Lesson 1: Handling a sail on the beach
Kite Control & Safety: On the first day, you will learn how to control the kite (sail) on the beach. You'll learn about safety systems as well as the basics of weather and safety. The aim is to be ready for the boat session!
Lesson 2: Water Start
Boat or Lagoon Session: Boat sessions start with body dragging, techniques for launching the kite into the water, followed by water starts and progression to your first runs. The boat follows you, always in visual contact, with the instructor supervising your progress. The sessions on the boat allow you to progress quickly and safely.
- Understanding the wind
- Kite preparation
- Safety systems
- Power zone, launching and landing
Lesson 3: Pulling edges to one side
Practice the basics: kite launches, water starts and windward descents, to optimise control of the kite and board, and possibly the first upwind runs.
A chance to refine and improve the techniques learned in previous sessions under the supervision of experts.
Lesson 4: Pulling on the edges of the 2nd side
Let's go for our first beach start session. Day one you learn to control the kite on the beach, day two and three you progress to your first open water rides.
If the conditions are right, we have the option of replacing the boat session with a beach start session.
This is the time to learn how to prepare and organise your own session properly. Start from the beach and return safely, optimising rapid and intelligent progress.
Lesson 5: Upwind
Beyond.... Together with the instructor and other trainees, you'll decide what the session will be. With precise and tailored objectives, "These sessions will take you to the next level in your kite surfing journey."
Our wingfoil school is a wonderful spot, the joy of the first glide never leaves you, it stays with you.
There are many advantages to practising wingfoil in Portugal. Much more than a sport, it's a way of life, a way of cultivating your well-being. Wingfoil helps you refocus and free yourself from the tensions of everyday life.
If you're ready to give it a try, check out the wingfoil courses offered by our Obidos wingfoil school - Lisbon, Portugal.
This is the start of a new adventure, a new range of emotions that from this moment on will continue to push you, in the middle of the waves, in search of thrills and the repetition of this wonderful magic.
In short, Wingfoil can be used at your leisure, depending on your level, your desires and the conditions available to you... and it seems to be the easiest way (proportionately speaking) to learn to foil.
Finally, and above all, we'd be tempted to say that, contrary to what we might have thought, it's relatively accessible, Wingfoil is neither a power sport nor a speed sport, and its symbolism is very strong.
But whatever your previous experience of water sports, we strongly advise you to take lessons if you want to make rapid progress.
