WINGFOIL ACADEMY

FROM BEGINNER TO WING FOIL SURFER IN JUST 3 STEPS

​

Step 1 (wing handling):

After a short theory that includes the most necessary that you need to know about the wind and water, you will learn to use the wing in a short time. You will learn how to carry the wing, steer it, turn it and thus "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 SUP board  Now you can refine the handling of the wing on the water and surf for the first time in light wind and smooth water. You will be surprised how quickly you make progress and surf independently after a short time.

​

Step 3 (wing foiling):

Now we put all the steps together, you will now learn to handle and control the wing on the foil board and will soon be flying alone over the lake driven by the wind, without a motor and almost no noise, very light and almost weightless.

Now you're a wing foil surfer! Congratulations!!

WHICH TYPE OF LESSONS SHOULD YOU CHOOSE

​

Lessons with private equipment: the fastest way to progress. If you are fit and want to take the highway to success, then having the ability to repeat try after try is what you want to do. Of course, taking a rest is always possible but you’re the one who decide when and how long you do it.

 

Lessons with shared equipment: the perfect opportunity to learn how to wingfoil in Portugal with someone you know. Take turns using the wing foiling equipment every 15 to 20 minutes and get the time to rest and observe what your friend is doing. We guarantee that your next attempt will be better.
