On the Hastings River at McInherney Park in Port Macquarie, OzFoiling's Flite Demo Day delivers a sharp, modern take on water sports. Located at 8 Mcinherney Close Port Macquarie, New South Wales AU 2444, this guided demo puts you on electric hydrofoil boards that lift cleanly above the water, offering a quiet, low-impact way to experience the estuary. The site sits where the Hastings River opens into broad tidal flats framed by mangrove channels and seagrass beds—conditions that make for calm learning water and clear sightlines for instructors.
During a typical session you’ll meet the Flite and OzFoiling team, get fitted with a helmet and impact vest, and run through a concise land-based safety and handling briefing before moving into 30 minutes of guided on-water riding. The Series 5 and Series 5 Jet boards used here are electric, quick to respond, and designed to reduce wake and fuel-free propulsion, which suits the sensitive estuarine environment. Instructors follow on their own boards to coach, tune setup, and rescue if needed; every session is aimed at progression whether you’re a first-time rider or an experienced fliteboarder testing gear.
What makes this demo special for the Port Macquarie/Urunga stretch of coast is the combination of sheltered river water, nearby riverbanks for easy access, and a local fishing and boating culture that welcomes new electric craft. The Hastings River’s mix of sandbanks, tidal channels and seagrass offers a window into local ecology—keep an eye out for feeding pelicans, swift dolphins, and shorebirds that use the flats. The activity also connects to local history: the Hastings River estuary is part of the traditional lands of the Birpai people, who have relied on these waters for generations.
Practical details are straightforward: sessions are roughly 45 minutes total (30 minutes on the water), minimum age is 12, and standard safety kit including helmets and impact vests is supplied. A $50 booking fee secures your spot and is redeemable toward equipment purchases for 90 days. Meeting is at the park listed above; car parking can be tight on weekends so allow extra time.
For visitors, this demo offers a compact, high-quality introduction to eFoiling that’s both accessible and performance-focused. It’s ideal if you want to test the latest Fliteboard tech, get one-on-one coaching, or simply feel what it’s like to glide silently over the Hastings River’s sheltered estuary.
Bring reef-safe sunscreen, a towel and a water bottle; a lightweight wetsuit is provided but wearing swimwear underneath speeds transitions. For photos, mount a small action camera to your helmet or ask an instructor to capture on-water angles.
