What is Wingfoiling?

The Wingfoil is a small wing that pulls you on a paddleboard and even a SUP foil, providing unique, accessible, and fun sensations!!!

You’ll experience the sensations of foil, kite, surf, and even windsurfing. A mix of all the trendy sports, the wing is very playful, providing a feeling of freedom – you’re not attached.

Where are the Wingfoil courses held?

The famous Almanarre beach, located on the Giens peninsula, is renowned for its waves with westerly winds, but especially for its offshore flat water with easterly winds.

You’ll launch from the beach with easterly winds to avoid the waves of La Bergerie.
With westerly winds, you’ll enjoy the summer thermal breezes or Mistral gusts!
We’ll prioritize Almanarre for all coaching sessions.

 

 

On Almanarre beach, areas are exclusively reserved for Wingfoil practice. You’ll be right in the Natura 2000 zone, between pink flamingos and the tombolo.

It is therefore quite natural that our Wingfoil school chose Almanarre beach to provide its Wingfoil lessons and courses for both beginners and experienced riders.

How to Wingfoil?

You can practice anywhere, with family, friends, or solo! Initiation takes place on the beach or on a paddleboard. You’ll learn to handle the wing. Then, we’ll offer you the chance to discover foiling towed behind a boat, or directly with the wing if you’re already experienced with foil sports. We teach either on the beach or in open water depending on conditions, so as not to limit progression due to shore break or upwind riding. Finally, we’ll help you progress with your maneuvers and first surfs!!!

What does a Wingfoil course involve?

Here’s an example of a wingfoil course at Le Spot Kitecenter, Wingcenter!! A beginner Wingfoil course consists of three stages:

  1. The first: handling the wing, with waterstart simulation, movements, and finally transitions, all from the beach.
  2. The second: successfully riding upwind, across, and downwind. All at very low speed without the foil engaging, board flat on the water.
  3. The third: involves gaining more speed to ride in the air on the foil at all three points of sail. At the end of this first lesson, the most skilled will also be able to try transitions (turns), i.e., jibes and tacks.

To conclude, we adapt our teaching to each of our trainees, taking into account your experience in other sports: kite, windsurfing, SUP, or foil. So, Welcome 😉
