eFoil and jetboard demos in New Braunfels, Texas
We're based in New Braunfels, right in the middle of the best water in the state. If you live in Comal County and you've watched an eFoil video and wondered whether it's as good as it looks, you don't need to drive to another city to find out.
Demos run in New Braunfels, by appointment. We have the boards charged and coach you through your first ride. Sessions are $75 for 30 minutes, credited in full toward your board if you buy, and include board, battery, life vest and instruction.
Water to ride around New Braunfels
Canyon Lake — the big water nearby. Deep, clean, big enough to open up, and calm in the early hours. More on Canyon Lake →
The Guadalupe — for the right conditions and the right stretch.
Lake Dunlap and Lake McQueeney — short drive down 46 and 725.

What a demo looks like
- You pick a time. Mornings are calmest, which makes them the best learning conditions.
- We meet you on the water with boards charged. No trailer to launch, no ramp fee, no waiting in line.
- Short shore briefing. Throttle, stance, safety, what to do if you fall off. Ten minutes.
- You ride. Belly first, then knees, then standing. Most riders are up within twenty minutes.
- You try the other board. Jetboard and eFoil feel completely different. Ride both before you decide which one you want.
Jetboard vs. eFoil for Hill Country water
If you're riding Canyon Lake on a Saturday afternoon in July, get a jetboard. It handles boat chop, it's forgiving, family members can rotate on it, and the learning curve is short enough that a first-timer has fun the same day.
If you can get on the water at 7 a.m. on a weekday, or you've got a quiet cove, the eFoil is the more remarkable machine. Flying two feet above the surface in total silence isn't something the jetboard replicates. It just asks more of you and likes calmer water.
Plenty of our riders end up with one of each.
