What is Rise & Glide?
Five nights at the house on the point at Shacks Beach, in northwest Puerto Rico. Six guests, one host, and four days built around getting on the water early and taking your eFoil somewhere it has not been.
Dale Pigford of NC Foil School runs every session. The coaching is hands-on and specific: reading swell, picking a line, and riding rolling waves rather than covering flat water. Sessions are filmed, and the footage comes back out over dinner.
Mornings start with yoga on the property before the water. Afternoons stay open. Evenings are chef-prepared dinners at the house. Nothing about the week is padded to fill a brochure.
The shape of the day.
Two names, two halves. The water is glass early and the wind fills later, so the day is built to use the calm and then let go of it.

Why the west coast
You launch off the beach
Walk out the back of the house and go. No truck, no ramp, no trailer, and no waiting on a ski to come get you. An eFoil is the one board that lets the property be the launch.
Spots rotate with conditions
Different water every day, chosen that morning, including a day trip down to Cabo Rojo. Every zone has room to learn and room to push.
Easy to get to
No passport required for US residents. BQN is about ten minutes from the property and SJU about an hour and forty-five. Transfers from either are included both ways.
Warm water, no wetsuits
Temperatures hold between 79 and 82 degrees year round. You ride in what you would wear to swim, all four days.
Lift, at the source
Lift Foils is built in Puerto Rico, and the week includes a tour of their headquarters. Lift 5 and Lift X demos are on hand, with boards, batteries and chargers provided.
Room for people who do not foil
Yoga each morning, massage on request, and afternoons that ask nothing of you. The week works for a partner who would rather be on the beach.

Dale
Pigford
Dale runs NC Foil School and hosts this retreat start to finish. He is on the water for every session, not dropping in for a photo and leaving.
His coaching is built around taking riders off flat water and into rolling swell, which is the part most people never get to on their own. Sessions are filmed and reviewed as a group after dinner, so the correction you get is about the wave you actually rode.
