Learn to glide over the water with the instructors from Base Nautique de l'Ouest during this private wingfoil lesson in Saint-Gilles les Bains!
Do you know how to swim and want to learn a new water sport? Or perhaps you've already had a go at wingfoil but not enough to really enjoy the sport? Then this private wingfoil lesson in the bay of Saint-Gilles les Bains on Réunion Island is for you! Available from the age of 13, this tailor-made course will enable you to make significant progress thanks to the guidance of your experienced instructor.
Join this wingfoil course lasting just over 1 hour and take advantage of an exceptional setting to learn wingfoil in Réunion Island! Wingfoil combines the use of an inflatable wing and a float fitted with a foil, enabling you to fly above the surface of the water. Try it and you'll be blown away by the feeling of lightness and freedom that this sport gives you!
Depending on your level, your professional instructor will adapt the course to meet your expectations. If you are a beginner, the approach will be gentle and you will first learn to handle the wing kite with a stable board without a foil. Next, you'll discover how to handle the board with its foil towed behind a motorboat to learn how to manage your balance. Finally, depending on how comfortable you are, you can combine the wing with the foil board!
If you already have experience of board sports, the instructor will prepare a wingfoil course tailored to your needs, using a board fitted directly with a foil. He'll also use your experience to suggest the right exercises for you. Back at the base, you can then debrief with the instructor and discuss your progress.
Don't hesitate to book this wingfoil course in Saint-Gilles to improve your skills in the welcoming surroundings of the Base Nautique de l'Ouest in La Réunion!
