WING FOILING
Do they fly over the water? Something like that! Foiling is the absolute trend in water sports. But this new technique doesn’t just look spectacular – it’s a genuine innovation!

When foiling, you’re lifted off the water whilst riding thanks to the dynamic lift generated by the hydrofoil beneath the water. This means the hull no longer touches the water and the surfboard hovers above the water’s surface. High speeds can be reached even in light winds, as the wing-like foils beneath the surfboards reduce displacement and frictional drag.

For a fee (prices available on request at the venue):

• Weekly introductory wing session on the beach
• Rental of foiling boards
• Private introductory course

Surfing skills required:

• Ability to glide confidently in the foot straps and use a harness
• Water start
• Wing foiling – technical requirements: none

KITESURFING*
Take off and glide over the water!

Equipment and conditions:

• ideal kitesurfing spot
• well suited to beginners and very well suited to advanced riders
• Offered by the local kitesurfing school “7BFT-KiteHouse”*

Free of charge:

• Shuttle service to the “7BFT-KiteHouse”

For a fee (prices available on request at the venue):

• Kite equipment hire
• Kiteboarding courses for beginners and advanced riders

E-FOILING
Are you ready to experience the water in a new and adventurous way? With e-foiling, you can glide across the water with the ease of surfing and the speed of sailing. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced surfer – flying has never been this easy!

An e-foil is an electrically powered hydrofoil surfboard that combines state-of-the-art technology with the classic surfing experience. The hydrofoil wing underwater generates lift as you accelerate, lifting the board out of the water, which reduces drag and gives you a feeling of floating. Thanks to its battery-powered motor, the e-foil can be used regardless of wind and waves. It combines speed, control and agility, offering a new and environmentally friendly way to enjoy water sports.

For a fee (prices available on request at the venue):

• Introductory courses including equipment hire

Courses and services:

• 60-minute introductory course: In this intensive 60-minute course, you’ll be introduced to e-foiling step by step. After a brief briefing on land, you’ll head straight out onto the water, where you’ll try out your first manoeuvres, first whilst lying down and later whilst standing.

¹ A minimum of 3 participants is required for all courses.
