Having a water sports or boarding background can be helpful but most anyone can learn to foil with proper instruction. There are no prerequisites for taking an eFoil lesson besides being able to swim.

The better ones balance the faster one typically learns. As long as you can get to your feet from your stomach and knees, then you have the ability to learn to eFoil. Everyone learns at different rates but must learn to get up on the foil their first lesson. This is a sport that the old and young alike can enjoy together.
