Who is wingfoil for?
In our kitexperiment center we provide lessons from 12 years old to 65 years old. The only prerequisite to learn is to be able to swim!

Your progress will depend on the weather conditions but also on your sporting experience and your physical condition.
The sessions are 1 hour in individual lessons and 2 hours in group lessons (limited to 2 students).
