What is the Foil Odyssey?
The Ananda Foil Odyssey is an all inclusive foil retreat where the location does the heavy lifting. Walk-out access from the property, picked up each morning by ski. Empty lineups within 5–15 minutes, NE trade swell October through May. You can expect consistent exceptional world class surf throughout the fall and winter.
The ANANDA team runs the rotation with 3 Yamaha FX Ho skis a 28 foot center console boat stocked with drinks, snacks drone, and photographers. Your Pro Host will operate a ski and participate in the rotation, providing feedback and sharing waves. Every session is filmed. Every debrief built around the footage from that day.
Mornings: three hours on the water as a group. Towing happens before the trades come up, while the water's glass.
Afternoons: open up when the wind fills, parawing, downwinders, Foil Drives, Lift X, or beach, surf, snorkel, do nothing. Your house is right on the beach at Shacks.
Evenings: Count on an amazing private chef-prepared dinner at your home. we will watch the days foiling and gather feedback from our host.
