– Wingfoil:
We offer group wingfoil lessons (4 people maximum) with radios, insurance and rescue boat included. We believe this is the most efficient and economical way to learn wingfoiling. You can either choose to have a full set of equipment at your disposal for the duration of the course, or decide to share it with just one friend. Wingfoil equipment rental times are based on lessons times to benefit from the best wind slot possible.
– Kitesurf:
Private kitesurfing lessons include an instructor just for you as well as radio communication devices, insurance, radio communication devices, rescue boat and all the equipment.
– Efoil:
Efoil lessons will be done in groups of two students maximum, each with their own dedicated efoil board.
– Parawing:
Parawing lessons are group lessons (4 people maximum, some of whom can wingfoil) with radios, insurance and rescue boat included. Parawing equipment rental times are based on lessons times to benefit from the best expected wind range.
Which type of lesson should you choose?
Private gear wingfoil lessons
It’s the best way to improve quickly. If you feel fit and want to take the shortest way toward improvement, then having the ability to practice many times in a row is what you want. Of course, taking a break is always possible but you decide when to do it and for how long.
Shared gear wingfoil lessons
This is the perfect opportunity to learn to wingfoil in Portugal with a friend. By taking turns using the wing foiling equipment every 15 to 20 minutes, you will get the time to rest and observe what your buddy is doing. I can guarantee that your next attempt will be more successful.
Wingfoil rental with private equipment
You already know how to wingfoil and you go upwind with confidence, rent wingfoil equipment to take advantage of the incredible conditions offered by the Obidos lagoon. Rental times are the same as lessons times to benefit from the best wind range of the day.
Efoil lessons with private equipment
Efoil lessons are the most effective way to learn to fly a hydrofoil. Boost your progress by booking an efoil course near Lisbon with Wingfoil Now Portugal. These lessons are best done when there is no wind and the water is flat.
Parawing lessons with private equipment
Parawing lessons can be done by practitioners of all levels. If you have never done hydrofoiling, consider combining parawing lessons with efoil lessons to accelerate your progression curve. Learn to follow the swell in complete freedom by booking your parawing course near Lisbon in Portugal.
Private kitesurfing lessons
Learn to kitesurf on the shallow, flat water of Óbidos lagoon with a patient, experienced instructor just for you. You stay in contact by radio during the whole lesson, and all the equipment is included. See the kitesurfing lessons in Portugal.

Hours session
If you’re a complete beginner then this is the package you should take. You could also consider it if you’ve already learned to ride but want more time to practice.
A small wingfoil school in Portugal, built around a few instructors
Wingfoil Now is a human-sized water sports centre with a few selected instructors teaching on Óbidos lagoon, one hour north of Lisbon. My name is Florian, I have 25 years of sailing experience and taught kitesurfing for a decade before wingfoiling arrived. When I started winging, I put everything I knew about teaching into one method. At Wingfoil Now Portugal we use that method in every lesson.
Groups are capped at four students. Everyone wears a radio, so we can talk you through each step while you are on the water, improving at a faster pace than ever. A rescue boat is always on the lagoon, insurance is included, and so are the wetsuit and all of the equipment. You turn up with a swimsuit, a towel and sunscreen, and we take care of the rest.
How a wingfoil lesson works, step by step
Every student learns differently, so we tailor the exercises to you, but every course follows the same progression:
- We start on the beach, checking the wind, the spot and the equipment together.
- You learn to handle the wing on land, without a board, until it feels natural.
- We cover the safety skills: how to stop, self-rescue and get back to the beach.
- You move the board and wing around in the water and learn to stand up on the board.
- You sail on a board without a foil to build upwind control and confidence.
- Finally, you balance and ride on the hydrofoil and start to fly.
Most complete beginners need around 12 hours to ride on the foil comfortably. If you already kitesurf, windsurf or wakeboard, you will usually get there faster.
Planning a wingfoiling holiday in Portugal
Wind conditions change from day to day, so I set the exact time of each lesson the evening before, based on the latest forecast. The best plan is to give us a window of several days and let us place your lessons at the best times. One lesson a day is plenty; wing foiling is tiring in the best possible way.
Óbidos, Foz do Arelho and Caldas da Rainha all have places to stay within a short drive of the lagoon, and Lisbon airport is about an hour away. If the wind takes a day off, we switch to efoil so you keep progressing.
Wingfoil, kitesurf, or both?
Wingfoiling is the easiest wind sport to start: no lines, no big kite, and the power stops the moment you let go of one handle. Kitesurfing gives you more power and bigger jumps once you know how to ride. We teach both on the lagoon, so if you are not sure which to choose, get in touch and we can plan a mix.
