Can complete beginners learn wingfoiling?+
Yes. Our 6h Beginner Wingfoil Course is made for complete beginners. You start on a large, stable windsurf board, learn to control the wing and to ride, and move to the hydrofoil when you are ready.
What is the difference between wingsurfing and wingfoiling?+
Wingsurfing is riding with a wing on a board that stays on the water surface. Wingfoiling uses a board with a hydrofoil underneath, which lifts the board above the water once you have enough speed. We teach wingsurfing on a stable board first, because it builds the skills you need for foiling.
Do I need kitesurfing or windsurfing experience?+
No. Experience with wind or board sports can help, but it is not required. We start from the basics.
How long does it take to learn wingfoiling?+
It is different for everyone. Wind, water, fitness, balance and previous board-sport experience all play a role. Lessons usually last 2–3 hours, and your instructor adapts each lesson to your progress.
Will I be foiling after six hours?+
We cannot promise that. The 6h course covers wing control and riding a stable board, and prepares you for your first attempts on the hydrofoil – depending on your progress. Some students get there sooner, others need more time.
Why do we start on a windsurfing board?+
A large windsurf board is stable and forgiving. You can focus on handling the wing, your balance and steering, instead of falling off a small board. When these basics feel natural, the move to the foil is easier and safer.
What is the difference between private and semi-private?+
Private is one student, one instructor and one equipment set – all of the practice time is yours. Semi-private is two students with one instructor and one set used in turns, a good option for friends or couples. Semi-private prices are per person – for example 6 hours is ฿10,500 per person (฿21,000 for two).
Can I add more lesson hours?+
Yes. You can book single hours, and after a 6-hour package extra hours are charged at a reduced rate – see the notes under the price table. If you already know you want more time, the 9h and 12h courses are better value.
Where do wingfoil lessons take place?+
At the same spots as our kitesurfing: Nahai Beach in Hua Thanon from about mid-November to mid-March, and Nathon on the west coast from about May to mid-September. We confirm the exact place and time with you on WhatsApp, because it depends on the season, the wind and the water level.
Is the equipment included in the lesson?+
Yes. A suitable training set for your stage is included: the wing, a large stable board at first, and a foilboard with hydrofoil when you are ready for it.
I can already ride a wing. Do I have to start on the stable board?+
No. Tell us what you can already do and we will start from there. The 2-Hour Wingfoil Coaching is built around your level, from the stable board to riding on the foil.
Why does the foil need deeper water?+
The hydrofoil reaches well below the board, so foil exercises need enough depth. At very low water we may stay on the stable board or choose another time. Your instructor plans each lesson around the tide.
What happens if there is not enough wind?+
Wingfoiling needs suitable wind. If the conditions are not right, we offer you another available time or another day.
What should I bring?+
Swimwear, a towel, sun protection, drinking water and a rash guard if you have one. Inexpensive sunglasses with a secure strap are optional.
How do I book?+
Send us a message on WhatsApp with your dates, the course you would like and whether you prefer private or semi-private. We agree the place and time with you.
