Wingfoiling Lessons

Wingfoiling is an exciting new way to harness the wind and glide effortlessly above the water.

Combining windsurfing, kiteboarding, and foiling elements, this sport uses a handheld inflatable wing to generate lift while riding a hydrofoil board.

With no lines or rigging, wing foiling offers freedom of movement, smooth riding over chop, and an incredible feeling of flying above the water. Perfect for all skill levels, it’s an accessible and thrilling way to experience the ocean like never before.

Wingfoiling FAQs

It always depends on the individual; our lessons are tailored to what ﬁts each person best. Overall it takes an average of 40 hours to be able to foil and stay upwind, but you will be able to practice on your own and ride the board on the water without foiling much sooner. The wingsail and board are attached to you via a leash to prevent you from losing them, and the beginner boards are big enough to float on if you get tired in the water.
Wingfoiling can be safe, but like any water sport, it comes with risks. We strive to make Wingfoiling safe by ensuring students learn under ideal conditions, with the proper safety equipment, and with trained and certified instructors. Unlike kiteboarding, no long lines connect the sail to the rider, and the wing sail has less power than a kite. We also use big, very stable beginner boards to make the process easier.
Your first wingfoiling lesson will focus on getting comfortable with the wing sail, balancing on the board, and understanding basic wind dynamics. This will be done in three key stages: wing sail handling on land, board control on water, and finally, combining the two. The instructor will be in the water with the student to help them balance until they can stand and ride on the board without assistance.

We provide all equipment necessary to get started with our lessons, but in general, you would need:
- A big wing board to start learning on. We recommend taking lessons or at least renting a board, because you will outgrow the board quickly.
- A wing sail (size depends on wind strength and rider size)
- The hydrofoil to attach under your board
- We recommend a helmet and impact or floatation vest
- Depending on the water temperature, a wetsuit.
- Knee pads and booties
To start with, you will need a bigger board, once you learn how to balance and ride you will upgrade to a smaller one. Here are the general guidelines for board sizes;
- 50-60 kg (110-132 lbs): 100-110 liters
- 60-75 kg (132-165 lbs): 110-140 liters
- 75-90 kg (165-198 lbs): 125-160 liters
Our recommendations can vary depending on the conditions you are learning in.
Bring plenty of water and sunscreen, a rash guard/wet-shirt, sunglasses that either float or have a strap. During our cooler months we will provide a wetsuit if you don’t have one. Most importantly, don’t forget your stoke!
