Foil/Wingfoil lessons in Naxos per hour
Activity Description
Hydrofoiling and wingfoiling are new sports evolved from kitesurfing. They give you an unforgettable smooth feeling and can be practiced with less wind and smaller kite (or wing) compared to normal kitesurfing. Mikri Vigla is perfect for progression foilers. In our center we use only FULL CARBON gear from Moses.
Participating in hydrofoil courses requires prior excellent kite control and balance with the kiteboard. Previous experience with a directional board is a plus. We supervise using radios and hand signals. Your progression starts from the first foil drag up to your first tacks. This sport needs some practice time, but with a strong kitesurfing background it comes quite fast. We focus on your safety and pleasure. It’s best to do no more than 2 hours in a row, as fatigue slows down the progress later on.
In the end of your lesson you may get a registered KC Progression/Member Card. That shows your progression and gives you the chance to continue your course or rent equipment later on.

Some tips for having quality Hydrofoil supervision:
- Hydrofoiling needs less wind than normal kitesurfing. Flat water is a big advantage in your foil session, so try to take advantage of low wind days.
- Don’t go for a Hydrofoil session with wind more than 20 knots or less than 8 knots.
- Hydrofoiling also needs deep and clean water (no seaweed etc)
