In short eFoiling is like electric surfboarding! The state of the art carbon fiber eFoil allows you to essentially "levitate" above water whilst travelling at speeds of up to 30mph! Controlled by a wireless Bluetooth hand controller, it allows you to ride for up to two hours on a single charge.
How much does it cost?
£80 per person (minimum of 2 people). This is £10 cheaper per person than it would be booking direct with eFoil Scotland.
What do I get?
You will enjoy 2 hours with an eFoil Scotland instructor at Leven beach (just a 5 minute walk from the campsite). You will be in constant contact with the instructor via a waterproof headset. 1 board between 3 people will be provided, for more than 3 people 2 boards will be used.

What To Bring
As the campsite is set in 27 acres of woodland park, it does get pretty dark at night-time. We recommend all visitors bring a good torch! And because Scottish weather is unpredictable, you might want to consider packing everything from your wellies & waterproofs through to your sunglasses & suncream! We are a 5 minute walk from the beach so if you are coming in the warmer months you may want to bring along beach towels & games.
If you are staying on a campervan pitch or an electric tent pitch please be aware 16v electric hook up cables are not provided.
Staying in an Eco-Pod?
Our eco-pods are equipped with: double bed, pull-out sofa bed (small double), wall mounted electric heater, mini-fridge, kettle, microwave & two portable reading lights.
When packing for an eco-pod trip, we recommend you ‘think camping’ – but without having to pack (or pitch!) the tent. Please bring all your own bedding, crockery, cutlery, cups, glasses etc, and of course food and drink for your stay (see also the ‘Places to Eat and Drink’ section on our website for local recommendations).
