It is a very versatile sport and is for a wide variety of different body sizes and athletic abilities. Anyone can do it, including the kids and grandparents!

Windsurf Foiling Lessons

Windsurf foiling brings windsurfing to a whole other level. It will help you maximize those not-so-windy days and it feels like you are flying. You should know how to windsurf before attempting to take windsurf foiling lessons.

Wing Foiling Lessons

Wing Foiling is the real-life version of flying above water. It is easy-flowing and feels much more similar to surfing than windsurf foiling.  

The first lesson for wing foiling is all about how to control the wing and is more complex. Wing foiling is definitely for someone looking for a new hobby. It takes around 2 to 3 lessons to master and be able to wing foil for someone who has never done the sport.

Lesson Information

How long are the lessons?

 Our beginner lessons are usually 2-3 hours long, and almost everyone is able to sail around Tampa Bay by themself at the end of the lesson. One lesson gets you a solid foundation in the basics. You may want more lessons as you progress to learn how to advance your skillset.

Where do the lessons take place?

 Lessons take place in various locations based on the wind forecast. (Location will be sent to you after booking).

What should I wear and bring?

 You will be in the water and being active - so dress for comfort. Bathing suits and board shorts are fine, you may want to wear a rash guard or t-shirt you don't mind getting wet for sun protection. In the winter months, the water may be chilly - we do have wet suits to fit most people if they are necessary. You may want water shoes, but it is fine to go barefoot too. You will want to bring sunscreen and water.

What if I don't have a lot of upper body strength?

 No problem! We emphasize technique and balance when learning and we have specialty beginner gear that is lightweight and easy to handle.

Can kids and/or older folks learn to windsurf?
 Of course! Windsurfing is a great sport for people of all ages. The only requirements are that you be comfortable in the water, able to get from a sitting or kneeling position to standing, and that you want to learn to windsurf.
Do I need to know how to swim?
Yes. You do not have to be a fantastic swimmer, but you do need to be able to swim a short distance and most importantly be comfortable in the water (i.e. you won't panic if you fall into deep water). Often, our lessons take place in areas that are only 2 to 4 feet deep - but you may also be in water that is over your head. We provide life vests if you request them ahead of time.
