Our 2019 season brought many firsts - first time eFoiling in Ohio on Lake Erie, and our first time eFoiling at Edgewater Park, on Rocky River, in Media County, and at Hinkley Lake. We completed several road trips, and brought our eFoils to Bald Eagle State Park near State College, Pennsylvania, as well as lesser known waterways like Parker Dam State Park in Clearfield County, PA.
Then there were the lessons, and all those first-timers flying on the foil for the first time. You did it! You were among the first to experience this exhilarating new water sport. Thank you for choosing us and Lift Foils to be your guides.
Here's our first season recap. Enjoy. We can't wait to get back out there again soon.

Bald Eagle State Park offers a pristine lake nestled in the mountains of central Pennsylvania, just a short drive from Penn State University.
One of the best things about the Lift eFoil is just how portable it is. We wanted to test this out for sure, and decided to take our board on a trip to Bald Eagle State Park near State College, Pennsylvania (home of Penn State University).
The travel bag is extremely well-made, and it was easy to load up our 5'6" board into our SUV and hit the road. We also took a cooler, a stand-up paddleboard, a change of clothes and snacks. Kona, our Cockapoo, came with us. He's always game for adventure.
Water conditions at Bald Eagle were calm and warm. The lake has lots of little inlets, which were fun to explore. Boaters, jet skiers and beach-goers stopped to ask about it. Because I have family in the central Pennsylvania area, I'm there quite frequently and offered up lessons for anyone who wants to try it.
Having grown up in Pennsylvania, I know the state is loaded with freshwater lakes of all sizes, and in some really historic cute towns. With the eFoil's portability, it's possible to surf and explore in many different areas.
Our spare battery really came in handy on this trip, too. Wassim and I took turns throughout the day and used both of them on the trip.
And if you are ever at Bald Eagle State Park, you must check out the Mad Cow ice cream shop, which looks like a barn from the outside. It's under new ownership, and we were very impressed with their hospitality and tasty treats. They even have a special menu item for dogs, which Kona couldn't resist.
