Process and information
Course start: 7:30 or 13:00, the meeting point is 15 minutes before the course starts at our center reception.
Course program:
We have developed a training concept, especially for the Wing Foil that will get you “flying” over the water quickly and safely.
- 1st step (wing handling): after a short theory session on land and the most important things you need to know about the material, wind, and water, you will quickly learn how to handle the wing. You will learn how to carry the wing, steer it, turn it around, and use it to “catch” the wind
- Step 2 (wing surfing): a short time later, we enter the water fully equipped with neoprene, a life jacket, a wing, and a large surfboard. Now you can practise using the wing on the water and surf for the first time in light winds and smooth water. You will be surprised how quickly you will progress and be surfing independently after a short time.
- Step 3 (foiling): after the 1st and 2nd steps, we put the wing aside for a while and focus entirely on the foil and the wonderful feeling of “flying” silently over the water. With the support of our motorboats, you can enjoy foiling for the first time without the wing and wind. It feels a little wobbly at first, but you’ll soon notice that the board stabilizes.
- Step 4 (wingfoiling): now we are putting all the steps together, you will learn to handle and steer the wing on the foil board and soon you will be flying over the sea, powered by the wind, without a motor and almost without noise, very light and almost weightless. Now you are a wingfoil surfer! Congratulations!
You don’t need your own equipment for the wingfoil course. Just bring your swimsuit, sun protection and something to drink. We will provide you with the following equipment during the course:
- Wing
- Wingboard
- Wetsuit
- Helm
- Lifejacket/ lifevest
- Shoes as desired
- Hat and gloves on request
A course unit lasts a total of 3 hours with a maximum of 4 students, of which you have approx. 1 hour of pure water time. During the course, two students share a board and a wing. The duration of the course changes according to the number of participants.

You just need to be able to swim safely and it is an advantage if you have a good sense of balance.
We recommend that you book a 5-day course, which is the average time you need to fly your first metres with the foil. If you need more course days, you can book them one day at a time at a reduced price. We also recommend that you take the VDWS Wingfoil licence at the same time, as you will learn a little more about the rules of water sports and can show your level at any time if you want to rent wingfoil equipment from another school, for example. It is also an advantage from an insurance point of view if you have a “driving licence”.
Further information and FAQ
We will be happy to answer any further questions you may have about the course.
- Where do I register as an external guest (not at the hotel)?
If you are not staying at the Hotel Capo Reamol, please register at the hotel reception before you go down to our school to the meeting point.
- Can I extend the course?
If you have booked a course in advance at our pre-booking conditions, you are welcome to extend the course by the day at the end, provided there are still places available.
- What do I do when there is no wind?
If there is no wind, we will try to postpone the course, so we recommend starting the course on the first day of your holiday to have the necessary time buffer. If it is flat and you are unlucky with the wind, we will issue a voucher that is valid for one year and can be redeemed at all destinations.
- What do I do if I am ill?
If you fall ill during the course and are unable to attend, we will also try to postpone the course or alternatively issue a partial voucher that is valid for all destinations.
