Wingfoil lessons and courses

Discover the sensations of wingsurf

Wingsurf or wingfoil is a board sport combining several disciplines

This concept, although quite old, made a strong comeback in 2015. It is a mix of kitefoil, Stand Up Paddle, surfing, and windsurfing. In 2019, it became the big new trend, with wingfoilers appearing everywhere! You equip yourself with a board (surf, SUP, or even windsurf), a foil, and a wing—something like a bird’s wing… and off you go! This sport brings together SUP, kite, surf, and windsurf riders on a single board—and creates a truly vibrant community.

Wingfoil Lesson Overview

First steps in learning wingfoil It is recommended to already know how to foil before starting wingfoil, but it is not mandatory. You start without a harness but with a helmet—for safety reasons.
  • Equipment preparation and handling on land and on the water: Learn how to rig your wing, prepare the foil, and secure the equipment on the beach in strong wind.
  • Safety instructions: We explain the safety rules so you can quickly practice independently.
  • Getting started: Learn how to balance and get onto the board using the wing.
  • First runs: Once standing, learn to maintain balance with the wing and start flying above the water.
