our story
Hey there! My name is Miles. This all started after seeing a video on Youtube in which a man was efoiling through a city at sunrise, gliding so fast and effortless. It was so calm and serene. I thought “I need this!” So I searched my area, but nothing came up. A few years later I tried again and found a guy in Washington doing lessons, booked asap, and had such an incredible time. I loved the quiet, the speed, and the feeling of flying. So I got some boards and started Efoil PDX.
That was 4 years ago. And since then I have learned a lot, become an Oregon Outfitter, CPR certified, and have taught over 150 people! I really enjoy sharing this sport with people. Every single person has had a wonderful time and has had substantial success on their first lesson! I try to make each person’s time the most enjoyable as possible and give them as much space as they want to learn and practice, but am always there to offer advice and answer questions.
FAQs
-
Previous clients that have shown a certain level of skill, situational awareness, and have knowledge of the area may be able to launch alone at a discounted rate. But they must be return clients and have foiled the area before.
-
Good balance and throttle/trigger control. Any board sport, even paddle boarding, is transferable and will help get you going! You control the throttle, so you can go your own pace.
-
Actual ride time varies with rider weight and amount of throttle used. Most first-time lessons run 2 hours from time of put-in to take-out. Experienced riders can expect 90 minute sessions as they are on throttle more often.
-
The two person lessons start with the instructor and one rider (two boards). Instruction uses about 15-20% of the battery. Then riders are switched out. Another 15-20% of the battery is used. Then, if no rider wants more one-on-one time, both riders go out together for the remainder of the battery.
-
I provide life vests and helmets. Wet suits are recommended for non-summer days. Water temps during the season are 64-77F.
-
Probably! Most of my clients DO foil with at least some control on the first session!

For sure. Let’s go!
