Wing Group Lessons

Three hours per lesson in a group of two, with one instructor. Any level, from wing handling to your first flights on the foil.

How it worksTwo students, one instructor: more time on the water, one wing each.

Duration: 3 hrs per lesson, in a group of maximum 2 people, one instructor. Wingfoil is the easiest of the foil sports to start: a handheld wing, a big stable board and a shallow lagoon to learn in. In a group lesson each student has their own wing and board; you get more time on the water than in a private lesson, and you learn from watching each other. If no other student is booked on your slot, you get a private lesson (2 hrs) for the same price.

How the lessons unfold — the IWO path

Level 1 – Discovery: S.E.A. (spot, environment, activity), gear and set-up, safety; wing handling on the beach and use of the handles; beach board exercises and knee stand-up; beach self-rescue and right-of-way rules; flipping the wing on the water, entering and exiting the water with full gear.

Level 2 – Intermediate: knee on the board and controlling the gear on your knees; riding on your knees and changing direction; riding standing up and jibing with wing and feet; riding cross-wind and upwind.

Level 3 – Independent: pumping to get on the foil; controlling direction and speed while foiling; toeside and changing feet; jibe and tack; catching swell and free pumping.

Book a single lesson to discover the wing, or a package of three or five lessons to follow the full beginner path to independent foiling.

What is included

The full wingfoil set: wing, foil board and foil, helmet, wetsuit, life jacket and shoes — F-One and Duotone gear — plus insurance. You schedule your lessons yourself, whenever you like, depending on the wind.

The spot

Wingfoil lessons run on our main spot at Thong Sala: a flat lagoon of white sand protected by a coral reef, clear water at around 30 °C all year, 0.5 to 1.5 m deep depending on the tide — you can stand up everywhere, which makes learning fast and safe. We are the only school in this area, so there is plenty of free space. Wind is 10 to 15 knots, sometimes 20–25 and more: south-east and side-on from mid-December to April, south-west from May to October (with boat sessions in deeper water when the tide is low). From November to mid-January the school moves to the north spot at Chaloklum, Wattana Resort, with on-shore to side-on north-east wind.

Safety, certification and no-wind policy

  • Every lesson is run by a certified IWO instructor, following the IWO teaching and rescue standard, with a maximum of two students per instructor. Helmets and impact vests are worn throughout, and radio helmets let the instructor coach you in real time.
  • Your progress is recorded on your IWO progression card, accepted by schools and rental centres in more than 40 countries. Accrokite is a certified IWO centre.
  • Lessons booked online are valid for 18 months, and refunded if there is no wind during your stay (minus 7% payment fees). If the wind is too light on the day, we move your session rather than waste it.

Radio coaching · every lesson

Real-Time Radio Coaching

Stay connected with your instructor while you ride.

During every on-water lesson, our students use a radio communication system, allowing the instructor to provide instant feedback, guidance and safety instructions in real time — even when you’re riding away from the beach.

No need to stop and come back to shore for corrections. You hear your instructor directly while you ride, helping you learn faster, correct mistakes immediately and progress with more confidence.
