[Isumi City, Chiba] A new sensation sport where you can glide over the water surface. Enjoy a river cruise on an electric hydrofoil. Includes drone, water-level, and land-based photography.

• Foil surfing is a next-generation ocean sport that is gaining popularity around the world. While it is known as an extreme sport, the advent of electric foils has made it possible for anyone to experience the sensation of gliding above the water surface. Less than an hour from Tokyo, you can experience this cutting-edge activity on the Isumi River in Isumi City, Chiba Prefecture, where nature still remains. If you have experience with board sports such as snowboarding, wakeboarding, surfing, windsurfing, or SUP, where you stand on a board and balance, you will be able to glide with ease. Our instructors are veteran foil surfers who are well-versed in the characteristics of foil surfing, so even beginners can take lessons safely and enjoyably. Lessons are basically one-on-one. While the instructor remains on land, the student and instructor can communicate via an intercom built into the helmet, allowing for detailed guidance even when apart. - Flow of the Foil Board Experience - 1. Reception Please complete reception and payment at the meeting point 30 minutes before the start time. 2. Changing Following the instructor's directions, change into your swimsuit in the changing room and put on a wetsuit and marine boots. In addition to the wetsuit, you will also wear a life jacket and helmet. 3. Land Training Before entering the water, we will provide detailed guidance on points to be aware of, how to balance on the board at the start, and how to balance once you have lifted off the water surface. We will also confirm how to use the controller for the electric foil. 4. Start of Water Lessons For the first 20 minutes or so, the instructor will explain how to ride and how to lift off. Once the final check on how to use the controller is complete, it is time to take on the challenge. 5. Start At first, you may lose your balance when lifting off, but once you understand how to shift your center of gravity, you will gradually learn how to balance and be able to glide for longer periods. You will receive an explanation of the equipment to be used again at the starting point. 6. After Completion Return to the facility, take off your wetsuit, change your clothes, and the session is complete. For the best experience, it is better for the water surface to be as flat as possible, so rivers or areas unaffected by wind and waves are definitely better for faster progress and enjoyment. The conditions are stable throughout the year, so anyone can enjoy it with peace of mind. If the weather is nice, we will take videos of your riding with a drone, or if it is raining, with a GoPro or a single-lens reflex camera from land. It is also possible to transfer the data directly to your smartphone or PC via SD card.
• Experienced instructors will provide safe and fun lessons

• Instructors and students communicate during lessons using an intercom built into the helmet
• Since each student uses one board, the instructor gives instructions from the land. To ensure communication even when far apart, lessons are conducted using an intercom built into the student's helmet. Many students say that just hearing the instructor's voice makes them feel at ease even when they are taking the lesson alone, and the instructor can also hear the student, which is a strength that allows for safe lessons.
