Get to know your wing foiling instructor
Meet our skilled and experienced instructors
I love the wind. It allows us to move effortlessly on water and venture into places we’ve never explored before. Out of passion, I’ve been sailing for as long as I can remember and became a kitesurf instructor a decade ago. Even though I practice many water sports, wing foiling instantly hooked me in. From the moment I got on the board, I realized it was finally possible to fly over water!
Learning a new skill is like a journey. Reaching the destination isn’t the most important. It’s the path each of us takes to master that skill that’s interesting. Our abilities, our motivation, and our understanding of what we have to achieve all blend into a unique way of learning.
This is the quality I look for above all in the instructors I invite to work for Wingfoil Now Portugal. In my opinion, the art of finding the right advice is the most important skill for teaching a sport through hands-on practice in natural conditions.
Who are the instructors ?
Ski instructor in the French Alps in winter and wing foil teacher in Portugal in summer, I’m passionate about board sports and teaching. The lagoon is a perfect spot for beginners, and I come back regularly.
Flying on a foil or floating on powder: what a thrill!
Youri, Wingfoil Now’s instructor.
The beaches of New Caledonia and those of Portugal share one thing: they are incredible playgrounds for water sports. I love teaching wingfoiling because it is the easiest way to combine wind and foil, and to let people discover this revolution.
Once you know how to foil, the possibilities are endless…
Nico, Wingfoil Now’s instructor.
The Importance of a Good Method
To guarantee a high-quality lesson, regardless of which instructor teaches the class, I set out to create a wing foil teaching method that is both progressive and accessible. Each of our instructors has been trained in this method and has made it their own.
Drawing on years of experience, I developed a series of exercises designed to break complex skills down, step by step, into simple movements. During each lesson, our goal will be to offer you the specific exercise that will unlock your abilities and help you move on to the next stage.
