My Goal is to guide and inspire everyone on their Foiling journey

With a deep love for the ocean and adventure, I have spent the last decade focusing on coaching and instructing watersports.


Wing Foiling has become my ultimate passion, blending the thrill of wind and waves into one seamless experience.

Meet Zak Kaplun – Your Wing Foiling Coach

Zak isn’t just a coach; he’s a hydrosports specialist with years of experience helping people master the art of wing foiling. His coaching style is all about progression, confidence, and fun, breaking things down into simple, achievable steps.

With Zak leading the charge at eFoilgc’s wing foiling expansion, you’ll get:
✅ Personalised coaching – Whether you’re a total beginner or levelling up your skills, Zak’s got you covered.
✅ Expert guidance on gear – Learn what wing, board, and foil setup suits your style and conditions.
✅ A fast, safe learning curve – With proper technique, you’ll be up and foiling faster than you think.

“I love seeing people experience that first moment of lift—when the board breaks free, and you’re flying over the water. It’s a game-changer,” says Zak. “With eFoilgc, we’re building a community of riders who push their limits and have a blast doing it.”

Why Wing Foiling?

If you haven’t tried WING FOILING, here’s why you should:

🌊 It’s pure freedom. Unlike kitesurfing or windsurfing, there are no lines, no mast—just you, the wind, and the foil.
🚀 The progression is insane. Beginners can get going in a session or two, and the skills translate to foiling, surfing, and more.
💨 Ride the wind and waves. It’s the perfect blend of surfing and wind sports, letting you harness nature’s power effortlessly.
🏄 Minimal impact, maximum fun. No need for big waves—just a breeze and some flat water to get started.

eFoilgc’s Vision: A Hydrosports Hub

With eFoils, tow foiling, and now wing foiling, eFoilgc is fast becoming the go-to destination for hydrofoil sports on the Gold Coast. Our goal? To create a space where riders of all levels can learn, progress, and share the stoke—whether it’s eFoiling on glassy mornings, wing foiling on breezy afternoons, or pushing the limits with advanced foiling techniques.

“We see wing foiling as the perfect next step,” says Vasco Vellez, founder of eFoilgc. “It complements what we do with eFoils—same hydrofoil principles, same rush, just powered by wind instead of electric.”
