Welcome to WingFoil Training at South of Perth Yacht Club.  In collaboration with Australian Sailing and many Wing Foiling pioneers, we have developed a training syllabus to safely and progressively get people foiling quickly.

This course is ideally suited to:

  • Adults with a strong sailing, surfing or windsurfing background who have good fitness, agility and balance. 
  • Minimum age of 14.

The fee includes coaching and the use of Club equipment including:

  • Naish Hover Foil Boards
  • Naish S26 Foils
  • Naish 4m Wings
  • Some demo gear from F-One
  • SUP's and Windsurfers for Winging (without foils)
  • Coach Boats for towing

We will cover the fundamentals of body and mind intelligence, safe falling, and gradually progress with:

  • SUPing
  • Wingsailing on SUP's or Windsurfers
  • Foiling by Towing
  • Then if deemed safe - Wingfoiling - Bringing it all together


What is a FOIL-LAB?

A 1 day foiling taster designed to give the opportunity to try foiling in a controlled and safe way, core sessions of the FOIL-LAB will be focussed on body-centric foiling classes and specifically what is happening under the water.

- Exposing the body to unstable foiling environments in a safe, controlled setting
