Are you a fan of gliding and sensations? Come and learn the basics of Wingfoil on land, this new sport of gliding, on the magnificent beach of the Bay of Wissant.

The Bay of Wissant located on the Opal Coast a few minutes away from Calais is the best surfing spot in the Nord-Pas-de-Calais. This spot combines wind strength, wave quality and huge sandy beaches for unique surfing sessions, all enhanced by beautiful scenery.

Bed & Kite welcomes you on this spot to make you discover the fundamentals of Wingfoil, this new practice which consists in handling a kite held with two hands while standing on a board on the water.

During your 2 hour session, you will learn the basics of Wingfoil through a course on the beach during which you will learn how to: prepare your equipment, basic meteorology, start, steer with the sail etc. And for the more experienced, you will learn how to transite, change arms, regain power etc.
Marc, your instructor, will adapt his teaching methods to your profile so that you can progress as quickly as possible and make the most of your session and the feeling of freedom that it gives you and then test the practice on the water.
