Beginners’ Wingfoil Course

Wingfoil Beginners’ Course

€350 · 5 hours · 1 to 2 days depending on the wind · small group for beginners

The basic wingfoil course is the perfect way to learn wingfoiling professionally and safely. Over one or two days, you’ll discover everything you need to know about wingfoiling, step by step, both in theory and in practice, using top-of-the-range F-ONE equipment.

To ensure rapid and effective progress, lessons are taught in small groups with a maximum of four students per wingfoil instructor. For safety reasons, two students share a set of wingfoil training equipment during the basic course. Students who progress more quickly can then move on to semi-private or private lessons on request.

The theory

• The wing
• Le spot check
• The wind
• The equipment
• The development of propulsion
• The management
• Interaction with the board
• Trajectories and paces
• Setting up and handling the equipment

The practice

• Flying exercises on the beach
• Handling the wing in the water
• Starting in the water, first with a SUP board
• Start by walking on your knees for the first few metres
• Then stand up while sailing on a level keel
• Trajectory exercises
• Taking the high ground
• Depending on your progress: foil take-off technique

After the lesson, every minute of practice on the water counts. You can therefore continue practising on your own thanks to packages that combine lessons with equipment hire. These packages offer better value than booking each service separately on the day.

Wingfoil beginner packages including hire

Private and semi-private wingfoil lessons

Private wingfoil lessons can be booked on a date of your choice. They are designed for anyone who would like personalised instruction, either alone or in a pair, with a dedicated instructor. The course content is fully tailored to your ability, your goals and your pace of progress.

Whether you want to try wingfoiling for the first time, work on your navigation, improve your manoeuvres or speed up your progress on the foil, this tailor-made package offers highly personalised and particularly effective coaching.

Semi-private lessons are available only to two students travelling together. The centre cannot provide a second partner for a student booking a semi-private lesson on their own. You should therefore only book this option if your training partner is travelling with you.
