Activity description

Whether you are a beginner or already experienced, our wingfoil lessons are designed to suit your level and your goals. Our progressive teaching method lets you improve quickly, safely and with personalised coaching.

Learning starts with paddle wing, an essential step to discover how to handle the wing, understand how to manage the wind's power and acquire the right reflexes gently. You then move on to towed foil, which lets you make your first flights above the water and understand the specific stance of the foil without having to manage the wing at the same time. Finally, an instructor accompanies and follows you by boat during the wingfoil sessions to guide you step by step towards your first runs and help you progress effectively.

Thanks to this structured approach, each student receives tailored teaching that helps them gain confidence, master the technical basics and fully enjoy the unique sensations of wingfoiling.

The waters of Balagne offer an ideal setting to discover wingfoiling in Corsica when conditions are right. This activity is aimed at motivated beginners as well as riders looking to progress. Between Calvi and L’Île-Rousse, Algajola lets you learn in an exceptional natural setting. Wingfoiling is a technical activity, but very rewarding, that quickly gives you a feeling of freedom on the water.
