What is Wingsurfing and Why Try a Taster?

Wingsurfing is a relatively new sport that combines elements of windsurfing and kiteboarding. Instead of a sail or kite, you use a handheld wing to catch the wind, which allows for effortless gliding across the water. It’s often praised for being easier to pick up than traditional windsurfing, making it suitable for beginners.

This Wingsurf Taster in Costa Calma offers a quick but comprehensive introduction. You’ll learn the basic techniques of handling the wing, balance on the board, and understanding how the wind drives your movement. Because the session is only 1.5 hours, it’s a perfect way to test your interest without a long-term commitment.

The Experience Breakdown

Meeting and Starting Out

The experience begins at a meeting point that may vary depending on your chosen option. Once you arrive, your instructor will equip you with a wetsuit and helmet—important gear for comfort and safety—and then you’ll head out to the water.

The small size of the group means you get plenty of personalized coaching, which is crucial in a sport that requires coordination and balance. The instructor will likely start with some dry land explanations, demonstrating how to handle the wing, followed by practice in the water.

Learning the Basics

During the 1.5-hour session, your instructor will guide you on controlling the wing, maintaining your stance, and catching the wind. Expect to spend some time getting comfortable with holding the wing, steering, and balancing on the board. The focus is on learning the essentials in a safe environment, so don’t worry if you don’t master it immediately.

Based on reviews, the instructors are praised for clear explanations and patience. One customer said, “Giorgio really went the extra mile,” indicating the level of dedication you’ll likely encounter.
