Join this boutique Foildrive foil retreat with Rob Pirie & Mat McKinnon in Arrawarra for 3 days filled with waves, coaching and Foildrive fun!

There aren’t many better ways to improve your foil surfing quickly than Foildrive, except combining that with super fun, rolling waves and coaching from 2 highly experienced foilers – which is exactly what you’ll get on this 3 night Foildrive Foiling Retreat in Arrawarra.

You’ll be joined by Rob Pirie and Mat McKinnon for coaching and video analysis, all based out of a stunning boutique, oceanfront accommodation to maximise your water time.

With all your gear included (and yes that includes Foildrives and plenty of batteries!) get ready for a weekend of waves and some serious stoke.

Suitable for all levels of foiler, from complete newbies to experienced shredders, this foil retreat will take your skills to the next level!

SUITABLE FOR ALL LEVELS

THE RETREAT

Level up your foil surfing in the 3 night, boutique foil retreat in Arrawarra on the NSW coast along with Rob Pirie and Mat McKinnion.

Suitable for all levels – whether you’re looking to learn to foil or take your skills to the next level – you’ll have super fun foil waves right in front of your doorstep.

For those learning to foil, the Foildrive setup is the perfect training tool and you’ll be guided through everything you need to know, from gear setup to how to get to your feet and up on foil.

If you’re an experienced foiler already you’ll hit the waves with the guys and help hone your technique – with photo and video analysis each day to help fine-tune everything and get your ripping even harder.

Each guest will have their own Foildrive setup to use for the retreat – but if you have your own gear you’re more than welcome to bring it along. There will be plenty of batteries on hand too, so feel free to leave yours at home!

Post retreat, everyone will have access to some exclusive gear discounts (including Foildrive setups) from the crew at Future Movement.

YOUR HOSTS

When it comes to improving your foil surfing, your hosts for the weekend come with some seriously solid credentials and will help you no matter what your level – beginner, intermediate or advanced!

ROB PIRIE

Rob and his foiling skills have gained a large following over on his YouTube Channel, reviewing boards, wings and more. Whether he’s charging waves in Fiji or cruising some Gold Coast Banks, Rob has a heap of foiling knowledge and insights to share – as well as getting some awesome filming angles for you too!

MAT MCKINNON

Foildrive team rider and Arrawarra local, Mat has a wealth of knowledge in and out of the water too and if you’re keen to talk gear he’s also frothing to share. He’ll be on hand to offer expert coaching throughout the weekend – so whether you’re just venturing into the world of Foildrive and need someone to talk you through setting up, or are an experienced rider looking to push your skills to that next level, he’s your man!

ACCOMMODATION

Your base for the weekend is the stunning Black House in Arrawarra – a boutique accommodation right on the beach front, so you can check the waves from the balcony.

With plenty of space to chill and unwind between foil sessions as well as setting up all your foil gear you couldn’t be better placed to take full advantage of the waves on offer.

Complete with A/C, BBQ, full kitchen and front balcony with million dollar views, The Black House is a foilers dream!

Choose from twin share or private room options, but be quick, this foil retreat is limited to a maximum of 7 spots!

FOILDRIVE

When it comes to the cheat code to flattening your foil surfing learning curve, the use of a Foildrive is next level, ask anyone who has given it a go!

For those just learning to foil it’ll maximise your time up and riding, and at the end of the day more time on foil is more progression.

Experienced foilers will multiply their wave count and level up their skills too, as well as having heaps of fun in the process.

So no matter what your level, Foildrive is really going to give you a boost – pun intended!

This is also a great opportunity to test out the Foildrive system if you’re looking to buy one too – and you can try a full setup out, or attach it to your existing foil setup.

You’ll also have access to exclusive Foildrive deals before, during and after the retreat too, so if you are keen to grab one for yourself, add some extra batteries, or upgrade anything, this is the perfect opportunity!
