Description
In this two hour small group lesson you will learn the fundamentals of wing foiling. We start the lesson out with some time on the beach as we cover safety, learning about the wind and how to handle the wing. Next we head into the water where you get to practice everything you just learned.
For beginner lessons we will focus on getting you comfortable with handling the wing. You will not be using the foil on your first lesson. We will use a really stable, long windsurf board to help make learning fun, easy, and help you focus on technique. You will be able to sail back and forth and turn around on your first lesson.
