Wingfoil Lesson Prices
Intro to Winging
- Intro to Winging - Duration 1.5hrs$120This one-on-one course will introduce you to the Wing, including set up, pack down and essential safety protocols.
You will first be guided through a series of handling exercises on land to get the feel of the wing and how to use as a means of propulsion and navigation.
You be shown the essentials of how to start – that is how to get on a board and transition from kneeling to standing.
Initially this will be followed by on-water practice using a high volume stable non foiling board such as a SUP or Windsurf training board.
Students will typically not be introduced to the concepts of foiling nor actually try a foil board in this initial lesson

Wingfoil complete course
- Wingfoil full course - 3 x 1.5hr lessons$350This course is typically spread over several days and is intended to be one-on-one with an instructor.

Subsequent lessons aim to introduce the student to the foiling element of the sport.
Please note that students will need to demonstrate a satisfactory aptitude with handling the wing and successful navigation using a SUP or Windsurf Training board before progressing to using a foil board. The instructor reserves the right to make the determination of when the student is ready to make this progression.
