Wingfoiling Intro Course in Playa Blanca, Lanzarote for Beginners

This 2-hour lesson in Playa Blanca uses boat-assisted tow-in to get you foiling quickly in flat, sheltered south coast waters. It suits beginners aged 12 and up comfortable in open water.

Highlights

  • Boat-assisted tow-in method unique in the Canary Islands

  • Certified instructors with maximum 4 students per group

Description

Most first-time wingfoilers spend much of their session waiting for wind or struggling to reach foiling speed. Our lessons use a boat to tow students up to foiling speed from the start, so you spend your time foiling rather than waiting.

Based in Playa Blanca on Lanzarote’s sheltered south coast, you’ll experience your first real foil lift often within the first hour. The calm, flat water and protection from northeast trade winds make this location significantly easier for beginners than exposed spots like Famara.

The 2-hour introduction includes:

  • Shore briefing covering safety, equipment, and technique
  • Water time with boat assistance to reach foiling speed
  • Hands-on coaching from IKO-certified instructors
  • Progression at your own pace in protected water

Small groups of up to 4 students per instructor ensure personalized coaching, not just supervision. WingFoil Playa Blanca is part of KabotiSurf, with over 15 years’ experience, 677 five-star reviews, and a 4.9 rating.
