Our Beginner Lessons: The fastest way to learn wing foiling in the west
The process of learning to wingfoil is essentially divided into two main sections, off the foil and flying on the foil. Learning the skills of controlling the wing and board without getting onto foil is absolutely essential and is covered in our Introduction to Winging lesson. This is taught on a large board without a hydrofoil.
The second half of the journey is about getting onto the foil and this is covered in our Wingfoiling Flights course.
Why windy is better
Although it’s possible to learn how to handle the wing in almost any conditions, hydrofoiling requires power in the wing and some speed, so we only run our Wingfoiling Flights courses when there is enough wind.
INTRO TO WINGING (2HRS)
Intro to Winging is the ideal first winging lesson for most. Unless you have a reasonable amount of experience in another foiling discipline, this is the one for you. This session is a 2 hour group session focused on the basics and will progress you from wing handling on land to riding along on a large stable board using the wing to harness the power of the wind.
In this lesson you’ll learn how to get up and go, steer and turn around so that you are ready to progress to a foil board. We will also teach you wind and water awareness.
This session is taught on a large board without a foil.
WINGFOILING FLIGHTS (3HRS)
It’s time to fly… This lesson is aimed at those who have previous experience handling the wing and are ready to progress on to the foil, or those who have a good level of foiling experience in another watersport such as kite foiling, windsurf foiling or surf/sup foiling.
This is a 3 hour intensive lesson (max 4 students per instructor) focused on transitioning from a regular board without hydrofoil to a foiling setup. During this session you will gain the necessary skills to experience your first glides under wing power! This session will introduce you to hydrofoils, how they work and how to use them. In addition we will cover practical guidance on those tricky questions that seem so hard to answer for first time foilers like; kit setup, how to get up wind and what happens if I need to turn around and get back home.
The RYA recommends 8-10 hours of instruction for your first flights, so you may want to come back to extend this lesson.
