WING FOIL LESSONS

What is Wing Foiling?

Wing foiling is a fairly recent wind powered water sport. An inflatable sail (called the “wing”) of triangular shape will help you harness the wind. You hold the wing by two handles to generate power. Just let go the back handle and the pull stops instantly. Put it back on and you will start moving again at a slower pace. Under your feet, you’ll have a board big enough to have you floating. Underneath it, a meter long mast connects it to an hydrofoil. This airplane shaped device flies under water making the mast and the board go up. With practice, you too can experience the feeling of gliding perfection wing foiling offers.

Wing foil lessons’ program:

• Setting up the wing and assembling the foil

• Handling of the sail while standing on the sand

• Moving your board and wing around in the water

• Mastering the most important safety skills

• Learning to wing surf on a board without foil

• Learning to fly an hydrofoil with the wing

Information:

• The wing foil lessons are group lessons (maximum 4 persons per group) with individual radio system, insurance and a rescue boat included. We believe it’s the most efficient and economic way to learn.

• The towed hydrofoil lessons can be private (1 person) or semi-private (2 persons). The lessons consist of being towed by a boat in order to learn how to use the hydrofoil board without having to worry about the wing.

• You need to bring a bathing suit to wear underneath the wetsuit, a towel, some water, some sunscreen and a pair of sunglasses - we provide everything else.

• The duration of each lesson is around 3 hours.

• We recommend one lesson per day as it gets tiring and we need you focused to learn efficiently.

• We set the time of your lesson the day before accordingly with the latest update of the wind forecast - you will get a notification.

• It all depends on the wind so we all have to be fairly flexible.

• Please arrive minimum 15min in advance.

Which package for you?

3h session: This first session is perfect if you want to learn the basics of wing foiling and see if you feel like committing further to the sport.

6h package: You want to improve or refresh some acquired skills before you start riding independently with your own gear? If yes, this package is made for you.

9h package: People with previous board sports experience like wind surfing, wake boarding or kite surfing might want to go with this package to boost their progression.

12h package: If you’re a complete beginner then this is the package you should get. You could also consider it if you’ve already learned to wingfoil but want more time to practice.

Which type of lessons should you choose?

Lessons with individual equipment: the fastest way to progress. If you are fit and want to take the highway to success, then having the ability to repeat try after try is what you want to do. Of course, taking a rest is always possible but you’re the one who decide when and how long you do it.

Lessons with shared equipment: the perfect opportunity to learn how to wingfoil in Portugal with someone you know. Take turns using the wing foiling equipment every 15 to 20 minutes and get the time to rest and observe what your friend is doing. We guarantee that your next attempt will be better.

Towed hydrofoil lessons: offer the opportunity to progress even without wind. Get better at foiling by taking advantage of the constant pull the boat offers. Start flying the foil on your knees and understand the balance before you try standing up.

NOTE: Hours from all wing foil lesson packages can be transformed into towed hydrofoil lessons. 1h lesson with private equipment = 30min of towed hydrofoil lesson. 1h lesson with shared equipment = 20min of towed hydrofoil lesson.
