Lessons with Professional WingFoil Instructors
Our team is made up of certified instructors who are passionate about WingFoil. Check out each instructor’s profile to learn about their specialties, spoken languages, and experience.
Private lessons include BbTalkin’ radio helmets for real-time instruction, while semi-private sessions allow you to learn alongside another student without losing personalized attention.
Whether it’s your first time or you're looking to refine your maneuvers, we tailor every session to your level.
WingFoil Introduction for Beginners
Is it your first time with the Wing or the Foil? Don’t worry — we’ll start from the very basics. In your first lessons, you’ll learn how to handle the wing on land, read the wind, and control the traction based on your movements. This initial phase is key to helping you feel confident before hitting the water.
From the very first session, you’ll discover how to harness the wind to your advantage — all in one of Europe’s top wind sports destinations: Tarifa.
You can choose between private lessons or small group sessions. If you opt for a private class, you’ll benefit from one-on-one attention and real-time guidance via radio helmet, making your learning experience more dynamic and personalized.

Intermediate and Advanced Level Lessons
Do you already master the wing or foil and want to progress? In our intermediate and advanced classes, we help you refine technical details, improve your transitions, and take the next step toward more complex maneuvers.
It doesn’t matter if your experience is limited or if you’ve been practicing for a while. You just need to book a minimum 2-hour session, and we’ll assign you an instructor who will tailor the lesson to your goals. Before your session, you can tell us your level so we can prepare the right equipment and the most useful approach for you.
Often, we start by practicing wing technique without the foil on the board, and once you have the necessary control, we move on to foil riding.
Equipment Included in All Classes
You’ll have all the necessary equipment:
Level-appropriate foil board
State-of-the-art wing (ala)
Wetsuit, vest, helmet, and radio helmet
Insurance
Rescue boat
We use professional gear, always well-maintained, so you feel comfortable and safe from the very first moment.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
What are the types of WingFoil courses?
Our WingFoil courses are flexible and tailored to your level. The most common package includes around 6 hours of lessons, usually spread over 2 hours per day. Some students prefer 3-hour sessions, especially if they're in good physical condition. To reach full independence, most students need between 8 and 10 hours of private or semi-private lessons.
Private WingFoil course (1 student)
This option provides the quickest and safest path to learning. You get an instructor fully dedicated to you, tailoring every part of the lesson to your abilities and progress. Private lessons include a radio helmet system, enabling real-time communication with your instructor even on the water. This is the ideal choice for individuals who want to learn fast or prefer one-on-one coaching.Semi-Private WingFoil course (2 students)
In semi-private lessons, each participant uses their own equipment while sharing an instructor. Since attention is divided, both riders should have similar skill levels for the best experience. This option balances effective learning with a more affordable price compared to private lessons, making it great for pairs who want to progress together.Group WingFoil course (3 to 4 students)
Group lessons offer the most cost-effective way to learn — roughly 45% less than private classes. However, because two wings are shared among three or four students, the pace is slower, and you’ll spend time observing peers. We suggest booking at least 8 hours in this format for meaningful improvement. For faster progress without sharing gear, consider booking consecutive lessons or additional instructors.Bigger groups
For groups larger than four or corporate/team-building events, contact us to help coordinate the best experience.How many classes do I need to learn?
The pace of progress in WingFoil varies depending on each student’s experience and skill level. Typically, beginners start with a 3-day course, but some may require a full week or more to gain solid control before confidently navigating on their own. Even when you become independent on the water, it’s always safer to practice with a partner.
Learning WingFoil involves mastering three key skills: handling the wing on land, using the wing with a board (without the foil), and finally, riding the foil once you’ve built enough confidence. Usually, each lesson focuses on one of these stages.
Every learner is unique — some might be ready to hit the water on day one, while others may need extra practice on land during their second session. Our standard course format is 6 hours total, typically split into 2-hour sessions per day.
What’s included in a WingFoil course?
- Professional WingFoil instructor
- Complete equipment package (wing, board, wetsuit, helmet, life vest, and more)
- Accident and liability insurance
- Rescue boat support (available on Levante wind days)
What time are the classes?
That depends on the wind. We always look at the conditions in advance and we will let you know the exact time when we will start the classes.
If it is Levante, the wind is usually present all day, and we usually start around 10:00-11:00. If the wind is from the West, classes usually start around 14:00 in the afternoon, and we usually have wind until 19:00-20:00 or until the wind drops.
You can select your preferred class time on our website, but please note that this schedule may change based on the weather.
Where are the WingFoil classes?
We usually hold our lessons at Los Lances Norte beach, right next to Chiringuito Agua, where the rescue boat service is based.
However, depending on the wind conditions—especially during strong Levante winds in Tarifa—we may move to Palmones, near Algeciras.
Occasionally, we also teach at Valdevaqueros, the football stadium area, Getares, and other spots depending on the weather and sea conditions.
Do you use a communication system with walkie-talkie/radio for classes?
Yes, but this feature is only available in private lessons. We use radio helmet communication, allowing your instructor to speak to you in real time so you can hear their instructions clearly, even while you're out on the water. This real-time guidance makes your WingFoil lessons more effective, helping you progress more quickly with immediate feedback and support.
What is your refund policy in case there is no wind?
Since WingFoil is a wind-dependent sport, we can’t guarantee perfect conditions every day — although in Tarifa, the wind rarely lets us down. If the wind drops during your lesson, we’ll pause the session and either wait for it to return or reschedule the remaining time for another day that suits you. And if weather conditions prevent you from completing your paid hours, we’ll gladly offer you a refund.
