Private Lessons

Wing foiling combines the feel of kitesurfing with the glide of a foilboard. Our One Lesson Package covers the fundamentals: wing handling, board control, and the confidence to keep practicing on your own. Ready to go further? The Two Lesson Package builds on that foundation, focusing on upwind riding and foil technique so you spend less time swimming and more time flying.

Lesson 1: Foundations

The first lesson will be in the flat waters of the bay.

 

This lesson covers all you need to know about the gear, safety, weather and techniques required to wing. The first part of the lesson is spent on land until you are flying the wing confidently and understand the safety information.

Then onto the water! Your instructor will follow you in our boat. When you first start winging, you end up drifting very quickly with the wind, so it is extremely handy to have the boat there to drive you back up instead of undertaking a painstakingly long paddle.
