Group courses for beginners at the Wingfoil School on Sal
Wingfoiling is an exciting new water sport that is suitable for everyone, whether you are a complete beginner or have experience in kitesurfing or windsurfing.
In your first wingfoil lesson, you start on the beach to familiarize yourself with the wing. Your wingfoil instructor will then guide you through various wing positions and show you how to hold the wing correctly, launch techniques and methods for stopping and turning. After this thorough introduction, it's off into the water!
First you will use a large board to get used to the wing comfortably. As you progress, you will practice on this board to learn basic skills such as riding upwind and downwind, as well as tacking into the wind and jibing off the wind. These skills are crucial to transition from one move to the next and improve your wingfoil experience.
Once you have mastered all this on the big board, you will move onto the foil board and practice all the skills you have learned. This will prepare you for the first take-off, where you will hover the board above the water.
Wingfoiling offers an exhilarating experience and Sal has excellent locations and ideal conditions to learn and master this sport. The crystal clear waters and constant winds create the perfect environment to progress quickly and enjoy your wingfoil adventure. Whether you are starting out as a beginner or want to hone your skills, Sal offers the ideal conditions for your wingfoil journey.
