Lessons
90-minute private and semi-private instruction
Twenty minutes on shore, then on the water with a certified instructor. PFD and board provided — bring your own wetsuit; Lucky Peak runs cool through summer.
Idaho’s first electric hydrofoil school · Opening summer 2027
Fly above Lucky Peak.
Silent. Electric. A board that lifts above the water and glides through the morning calm — twenty minutes from downtown Boise.
No spam. Two emails: when slots open, and the week we launch.
What is eFoiling?
A board that lifts. A motor you can’t hear. A sport you can learn in an afternoon.
An eFoil is an electric surfboard with a hydrofoil wing underneath. As you accelerate, the wing creates lift and the board rises a foot or two above the surface — quiet, smooth, and almost frictionless. No waves, no wind, no boat required. Most riders are up and flying within their first 90-minute lesson.
- Top speeds around 25 mph
- No prior board-sport experience required
- Roughly 90 minutes on a single battery
- Boards designed and built in Boise
What we'll offer
Three ways onto the water.
Rentals
For riders who’ve already taken a lesson
Hourly and half-day rentals once you’re cleared. We launch from Spring Shores Marina and stay close in case you need anything.
Boards
We design and build our boards in-house.
Standard models from around $5,000, plus custom builds priced to spec. Tell us how you want to ride and we’ll size the board, foil, and battery for it.
Why Lucky Peak
A high-desert reservoir, twenty minutes from downtown.
Lucky Peak Reservoir is a 12-mile canyon lake ringed by black basalt and golden foothills, ten miles southeast of Boise on Highway 21. Mornings are glass-calm. Afternoons bring a thermal breeze. We launch from Spring Shores Marina between Memorial Day and Labor Day, when the reservoir runs near full pool.
- ~3,000 acres at full pool
- 45 miles of shoreline
- Glass-calm mornings, golden-hour evenings
- Wetsuits provided — water sits in the 60s–70s in summer
Why us
A small shop, run by people who actually ride.
eFoil Boise is a Treasure Valley operation built around one idea: the quiet, surreal feeling of flying a foot above the water shouldn’t require a coast. We’re hiring instructors locally, working through our USACE commercial permit at Lucky Peak, and designing the boards we’ll ride and teach on — so the gear is built around how Idaho riders actually use it.

Common questions
Before you ask.
Do I need any board-sport experience?
No. Most first-time riders are flying within their 90-minute lesson. If you’ve surfed, paddled, snowboarded, or wakeboarded, you’ll likely stand up faster — but it’s not a prerequisite.
Is it safe?
eFoils have a magnetic kill-switch tether, a USCG-approved PFD, and a fully enclosed propeller. Your instructor stays on the water with you for the entire session.
How cold is the water?
Lucky Peak is in the 60s and low 70s during peak summer. Bring your own wetsuit — we recommend one through August. We don’t provide them.
When do you actually open?
Summer 2027, anchored to Memorial Day weekend. Schedules and exact dates depend on the USACE commercial permit and Spring Shores ramp opening. Waitlist members hear first.
Where do you launch?
Spring Shores Marina, on the south side of Lucky Peak Reservoir off Highway 21. Roughly twenty minutes from downtown Boise.
Will you publish pricing?
Lesson pricing publishes close to opening (industry-typical 90-minute private lessons run $300–$400). Standard in-house boards start around $5,000; custom builds are priced to spec.
