Before you rent

What a rental includes, and what it doesn't

A rental is not a lesson

On-site and full-day rentals are equipment only. Nobody rides with you or coaches you, so you need to be able to ride and handle the set safely on your own. Still learning? Book a lesson first.

See E-Foil Lessons →

Batteries and riding time

Riding time depends on your weight, speed, riding style and the conditions, so we do not quote a fixed time per battery. If you want several sessions or a longer day, plan time for charging or add an extra battery. An extra battery costs ฿4,000 per day for full-day rentals and the Yacht Experience. It is subject to availability and is never added automatically.

Where you can ride

An e-foil needs enough water depth and a riding area clear of reefs, rocks, shallow patches and underwater obstacles, and the weather has to be suitable too. Mahalo must review and approve every off-site location before delivering the equipment. Send us your location first, and we will tell you whether it works.

Deposit, ID and responsibility

Full-day rentals need a refundable cash deposit and a photo of your passport. We do not keep your original passport. You are responsible for damage to the equipment under the rental terms below.

Battery safety

When the battery indicator reaches 2 bars, return to shore immediately and end your session. Do not start another ride with that battery. Never fully discharge the battery.

This is a mandatory condition of every independent rental.

Equipment Damage & Liability Policy

An e-foil set is made of expensive components: the board, hydrofoil, mast, propulsion unit, electronics, remote controller and battery. That is why clear responsibility rules apply to every rental.

You are responsible for damage caused while using the equipment, in particular:

  • •Cracks, impacts and any damage to the structure of the board
  • •Damage to the hydrofoil, wings and mast
  • •Damage to the propulsion unit and electronic components
  • •Damage to the battery and remote controller
  • •Lost parts or lost equipment

Normal, superficial signs of use are not treated as damage. Damage that needs repair is.

Repairs and necessary replacements are charged according to the costs appropriate to the damage. If equipment is lost, the renter is responsible for the cost of an equivalent new item.

Rules

  • ✔The condition of the equipment is recorded before handover and after return.
  • ✔No self-repairs, opening the battery, modifying the equipment or using unapproved chargers.
  • ✔Any damage must be reported immediately.
  • ✔The security deposit does not limit the renter’s financial responsibility.
