Each session begins with 15-20 minutes of focused land instruction, building essential skills before water entry:
Technique Mastery:
Wind and Water Wisdom:
Foiling Fundamentals:
Equipment Intelligence:
Begin with comprehensive equipment familiarization and fundamental technique development on land. Progress to water-based wing control, body dragging skills, and board recovery techniques. Focus on building water confidence while developing essential wing handling abilities in the aquatic environment.
Advanced wing control techniques and power modulation take center stage. Learn to harness wind energy efficiently while developing board riding skills. Practice the critical pre-foiling techniques that prepare you for lift-off, including speed management and optimal body positioning.
The culmination experience focuses on achieving sustained foil flight. Master the transition from displacement riding to flying, develop height control, and learn basic maneuvering while airborne. Build the skills and confidence necessary for safe independent practice after course completion.
Intensive Yet Achievable
Three days provides the optimal balance between intensive learning and skill absorption. This timeframe allows sufficient practice to develop muscle memory while preventing information overload. Students experience dramatic improvement each day, building confidence through demonstrated competence rather than rushed instruction.
Flexible Scheduling Options
Course days don’t need to be consecutive, allowing you to accommodate work schedules, weather patterns, and personal preferences. Book Day 1 and specify your preferences for Days 2 and 3 – we’ll work with your schedule to ensure optimal learning conditions.
Progressive Skill Integration
Each day strategically builds upon previous learning, creating a solid foundation for long-term success. By course completion, you’ll possess the knowledge, skills, and confidence to continue your wingfoiling journey independently.
