Super fun lesson with better than expected results! I’m a senior who has surfed all my adult life and finally became curious enough to try e foiling. A mate recommended e Foiling GC and it was great advice Speaker helmet. Side by side support to get up And loads of support to get past life long habits to fly. Brilliant feeling

I spent the morning on the water with Vasco, he is so passionate about foiling and coaching. I’m pretty sure with in an hour he had me up and foiling which I thought was amazing If anyone is considering getting into foiling you will be doing yourself a huge favour by booking a lesson with Vasco and have him share his knowledge, not only that he is a thoroughly decent human being I can not rate him highly enough Thanks Vasco

I can’t recommend Vasco highly enough. he created an environment that was encouraging, supportive, and so much fun. Learning to eFoil can feel intimidating at first, but his patience and calm teaching style made all the difference. He took the time to explain not just what to do, but why, which gave me a really solid foundation to build on. He celebrated every small improvement, gave constructive feedback without ever making me feel discouraged, and adapted his coaching to exactly what I needed. His confidence in me helped me gain confidence in myself. Thanks to Vasco’s guidance, I left feeling capable, excited to keep progressing, and with skills that I know will set me up for success. If you’re considering learning to eFoil, do yourself a favour and book a lesson with Vasco. You’ll be in incredibly capable hands!

A truly amazing foiling expirience I went with my father just the other day and had a truly great experience me aged 13 and my father aged 42 were both able to get up on the foil with the help of our amazing teacher Vasco, we were both up and foiling withing 1 hour. I would most definitely recommend this to any at any age as it is a blast and absolutely love foiling now!

He also made the whole thing a lot of fun! It was a very relaxing morning on the creek and I would highly recommend trying out this unique activity :)

I'd give eFoilGC six stars if I could. I went with my three boys (8, 9, 11) and we tried out the full range of watercraft that Vasco runs. We all had a great time and found his teaching style really encouraging and constructive which helped us so much. He also has in-helmet mics so he can coach you as you go which is a bigger benefit than you might realise. No one shouting instructions, just a super positive guy with suggested tweaks to techniques. Vasco has a great vibe about him and he quickly got me and the kids laughing, confident and tackling it all. I couldn't recommend this more. Have a great time, we definitely did and will be back for more. (photos from first session. Not showing my kids photos because it's the internet)

I just spent the day out with eFoil GC and I’m still buzzing. If you’re looking for something that makes you feel completely alive and full of adrenaline, this is it. I’ve done a lot of activities on the Gold Coast, but nothing compares to the feeling of "flying" over the water. A huge shoutout to the owner, Vasco. He is such a legend! I was a bit nervous about whether I’d actually be able to stand up or if I'd just spend the whole time falling in, but Vasco’s vibe is so encouraging and chill that he had me up and foiling way sooner than I expected. He’s clearly an expert, but he explains things in a way that just clicks. It is honestly pure fun. There’s no engine noise, just you gliding over the waves. It’s one of those "must-do" experiences that you’ll be talking about for weeks after. If you’re on the fence about booking a lesson or a rental—just do it. It’s worth every cent for the smile you’ll have on your face the whole time. Thanks again, Vasco, for an epic day!

Such a fun experience! Vasco was a brilliant teacher. As a complete beginner, I was comfortably standing up and getting (kind of!) used to turning by the end of my initial lesson. All down to the great teachings of Vasco! E-foiling is great fun, Vasco's equipment is brilliant (being able to talk to me remotely whilst I was on the water was so helpful) and the pictures he took were superb. Give it a go! You won't regret it. I'm now already looking forward to trying e-foiling again real soon 🙂

If you're learning to foil in any form, please have an efoil lesson with Vasco... You will not regret it. I've been learning to SUP foil for a while independently, however I couldn't quite manage learning all the elements at once. Vasco simplified being in control up on foil into simple steps, and I'm feeling much better about my progression. And it was incredibly fun... Looking forward to having another lesson soon!!

A big thank you to Vasco for teaching me how to eFoil! The whole experience was an absolute blast—way easier to pick up than I expected, and Vasco’s guidance made all the difference. He was patient, knowledgeable, and made sure I was up and riding in no time. If you're looking for a fun and unique water adventure, I highly recommend giving it a go! Can’t wait to get back out there again.

Had an excellent time on the water for the 2nd time. Vasco is a master at instructing to get you flying in no time and definitely recommend giving it a go.

Experiencing efoiling was something I’d been wanting to try for years. Vasco was a clear communicator who made the lesson easy to understand and really enjoyable. He personalised it to me and my previous experiences in and out of the water. A true professional and something I’d highly recommend to anyone who has thought of getting involved. Call him and arrange a lesson if you’ve ever wanted to get involved in efoiling or other foiling sports. Can’t wait to get out there again

The efoil experience with Vasco was awesome. The lesson was really well structured and I found it easy to follow and progress from zero experience to riding on foil. Vasco is an excellent teacher, clean and patient while being a super fun vibe. Highly recommend!

