Manta5 Ride Spots

Learn to ride the hydrofoiler SL3 with Atomic EV in a few easy steps.

We will teach you essential tips and techniques, maintaining balance throughout your ride, executing smooth carving turns, engaging in races, enjoying leisurely cruising, and safely returning to land.

Ride Spot Locations

We offer an extensive range of Ride Spot locations around the Auckland region, depending on your experience and interests, and whether you’d like to combine your hydrofoiler bike experience into a larger package in a stunning location.

While we try to meet location preferences the location ultimately depends on the weather, tides, and trainer availability.

Book a Manta5 Lesson

All lessons are 90 minutes, including a comprehensive safety briefing by your trainer and usually at least 60 minutes on the water.

  • A one-on-one lesson with an instructor is $199 (including GST).
  • Two people can take a lesson together with the same instructor at $179 per person.

Please contact us directly for larger corporate or private group events, or for longer activity packages.

Riding Safety

All our locations have Maritime New Zealand approval for the safety measures we put in place, our Manta5 bikes are certified for training and trainers are all first-aid certified and themselves experienced with water sports.

But please note that any form of foiling is an adventure activity with a degree of risk due to falls and collisions, risks which we strive to minimise but which cannot be completely eliminated. All clients will receive a comprehensive safety briefing and provided with a helmet and impact vest which must be worn at all times while on the water. Clients must obey the trainer instructions at all times.

We strongly encourage clients to bring a wetsuit if they have one and a change of warm clothing. We can arrange wetsuits in most sizes free of charge with prior notice. Although winters in Auckland are comparatively mild even in summer it can be cool eFoiling while wet and weather conditions can change quickly. Clients should expect to be getting wet as falls are part of the process of learning to rider.

Before the Manta5 Lesson

Our trainer will provide all the necessary explanations on-shore before you go onto the water. But if you’d like to be extra prepared beforehand we’d suggest you may like to read these Manta5 steps and watch the following videos before your lesson.
