In a few words
Discover wing foiling in an exceptional natural setting, in the heart of the Óbidos Lagoon , Portugal. This safe, 6km-long and 1.5km-wide body of water is a true invitation to glide , perfect for beginners and experienced riders alike. Just a few meters from the spot, your welcoming lodge awaits you in a friendly atmosphere, with all the comforts you need for a sporty and relaxing stay. Between sessions on the water, enjoy the swimming pool and create your own itinerary with a variety of à la carte activities . Whether you're traveling solo, as a couple, or with friends, experience a tailor-made adventure in harmony with the winds and tides.
We offer lessons on three beaches (from 0.3 km to 3 km from the lodge). Each day, we choose the best spot for kitesurfing or wing foiling and hold our lessons there (if you don't have a rental car, it's often a good idea to extend your package with a bicycle rental). We highly recommend renting a car for added convenience!

Management
All our instructors are seasoned and passionate wing foil instructors. Their approach combines pedagogy, patience, and professionalism to guide you in your progression, whatever your starting level. While they are excellent riders themselves, their priority is to offer you personalized support, based on listening and adapting to your needs. You thus benefit from a tailored, supportive, and motivating learning experience. In addition to the on-water sessions, an hour of theory is offered in a group setting at the lodge. This time for discussion allows you to deepen your technical knowledge and better understand sailing conditions, enabling you to progress more confidently and effectively.
