Wingfoil lessons in Knokke-Heist, near Bruges

The easternmost beach in Belgium, the beach of Knokke-Heist is located by the Dutch border in Flanders, not far from Bruges. The long stretch of soft golden dunes gives way to the clear waters of the North Sea and its wide, tranquil vistas make it one of the most popular seaside resorts in Belgium! Only a 30 minutes drive from Bruges, the stunning natural environment of Knokke Beach is easily accessible and presents the perfect opportunity to learn how to wingfoil!

Wingfoiling is similar to kitesurfing or windsurfing, but instead of using a kite connected to a regular board, you will be on a hydrofoil and holding an inflatable wing separately. A hydrofoil board sits on top of a one meter mast that lets you ride smoothly above the ocean, giving you the amazing sensation of flying on a magic carpet! The ride is smoother and faster than regular windsurfing and allows you to have longer wave times as well! While wingfoiling may be more technical to start out with than windsurfing, the application of the foil itself is a useful and fun skill that can have you foilboarding at your leisure.

In order to teach you how to wingfoil, Kitesurf Belgium has devised multiple programmes for you to choose between so that you can pick the best wingfoil lesson for you!
