Information and process
Meeting point: 20 minutes before the course starts
Course schedule: 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 go into the water fully equipped with neoprene, life jacket, wing and a large surfboard. Now you can practise handling 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 make 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 devote ourselves entirely to 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.
- 4th step (wingfoiling): Now we are putting all the steps together, you are learning to handle and steer the wing on the foil board and will soon be flying over the sea powered by the wind all by yourself, 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
- Wing board
- Wetsuit
- Helmet
- Life jacket/ life vest
- Shoes according to preference
A course unit comprises a total of 3 hours with a maximum of 4 students, of which you have approx. 1,5 hours of pure water time. During the course, two students share a board and a wing. If there are fewer than 4 students, the course duration is reduced according to the number of participants.
You don’t need any special requirements or knowledge to learn wing foiling. You just need to be able to swim safely and it is an advantage if you have a bit of a sense of balance.
We recommend that you book a 5-day course straight away, which is on average the time you need to fly the first few meters with the foil. If you need additional course days, you can book them on a daily basis at a reduced price.
Further information and FAQ
We will be happy to answer any further questions you may have about the course.
- 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.

If there is no wind, we try to postpone the course, so we recommend starting the course on the first day of your vacation to have the necessary buffer. If it is calm 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.
