We explain it to you in a simple way:
The process is usually divided into three days. Every day you will learn new concepts and put into practice the concepts already learned.

Once you have completed the three days of the course, you will be able to do your first pitches but you will not be independent.

1. FIRST DAY – BASIC NOTIONS

On this day we will start with a brief theoretical part. Next, we will learn how to assemble the wing and control it in the sand. We will end up sailing on a large volume Paddle.

2. SECOND DAY – FOIL CONTACT
You will learn how to ride the foil and we will put into practice what we learned in the first class on a specific board for Wingfoil. We will have the first sensations with the foil.

3. THIRD DAY- IMPROVEMENT
We will help you perfect your foil technique, set courses and try your first transitions.

Yeah! We ask for experience in wind sports for the beginner rental and, in addition to that, experience in foils for renting the complete Wing + Foil package. If you don’t meet that, go through our courses! You will make your life much easier!

The danger is minimal with a fairly large foil, not very fast and not very sharp. Safety comes from the choice of material: a board with good buoyancy), practiced close to the shore, on a calm sea, with a weak side wind of 15 to 20 knots, allows you to reach the shore on dry land quickly in case drift, while the land wind tends to push you towards the open sea.

The level of danger is determined by your choice of material and conditions.

• The gear: the larger and slower the foils are, the less sharp they will be and therefore will not be dangerous. On the other hand, with high aspect foils the edge surface tends to be reduced as much as possible to minimize friction in the water and maximize speed. Therefore, with those foils you must be very careful not to hit yourself or to be well protected so as not to suffer cuts or injuries.
• The conditions: if you have any problems on a day with a weak side wind of 15 to 20 knots, it will be much easier for you to reach the shore in case of drift, while the onshore wind tends to push you towards the open sea.

Yeah. All official kitesurfing schools in Tarifa have a rescue boat service to assist our students at all times: loss of board, difficulty returning to shore, any damage caused to the equipment.

These companies only provide service in authorized areas (exclusive teaching areas for official schools)
