The vast ocean, powered by the wind, is an endless playground waiting for you to explore. With your foil setup, we add a wing to harness the wind, allowing you to enjoy endless foil rides using one of nature's free resources. Learning to wing foil will open up opportunities to venture into the waves and embark on exciting downwind runs across the ocean. Video Link
Our lessons start on the beach, where you'll learn to harness the wind with the wing for the first time or master advanced techniques for turning, surfing, or downwinding. Once you're comfortable with these new skills, we'll head out onto the water for real-time practice and on-demand coaching and instruction. Join us and embark on your next unforgettable endless ride

Hydrofoil Lessons
Learn MoreCovewater team is offering now Private Foil Lesson with Zac (the Covewater Boat). The best way to learn properly how to foil is by being towed at low speed behind a boat. Zac that has been specifically set up for it. It has a board rack and a lateral carbon mast that will allow you to stay out of the wake when being towed. This will enable you to get the “feel of foiling” and understanding on how to control the altitude like flying above water.
