Why take towed hydrofoil lessons ?

This option is the perfect opportunity to keep improving even if the wind doesn’t show up. You and a maximum of one other person will learn how to fly a hydrofoil easily by taking advantage of the constant pull the boat has to offer. Start flying the foil on your knees to understand the balance before you stand up and make rapid progress.

During this course, my main concern will be to adapt my tailored teaching method to your evolution. This multi-step method is designed to break down complex skills into simple motions and boost your learning curve. This approach and the efficiency of a boat pulling you will make foiling more accessible than ever.

The towed hydrofoil lessons are held at the Obidos lagoon (1h north of Lisbon). The Obidos lagoon is the perfect spot to learn foiling in Portugal due to its flat waters making balancing on the board or the foil a lot easier. Its size is also a big advantage when it comes to being towed behind a dinghy.

Learn to foil by following my step-by-step tailored method and improve like never before. Just book a towed hydrofoil lesson with Wingfoil Now and start living this dream I share.
