About us

Hello, my name is Pedro, the founder of E-Foil Cascais. My passion for e-foils started back in 2018 when I saw the first prototypes on the internet. As probably like you now, I said to myself “I HAVE TO GET ONE FOR ME !!!”. I started to email the brands trying to buy one, but no luck… as most were in early development, no one wanted to sell an immature product. Until the day that one replayed “OK, we will send you one”. I went crazy!

It was a long wait …and then COVID… ! Fortunately I live in front of the beach, and as it was considered an “individual water sport” it was allowed and I could practice every day. At the time there were no schools or instructional videos, so I had to learn everything by myself. Every day I was more and more addicted to the feeling of foiling or “flying above the water” as I like to call it, Most of the days I was flying in the morning, and in the afternoon.

Every time I got back to the beach I had people waiting for me, curious about that flying board. And then I thought, I need to share this feeling with the ones that don’t have the opportunity of having a toy like this and to provide them the same degree of happiness that I have every time I ride my board. So I started the first e-foil school in Portugal, only with a board, a van, and a flag. The demand started to grow and I decided to abandon my 25 years in the IT business and dedicate all my time to the e-foils.

I was really lucky as I knew Mike from Jetsurfingnation.com and with him, I could test all the brands in the market. After having worked with several brands, I tested a Fliteboard and it was as I tried to foil for the first time, so smooth, so quiet, and so responsive at the same time! I felt in love with the brand. Actually, I have a FliteSchool and with my partner, we are dealers for Flite in Portugal. Every day I feel more and more addicted to foiling!

The market has grown, we have boards extremely easy and safe to learn in only 1 hour, we have more advanced boards to carve sharper or to ride faster, propellers that allow you to ride waves with power off (only with the energy of the waves like surfing), or even boards with foot straps for freestyle, jumps, flips, rotations, you name it! So now you know my love story with the foils and you want to try the feeling of flying above the water, just need to book it with us. Never have been so easy and safe to learn foiling as now. With our boards and experience, it’s guaranteed that you’ll be flying on your first lesson!

Let’s go to the Water!

Meet the Team

  • Pedro Esteves

    FOUNDER

    I’m providing the e-foil experience for the last few years and that’s the best at my job, to see the smile on the face of our clients after their first time flying above the water. That smile brings me the feeling that I had the first time I flew and that brings me to the beach with such good energy every day.

    Previously I worked in the IT business, but always practiced water activities.

    Nowadays I’m really addicted to foil, and e-foil on non-windy days, where my favorite discipline on the e-foil is surfing non-powered waves and wing foil on the windy days.

  • André Scoot

    INSTRUCTOR

    I'm 19 years old and have practiced many marine sports. Of the marine sports highlighted the ones I like the most are surfing and Foil surfing, putting me in a great position to teach efoil and wing foil to the clients and friends of efoil cascais.

    Foil has won me over with the feeling of freedom and its rapid evolution, in which each session we learn something new and improve our skills in this sport. The e-foil is the best and fastest way to learn to fly Foil, is also the best sea sport for days without waves and wind, ensuring a lot of fun with great glides above the water.

  • Eduardo Marques

    INSTRUCTOR

    I'm Eduardo Marques, an Efoil instructor at Efoil Cascais, and I am delighted to share my experiences teaching this exciting water sport. Throughout my life, I have participated in various water sports, including surfing, sailing, and wakeboarding.

    In 2022, I immersed myself in the revolutionary sport of Efoil and had the opportunity to start teaching others. Teaching Efoil has been a rewarding experience as I witness the joy on my client's faces when they discover the amazing sensation of gliding above the water's surface. The feeling of defying gravity and experiencing the power of the engine propelling you forward is truly unmatched. Efoil serves as a gateway to other foil sports, and that's why I am so passionate about what I do.
