What is a hydrofoil?
A hydrofoil is a big “fin” or a “wing” under a sort of surfboard. It’s been used for a decade now for waterskiing, fast sailboats, kitesurfing races and is now accessible to everyone due to the low aspect ratio wings making it an easier, safer, and a faster learning process.
The main characteristic of a hydrofoil is that it allows you to ride with very little wind (and with a smaller kite) and with hardly any resistance. It's amazing; like flying above the water. This feeling is extremely addictive and cannot be compared to anything else.
Learning hydrofoiling is especially a good investment for those who live close to or visit areas with light wind conditions. You can get on the water with as little as 9 knts and will have no problem getting upwind.
During our hydrofoil kitesurfing lesson you will learn all the basics of hydrofoiling. Afterwards, you can rent the hydrofoil to perfect your skills.
