Questions

Frequently asked questions

No โ€” the Beginner course starts from zero. We start on the beach getting comfortable with the wing before you're anywhere near the board, then move into flat, shallow water.

It has its own learning curve โ€” handling the wing and finding your balance on the foil takes focused coaching, which is exactly what the small-group format is built for. Most riders get their first real flight within the first few days.

Just swimwear, a towel, and sun protection. Wing, board, foil, wetsuit and boots are all included in every course.

North Fuerteventura has reliable wind most of the year, but if conditions genuinely don't allow a class, we reschedule your session โ€” no charge.

We deliberately cap group size โ€” up to 6 people per instructor, and never more than two sessions running per day, so you get real attention, not just supervision. We mostly do 3-4 students per instructor.

Yes โ€” talk to your instructor. Mixing both, or extending into the Windsurf Camp, is common and easy to arrange on-site, subject to availability.
