Preflight Checklist
Your Essential Pre-Lesson Guide
Everything you need to make the most of your upcoming eFoil lesson — what to bring, where to meet, and what to expect.
What to expect
What your lesson looks like
You learn in stages — on your stomach first, then your knees, then up on your feet and into flight. You will fall, many times; your instructor teaches you how to fall safely. Some riders fly on lesson one, others need a couple of sessions.
- 30 min
- On-shore training
- 60 min

The week before
Before you arrive
Check your confirmation
Make sure you received a confirmation email or text with the right date, time, and party size. If you didn't, call or text us at (435) 222-2828.
Sign your waiver
Every rider completes our liability waiver online before arrival — it saves time at the water's edge.
Add your friends
You can add riders to your lesson up to the day of your session; up to 4 people can share one group lesson.
Be on time
Know where you're going before lesson day and plan to be ready to go at your start time.
Where we meet
Meeting locations
Deer Creek — Salt Lake City area
Rainbow Bay Day Use Area
Rainbow Bay Day Use Area, UT-314, Wallsburg, UT 84082 — at Mile Marker 22 off Highway 189. About 50 minutes from Salt Lake City, 30 from Provo, and 30 from Park City. Look for the tall ziplines that mark the state park entrance.
Lake Powell
State Line Boat Ramp
State Line Boat Ramp at Mile Marker 15 off Highway 89 — 8.5 miles north of Page, Arizona, and about 13 miles south of Big Water, Utah. Heads up: your appointment time is Arizona time, even though the ramp is technically in Utah.
Pack smart
What to bring
We handle the boards, batteries, safety gear, and setup. You bring the basics:
Swimsuit & towel — You're getting wet — plan on it. A change of clothes for after is a good idea too.
Long-sleeve rashguard or swim shirt — Protects your elbows from rubbing raw while you're learning on your elbows and knees.
Your own wetsuit, if you have one — We provide 4/3mm wetsuits free in standard sizes, but we can't guarantee a perfect fit.
Water & sunscreen — Hydrate and protect — you'll be out in the sun for a while.
Water shoes or flip-flops — For wading out before you hop on the board.
Sunglass strap — If you wear sunglasses on the water, tether them or lose them.
A bag for your belongings — Leave phones and valuables with a non-rider or locked in your vehicle.
Friends — Everything's better with a crew — spectators welcome.
Safety first
Weather & water conditions
We watch the forecast
Weather delays can happen at any time — even if you're already on your way or have arrived. A session might run 20 minutes late, get pushed a few hours, or be rescheduled entirely. Light rain without lightning or high winds usually doesn't stop us.
If we cancel, you choose
If Adventure Elevated cancels your booking because of unsafe weather or water conditions, you may choose a full refund or reschedule to another available date, with no fees. If weather cuts a lesson short, we arrange a follow-up session.
Algae blooms
Deer Creek Reservoir is occasionally affected by algae blooms — check the Utah Department of Environmental Quality's monitoring before your session. If you're sensitive to algae or have open sores or cuts, we recommend rescheduling; we're not liable for illness due to an algae bloom. Current conditions are posted on the Utah State Parks site (Deer Creek) and the Lake Powell water data page.
No-shows
If you don't show up and we haven't cancelled your lesson, you may be ineligible for a refund.
