The objective of the course is to introduce participants to wingfoiling or to refine their existing skills, improving control of the wing and board up to the first glides and independent sailing, always in complete safety.
The course consists of 3 practical lessons, carried out with a qualified instructor and a safety support boat. Activities take place at the Scuola di Mare of the Yacht Club Italiano and in Voltri, depending on weather conditions. The program is progressive and tailored to each participant, ranging from learning the basics to refining technique, including wing control, board handling, and the first or more advanced attempts at foiling. Lessons are available by reservation, every day and weather conditions permitting.
No specific experience is required. Participants must be able to swim and have a good attitude towards water and wind sports. A valid medical certificate for non-competitive sports activities is required. Participants should also bring an appropriate wetsuit suitable for the season and a windbreaker jacket.
The course is designed for teenagers and adults aged 12 and over, both absolute beginners and those who already have experience and wish to improve and refine their wingfoiling technique.
