How We
Teach
Our wing foil teaching follows the IWO (International Wing Organisation) progressive method. We start on land with wing handling drills before moving to the water. No rushing, no skipping steps.
We begin on large, stable beginner boards close to the beach. As you gain confidence we progress to smaller boards and work towards foiling — lifting clear of the water surface.
Many students achieve their first foiling runs within the Beginner Course. Advanced students work on tacking, jibing and riding in all directions to full independence.

Frequently Asked
Questions
No prior experience needed at all. Wing foiling has its own technique — it does not rely on kite or surf skills. Many of our best students had never tried any wind sport before. A board sports background helps with balance but is absolutely not required.
With the Intro Lesson (2h), most students get their first short foil lifts by the end of the session. The Beginner Course (6h over 3 days) gets most students foiling consistently. The Advanced Course (10h over 5 days) brings full independence in both directions.
Premium wings from Slingshot, sized 4–7m for conditions. Beginner foilboards are large and stable — 100–130 litres. All foils are set at a safe angle for controlled lift. Equipment is replaced every season.
The main season is December–April at Nahai Beach, with the most consistent wind January–March (typically 12–20 knots). From May to October we teach at Nathon Beach. We teach year-round — lighter wind months are actually ideal for absolute beginners as the forces are gentler.
What Our Students Say
Real Google reviews of our home school on Koh Phangan — the same team and teaching method, now on Koh Samui.
"Great kite surfing school! The team at Kite Club got me from zero experience to being independent. Instructors are skilled, attentive, and great at explaining everything clearly. I progressed faster than expected and felt confident every session."
"I was a total beginner and initially signed up just for the intro class, then added another 2 hours. Roman was a great teacher — clear explanations, good structure, very patient. Safety was top priority but he ensured I had fun too. Highly recommended!"
"I had two days of lessons with Abdoul. I've taken kitesurfing lessons in several countries but this was by far my best experience. The equipment was professional. You were provided with a walkie-talkie, which made communication on the water easy."
