Activity description

Take a private funboard or windsurf foil lesson on the Ile de Ré and train in the school of champions, near La Rochelle!

Thanks to this 1.5 hour funboard or windsurf foil course, you will soon be able to sail on the water like a champion! Affiliated to the French Sailing Federation and founded by sailing champions, Antoine Albeau's school is the best place to learn sailing sports!

First of all, you might be wondering what funboarding and windsurfing foil are! Well, funboarding is a water sport that consists of sailing on a windsurf board with a small sail. This discipline allows you to glide over the water and perform acrobatic figures. You need a certain amount of skill and a good physical condition to practice funboarding. Windsurfing foil is a windsurfing discipline that uses a foil, a wing immersed under the board that allows it to take off from the water and fly above the surface. The foil is attached to a mast that rises above the board and is connected to a sail. This discipline allows you to sail with great speed and stability, even in light winds. However, it requires a certain amount of experience and balance to master the board and the foil.

With the private course we offer you, you will be trained by excellent instructors! First, you will arrive at the base and drop your stuff. You will be equipped with a wetsuit if needed, a life jacket and all the necessary equipment. You will then leave for your private foil windsurfing or funboard lesson with your instructor by your side. He will be there to advise you throughout the course. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced sailor, he will be able to adapt to your level and guide you. When you return to the school, you can debrief and review your progress. The private lesson is a very good solution for a personalized accompaniment, you will leave the school having learned a lot about the discipline!

Located at the beach of du Peu Ragot, the sailing school of La Couarde offers lessons given by qualified and passionate instructors. Moreover, Antoine Albeau's school has more than 47 years of experience in nautical activities! It is truly an emblematic place for water sports lovers!
