Wingfoil courses in Annecy
Lake Annecy & Lake Geneva

If you’ve come to this page, it’s probably because you’re planning a vacation by the water, between lake and mountains, or an introduction to wingfoil, or both! Whether you’re alone, with friends or family, sooner or later you’ll be wondering which is the best option for learning or progressing in wingfoil: look no further than our wingfoil school, which offers courses at several spots around Annecy for all levels, with teaching methods to suit!

What is wingfoil?

Wingfoil is an innovative gliding sport that combines a board mounted on a foil (an underwater wing) and an inflatable wing held in the hands. Carried by the wind and flying over the water thanks to the foil, you get the sensation of flying in total freedom. Accessible to all, wingfoil seduces beginners and watersports enthusiasts alike with its incredible sensations. It’s practical, takes up little space and doesn’t require very strong winds. A unique experience between sky and water, to be discovered in and around Annecy.

Wingfoil courses
All levels

Want to discover or improve your wingfoil skills? Our courses are suitable for all levels, from absolute beginner to advanced rider. Supervised by a qualified instructor, you'll learn how to handle the kite, find your balance and fly over the water in complete safety during 1-hour, 2-hour or longer lessons (please note that the lesson times shown represent your time on the water; there is no charge for setting up the lesson).

Progression

If you want to go even further, opt for a complete wingfoil course: 3 x 2-hour sessions to progress at your own pace. Ideal for gaining autonomy, working on technique, discovering new spots and gaining confidence (please note that the course durations shown represent your sailing time, and that course set-up is not charged).

Foil Towing
All levels

The towed foil is the ideal gateway to the world of aerial gliding. Gently pulled by the boat, you'll be able to discover the first sensations of flying above the water without having to manage the sail. A fun, progressive and ultra-accessible approach, perfect for a confident start before moving on to wingfoil.

Monitored Navigation
4 pers max

Are you already self-sufficient, but prefer to be supervised? Supervised sailing is for you. An instructor with a boat is on the water to advise you, ensure your safety and pick you up if you've drifted off course. You're free to enjoy yourself, stress-free, in the best possible conditions.

A word from the instructor

My name is Théo, I'm 28 and I've always had a passion for board sports. I've been a state-qualified ski instructor in winter, a sailing instructor (BPJEPS) and an international wingfoil instructor (IWO), and I'm now teaching wingfoil only, as soon as the warm weather returns. I like to pass on my knowledge, see people progress, and above all share the pleasure of gliding on water or snow. With pedagogy, patience and a good dose of fun, I'll guide you at your own pace, whether you're a beginner, advanced or expert rider.

So that skiing
is always a pleasure...

We've known Théo for several years now. We met him one summer at the lake for wingfoil lessons, when our 10-year-old daughter was very impressed by the wind and the equipment. From the very first lesson, she felt confident thanks to Théo, who knew how to find the right words and explanations to encourage her to overcome her fears. In just a few sessions, the progress was astounding: she was managing her wing, getting on the board, and was already starting to fly above the water! When we learned that Théo also offered supervised sailing, our daughter wanted to continue with him to gain independence while still being supervised. Once again, it was a more than successful experience. Théo is still as involved, gentle, and motivating as ever. Today, our daughter is addicted to wingfoiling and returns to Théo every summer with the same enthusiasm. Thank you, Sabrina, for your kindness, patience, and professionalism!

Théo has been our wingfoil instructor for the whole family for six years now. Professional, available, and always super friendly. Our grandchildren are delighted to see him every season to progress and take new steps in their skills. Thanks to him, the six of us can now sail together safely—it's a real joy. Thank you, Théo!

My grandchildren, Arthur and Samuel, both 11, started wingfoiling with Théo in the summer of 2018. They quickly felt confident thanks to a fun, caring approach that respected their personalities and their learning pace. The videos demonstrate their progress, and the photos show how comfortable and happy they are sailing, whatever the weather conditions. During the unusual COVID-19 summers, Théo also introduced them to other water sports and gentle gliding activities on the lake, always in the same spirit of discovery and fun. We were soon able to sail together in the afternoons, with Théo recommending the best spots based on the wind and weather conditions. Every summer, the children look forward to this week with Théo, and for the parents, it's a real relief to know they're in such good hands. Théo has in his large toolbox a fine, fun and effective pedagogy, which has allowed them to gain confidence on the water, step by step.
