Hydrofoil Classes
Kitesurfing will give you the feeling of riding a magic flying carpet on water
Kitesurfing will give you the feeling of riding a magic flying carpet on water
A hydrofoil is a board with a mast up to a meter in height that allows you to rise from the surface of the sea, sailing with minimum friction and free of any noise. The hydrofoil board allows you to practice kitesurfing even in very light winds, making it possible to ride for long distances with much less fatigue than traditional boards.
At our school, you can learn how to use FOIL KITE FLYSURFER, a type of kite that does not need to be inflated and is more similar to a paraglider, featuring:
＞ Lightness, stability, and greater lift in light wind conditions
Hydrofoiling needs less power than traditional kitesurfing, letting you hit the water even on calmer days.
Feel almost weightless as the foil lifts you above chop, delivering a soft, quiet ride.
Punta Trettu’s steady breeze and relatively flat waters reduce falls, letting you focus on mastering foil nuances.
Explore mast heights, board shapes, and best practices for a controlled, safe start.
Master balance and body positioning to lift off the foil and touch down smoothly.
Learn to adjust kite power and board angle to sustain glide and ride effectively upwind.

Use of the Foil Kite
The Hydrofoil course will start by learning how to body drag with the board, which is a necessary skill in order to be able to move away from the beach in all kinds of spots, even with onshore breaking waves or shallow water
After that you will start to ride the board until you get the right confidence to maintain a correct stance with adequate speed. To do this, we will use boards with different mast sizes, specifically designed for learning
The hydrofoil lessons are designed for those who are already independent riders and are curious to cross the new frontiers of kitesurfing.
• The lessons will take place in an area not far from Punta Trettu, where we have the necessary depth for this type of board
• Students will be taught step-by-step by qualified instructors supported by a motor boat and a radio helmet
• The course will evolve according to the student’s ability. For those who already are experienced hydrofoil riders, we offer advanced lessons where you can refine and master turns and jibes
N.B. Price includes boat rental.
