide and First Flight! (1 hour)

Now that the basics are mastered on land, it's time to hit the water! You will have one full hour to have fun and get used to the electric foil. Your instructor will be right by your side also riding his own E-FOIL  to lead by example and stay in direct contact with you via the helmet throughout your progression.

The goal of your first session will first be to master the board and the remote in a kneeling position to achieve your first flights with stability and control. Once you have mastered this stage, you can stand up to try "foiling" on your feet.

Do you want to fly standing up from the very start with maximum stability? Ask your instructor to use the Flitescooter. With its integrated handlebar, it is the ideal option for a stable, reassuring, and gentle first experience.

Your E-FOIL progression: Step by step

1. Riding on your stomach : We start in a lying position to get used to the board, feel the thrust of the turbine, and test the sensitivity of the wireless remote.

2. Finding your balance on your knees : Once you are comfortable, you rise to your knees. This is the ideal stage to find your bearings and learn how to steer.

3. The first takeoff : As soon as your speed is stable on your knees, it’s time to take flight! This is where you will feel, for the first time, that unique sensation of floating above the water.

4. Standing up : Once kneeling flight is mastered, you will learn how to stand up to navigate on your feet.

5. Foiling while standing :  This is the magical moment where you fly in total freedom, standing up, with a breathtaking view of the coastline.

   
   

The first flight: a feeling of pure freedom!

Back on Land : How Was Your Experience ? (15 minutes)

After your hour of fun on the water, your instructor will take about 15 minutes with you to review your experience. Together, you will discuss your strengths and areas for improvement for your next session.

Your pace, your success, that’s what a typical first session at Plein Vent looks like: a stress-free moment of discovery. It’s not about how fast you stand up, but about the smile on your face the first time you fly over the water.

Choose your ride: steady on the Flitescooter or agile on the classic foil. Double the fun, one shared adventure!
