Will Culberson
Hi! Will Culberson here. Here at FoilLakeStevens I am passionate about my sharing my passion for great experiences on the water through the use of eFoils. While instructing, I will accompany each rider on an eFoil of my own, allowing me to give in-water feedback. Not only does this allow for a quicker progression, but it permits each rider to feel calm and confident as they tackle the sport of eFoiling. Our hope is that we would create a space where prospective buyers and water enthusiasts alike can learn how to eFoil in a safe and fun manner.
My Story
Beginning to foil three years ago, I quickly took a liking to wake foiling. Living on a lake I began leaning to pump off my dock, allowing me to steal the waves of passing boats. After my dad purchased two eFoils, I quickly began to develop a love for cruising effortlessly across bodies of water at high speeds. Recently while attending Biola University in Southern California I have begun to learn how to Prone Foil in the Ocean Waves. Through all of this, I have become passionate about sharing my love of hydrofoiling with others, successfully teaching many family and friends the sport. FoilLakeStevens is an opportunity for me to do so in a professional setting.

Luke Needham
Hello my name is Lucas Needham, the latest addition to the dynamic Foil LakeStevens team. While I may be new to the team, my experience with e-foiling spans over the years. My love for water sports is not confined to e-foiling alone; for over a decade, I have been actively involved in surfing, bodyboarding, bodysurfing, and a variety of other aquatic activities. Our passion lies in sharing the exhilarating experience of e-foiling with as many people as possible. We firmly believe that everyone should have the opportunity to feel the thrill of gliding over water on an e-foil. Our vision is to see every lake in Washington blessed with the presence of an eFoil! Looking forward to making waves together
My Story
My love for water sports started in 2015 when my family moved to Oahu, Hawaii for a year. This is where I learned to surf, and from that point on I have loved every watersport that I have tried, both behind the boat or in the ocean waves. A few years ago I discovered foiling, and after just one try, I was hooked. It quickly became my latest obsession, a new thrill that keeps me coming back for more. The past two years I have been attending Cal Poly, in San Luis Obispo, where I have been in the ocean improving my water skills as much as I can, and of course doing a little bit of studying. I am so excited to be joining the FoilLakeStevens team this summer where I can share passion for foiling with others!
