Discover
the thrill
of wingfoiling

Overview

Wingfoiling is a new discipline that combines the best elements of windsurfing, kitesurfing, stand-up paddling, surfing, and foiling in general. It is an accessible sport that allows you to quickly experience the unique sensation of flying above the water. Without a doubt, it is one of the best ways to discover the world of foiling.

You will start on larger boards to give you greater stability and balance.

The lessons

With more than 7 years of experience teaching wingfoil, we offer practical, real-world instruction while giving you the essential skills and habits needed to make wingfoiling a true pleasure.
Throughout your course, you will be guided by state-certified instructors who share their passion and expertise in a safe and supportive environment. To encourage fast progress, we keep our groups small, with no more than 3 to 4 students per instructor depending on skill level.
To maintain this level of quality, you will also be equipped with radio helmets, making learning easier by allowing you to receive precise technical coaching and safety instructions at any time.

Session 1: Discovery
  • Learning how to get equipped and set up the gear
  • First sail handling exercises on the beach
  • First water start on the board without foil
  • First rides
  • Balance control on the board
  • Learning the points of sail: upwind, beam reach, and bearing away
Warning: You may start using the foil towards the end of the session if all previous exercises have been properly mastered. Only the instructor can decide this; it is neither mandatory nor automatic, as it depends on each person’s progress.
Session 2: Getting Started
  • Review and consolidation of the skills learned during the first session with the foil
  • Building speed
  • Managing sail power
  • First take-offs on the foil
3rd session: Flight
  • Review and consolidation of the skills learned during previous sessions
  • Longer flights
  • Understanding stability
Session 4: Gaining Confidence
  • Review and consolidation of the skills learned during previous sessions
  • Extending your ride on both tacks
  • Controlling direction and speed over a given distance
  • Start riding upwind on the foil
Additional lesson: Independent Riding

  • First transitions (jibe)

Here, within the sessions, the different skills are distributed as a guide only and will depend on your learning progress. Progression in wingfoiling is different for everyone and depends on several factors, such as weather conditions, physical condition, etc.

Progress is not always linear either. Some sessions may lead to major improvement, while at other times you may feel like you are standing still. That is completely normal, which is why we offer a personalised learning experience tailored to your own progression.

Private lessons:

Private lessons are designed for anyone who wants to learn faster or focus on a specific stage of their wingfoil progression.

If you are looking for quicker progress and full one-on-one attention, private lessons are the ideal option.

Supervised riding:

(with equipment hire)

This option is designed for riders who have completed a course, do not yet have their own equipment, and would like closer supervision from an instructor along with expert advice. It includes return transport, guidance on the spot, weather, tides, equipment settings, the practice area, as well as supervision and support on the water from an instructor.

Towed foiling:

A towed foiling session is the perfect way to learn how the foil works. Thanks to a rigid bar attached to the boat, you can focus entirely on controlling the foil, understanding how it behaves, and developing the right reflexes. This will make it much easier later on when learning to manage the foil together with the wing.
