Wing group lessons

soalsurf

Get together with a friend or acquaintance to enjoy wingen! You will get a lot of attention and help from the instructor who will make sure you learn all the techniques quickly. You may find yourself swinging back and forth within an hour!

Whether you come alone or in pairs, you can always join a group lesson. With a group of up to four students, you'll take to the water. Everyone gets their own wing and board. The lesson lasts two hours.

Are you more advanced or do you enjoy getting one-on-one guidance? Then book a private lesson. Together with your instructor you continue where you left off. The wing instructor will answer all your questions. Do you choose a package? Then you are completely free to schedule your lessons in one week, month or year!

Reviews of Wing group classes

Top, just Top! Very nice club with only nice people. A private lesson (kite) from Eline.... If you already have some experience she is definitely recommended to continue learning. Visited the shop after the lesson and of course went home with some nice things. Thanks Soal for the nice experience

Laurent

What a great location! Lovely stretch for windsurfing and kitesurfing. Water nice and shallow, so you can stand very far, perfect for beginners. In the store you can buy and rent. Highly recommended!!!

Daam

I had a great experience! The instructors were all friendly and when things didn't work out for a while, they were all positive. If you want to learn, this is the perfect place! Definitely highly recommended!!!

Building Wing group classes

Steps lesson plan Wing group lessons Workum | Friesland | Netherlands | Europe A private kitesurfing lesson takes two hours with us, you will learn how to set up the equipment, you will learn the safety rules, you will learn bodydragging, water starting & sailing!

1. What does your lesson look like?

We welcome you to Soalsurf!

Be present 15 minutes prior to the start of class. Report to one of our staff members.
They will put them on present and introduce you to the instructor who is going to give you a great day!

2. Getting ready for class

You can store your clothes and belongings in lockers, for this you have to bring a lock. The suits, trapezes and crash vests are replaced and cleaned every season. You may bring your own surf clothes if you have them.
Once changed into your surf suit, trapeze, crash vest and helmet you are ready to start your kitesurfing lesson.

3. Building

The lesson begins in the lesson steps of the IKO. You start with a spot chick and building up the kite on the beach. Once you have done this you will learn to launch the kite and go out on the water with your instructor.

4. Kiting

When there is sufficient wind, we go out on the water with a kite. That is with twelve knots of wind or more. When the wind is less strong we go kitesurfing on the beach with real kites. For this we have specially invested in Flysurfer Peak kites. These kites are designed for days with little wind.

5. First piloting

Once the kite is in the air we will do first piloting. The kite will be handed to you and the instructor will teach you how to fly the kite in a safe and controlled way. Slowly you get better and better and you become the boss of the kite!
- you will learn the theory about the wind window
- you will learn how to take off and land the kite
- how to walk with the kite in the air
- what happens when releasing the bar and pulling your quick release

6. Follow-up exercise

The next fun exercise you will learn once you have mastered the above is body dragging! With this you will fly over the water from left to right, through this exercise you will be prepared to steer in at the board start. Can you perform this perfectly? Then we will move on to real kitesurfing, before you know it you will be standing on the board and sailing from left to right!

7. Close

The lesson is almost over. Together with the instructor your lesson is discussed. Feedback is given to further teach you how to kitesurf and a preparation for the next lesson.
At the end of the lesson you will receive an IKO account and access to the IKO app. With this you can easily check your progress and this can then be done at any IKO kitesurfing school. After you complete all the steps, you can rent equipment at all kitesurfing schools with your IKO certificate.
