The wind lifts off the headland and tugs at the wing as you step from warm sand into chop; the board shivers, then steadies, and for a few breathless seconds the sea is motionless beneath the foil. That first lift—gentle, precise—is what draws people to Platja d'Aro: a stretch of Costa Brava coastline where open beaches meet rocky coves and the wind can make the water feel like a moving stage.

Watch wind direction
Aim for sessions in onshore or sideshore winds; strong offshore gusts can push you out and make self-rescue difficult.

Use high-SPF, reef-safe sunscreen and bring a UV-rated top; reflected sun off the water increases burn risk.
Use provided safety kit
Instructors include a wetsuit, helmet, and buoyancy aid—confirm fit before launch and keep straps snug while foiling.
