Hydrofoil lessons, also known as simply ‘Foil lessons’, is the newest trend in the kitesurfing world.What makes it different from surfing on a regular board is the fact that you levitate above the surface, due to the board’s build- it has a special mast with a fin that goes beneath the water. The fin generates a lot less friction than the surface of the board, so you can levitate above water even during winds as low as 8 knots. Moreover, you can even fly during very weak winds, with our 10m or 12m Kite’s. It’s possible to double the session time in the water, all with the new Foil technology.
he Foil Kitesurfing Lessons are perfect for those who already mastered all 4 levels of PZKITE and want to get some more out of their skills. To do so, you have to be familiar with your board- riding upwind and downwind is key, so your Foil experience doesn’t frustrate you. The Foil mast is 40-90cm, so the lessons and swimming itself takes place in deeper waters. We go out in our motorboat so no need to fear the depth. Hydrofoil surfing is a guaranteed unforgettable experience, and you can explore kitesurfing all over again. Want to try Foil, but don’t know how to kitesurf just yet? Sign up for our motorboat Foil sessions, with instruction for beginners!
The principle of Foil is understanding how levitating works.We start out each lesson on the beach and talk about the foil board, its build and other various topics regarding safety and levitation itself. The next step is learning how to stay up above the water. This is where the fun begins! Any type of experience in swimming with a board will be helpful, but definitely is not necessary. We start levitating by wakeboarding behind the motorboat. It will be easier to concentrate on practicing your balance on the Hydrofoil without first needing to control your Kite, as well as when the motorboat will be constantly running and dragging you behind it.
When you learn how to Foil behind our motorboat, we turn to the next step, which is learning hydrofoiling while kitesurfing.
