Quick Details
Wing Foiling is the future!
Wing Foil has arrived, and it’s here to stay. We loveit! It fits our philosophy perfectly: wind, sea, and intense sensations. Moreover, it has a lot of advantages compared to windsurfing or kitesurfing, especially in Menorca.
- Much easier in the long run
- Much less demanding in terms of wind conditions
- Very safe, especially if we compare it to kitesurfing.
In short, all these advantages make it special. Wing Foiling is a game changer.
How do we learn wingfoiling fast?
At Wind Fornells, we divide the learning process into three stages.
- You learn how to control the Wing (without the foil). If you have some knowledge of windsurfing or kitesurfing, this will be very easy and intuitive. Moreover, this is already lots of fun!
- You learn how to go on the foil (without the wing) behind a motorboat.
- Wing + foil board: we put everything together, and we start doing proper Wing Foiling.
As simple as that! Do you want more details about the learning process? Do not miss our blog article with all the details and our youtube channel for all kinds of tutorials.
How long will it take to fly?
We like to say that between 5 and 30 hours is what it takes to fly comfortably on a Wing Foil. Which is very little compared to other sports such as windsurfing or kitesurfing! And don’t worry! You start enjoying the process from the beginning. In fact, just sailing with the wing on a non-foiling board is lots of fun!
If you have a lot of previous experience, especially in windsurfing, kitesurfing or in other modalities of foiling, you will be closer to 5 hours. If you have very little previous experience, then you will be closer to 30. Be that as it may, it is worth spending the necessary time because the sensations are worth it!
Course levels
-
For those who don’t have experience in water sports. If you have a good base in windsurfing or kitesurfing, you can rent a Wing and a SUP board without the foil and simply get to know the wing.
Content:
- Introduction to basic concepts about the wind.
- Introduction of how to control the Wing on the shore.
- Practising on the water.
- Learning how to sail without drifting with a Wing and a board with no foil.
How many lessons do I need to do at this level?
It depends a lot on your experience with wind sports. You will know that you are ready for the next level (learning how to use the foil) when you know how to come and go without drifting, and you can totally control where you are going. You can also combine classes and rentals, so you can accumulate sailing hours.If you are a kitesurfer or windsurfer, this will be a very quick step.
-
For those who already control the Wing without the foil and haven’t used foil before. You can skip this step and rent a Wing Foil straight away if you have enough experience in kitesurfing foil or windsurf foil.
Content:
- Learning how to get up on foil behind a boat.
- Balancing with the foil in the air.
- Introduction to the feet pumping technique.
How many lessons do I need to do at this level?
It also depends on your experience with foils and your balance. To reach the next level and start renting a full Wing Foil kit, it’s important that you feel comfortable on the air only with the foil (without the Wing).

FAQ
-
It depends. It is easier to attain a good level of Wing Foiling than a good level of windsurfing. So Wing Foiling is easier long term, but on the first days windsurfing is easier.
-
The next step is to put everything together and learn to fly with the Wing. We don’t run courses of this level because it is difficult to have instructor availabity and good wind at the same time. Therefore, it is a good idea to start hiring equipment when the wind is good (we have wind notifications!). Nevertheless, we have a complete guide that will be very useful during your entire learning process!