As a 65yo I was a bit nervous before starting. Vasco’s instructions and explanation about efoiling were very good. It was great having his instructions coming through the helmet he supplied. He had me up on the board by the end of the session, as he said he would. I’ll be back in a few weeks for another lesson. The words “squeeze those butt cheeks” and “pelvic thrust” are still ringing in my ears 😀 I’d throughly recommend. Thanks Vasco

The first thing you should do if you want to learn to foil is to have a lesson with eFoilgc He is so enthusiastic and knowledgeable and has all the best gear. The two way headset was amazing for instructions on the go. He had me up and flying in a very short time I think I’m addicted now Thanks so much David

I had a fantastic experience learning to e-foil with Vasco. While I've been surfing for nearly 30 years, I found e-foiling more challenging than anticipated. Thanks to Vasco's one-on-one coaching and patience with me he really helped me progress.

Vasco was an amazing teacher. Our 12-year old was up and gliding the foil in the air doing smooth turns 6o-minutes into the 90-minute lesson. The rest was pure fun and our son can’t stop raving about how great his lesson and e-foiling was. Of course first thing he googled back on land was how much a foil costs :) Vasco also took some amazing pics with his professional camera which he included for free. Worth every penny!!!

I did an advanced ocean session with Vasco and would highly recommend it for anyone wanting to foil in the ocean. It gave me the skills and confidence to take the foil out to sea - thanks Vasco!

The Best eFoil Instruction and Experience I found that Vasco is an excellent instructor for efoiling. Listen carefully to what he says, relax and he will have you efoiling before you believe possible. (I foiled for brief periods on the first lesson and for much longer periods on the second lesson.) Vasco is unique in that not only is he a very accomplished and experienced efoiler (and indeed expert in many other related board sports) he also has a genius for instruction. That is, Vasco has an ability to distil the information a student needs at different points in the learning process while keeping the whole experience fun. I highly recommend Vasco and efoilgc.com! I will be back for more.

Finished an enjoyable morning of efoil lessons with my wife and two sons. Vasco was very informative, patient and encouraging. Certainly knows his craft and the best methods of teaching prospective efoil riders. A must do if you are in the gold coast area.

Brilliant morning at Currumbin with Super Coach Vasco 🙌 Aside from the many goofy falls not captured on film (have not laughed so much in a while!!) these epic pictures reflect the fun and thrill of it all!!!! Thanks for a great first lesson Vasco!!! Hooked 🤩

Great eFoiling experience I recently had an eFoiling lesson with Vasco at eFoilGC, and it was an incredible experience! The equipment was excellent—everything was in perfect condition, which really enhanced the overall experience. The duration of the lesson was ideal. There was more than enough time to learn the basics, enjoy the session, and leave feeling like I got the most out of the experience (and a good workout too). One of the standout aspects was Vasco’s methodology. He was able to communicate with me throughout the lesson via a radio system, offering real-time tips and adjustments, which made learning so much easier and more enjoyable. As an added bonus, Vasco took some fantastic photos during the session, which were a great way to relive the experience and share it with friends and family. I highly recommend Vasco and eFoilGC to anyone interested in trying out eFoiling or refining their skills. It’s definitely worth it! 🌊⚡

I took my 12 year old son to efoilgc for a lesson .he had soooo much fun ,they got him up and riding around on foil first lesson amazing. The coaching technique they use is first class Has a helmet where he talks directly to the student and tells him the corrections he needed to do with his body while on the foil next to him It is so impressive. I cannot recommend highly enough so impressed with there knowledge and enthusiasm Thanks for a great time Cheers david lowlett

Vasco spent the time upfront to ensure that my experience efoiling would happen without a hitch. He is incredibly knowledgeable and his equipment is the very best. The headset and microphone means that instructions can be given whilst you’re actually foiling.

Had a great session with Vasco. My only regret is I found out about eFoilGC on the last day of my stay. I would have gone more. The experience was so much fun! If you are in the Currumbin area GO do this. Can only comment for myself: terrible at balance, but I got foil. As a newby, wetsuit is a must = amount of water time as board time. Session went so quick. Surprisingly exhausting, so do it early in your stay. Go early in the morning. Maybe give yourself a day between sessions. I got foil…and fell off with the shock of the sensation :-). Surprisingly easy to do. Another session and I would have been mostly on the foil and with confidence in controlling the board. And if you are already competent at foiling call Vasco to get onto the waves… now that is my end goal.

Vasco is the best! Took me for my first ever efoil (never foiled either) and got me up and foiling within 20 minutes. Exceptional knowledge on the sport and his teaching was specific to me, my skills and learning style. I highly recommend a lesson to experience the joy of floating above the water in complete safety with Vasco either beside you on a board or in your ear with the headset. Don't waste time, get out there and give this a go. I now have a board ordered and on the way! BOOM!
