Learn to foil with minimal effort - we will enable you to have a successful start into foiling with licensed VDWS foil specialists!
Training for one to two hours on the foil board as a basis for independent learning. Your instructor will give you an introduction to the handling of foils, their differences to conventional boards and their riding characteristics. Entry and exit to the water as well as water start procedures and special situations are basic content of the course.
The courses take place daily and last a maximum of 2 hours. In the high season, foil training is only possible spontaneously. Successful training with a foil board requires a lot of free space. For this reason and also because of the wind conditions the courses usually take place in the late morning. The course can take place on land, in water or mixed. The private foil kite course on the water is one-on-one instruction with radio contact to the instructor. You receive direct input and can give your own feedback at any time. You are in contact with the instructor throughout the course and are accompanied by him. The instructor will help you to get in and out of the water as well as to start / land and transport the foil board.
To learn to kite with foils, you must have a very good feeling for the kite and be able to ride strapless directionals.
