What to expect

The session starts in the Regioport near the border triangle. We then take the boat a little down the river to start training after crossing the French border. The conditions there are very good, the Rhine is wider and there is less current, so we can practice the sport safely outside the channel of the big ships. When foiling you are pulled by our boat with a tow line, even at low speed the underwater wings lift the board and you seem to be flying above the water surface. With our foil sup pro carbon board from Indiana with a volume of 87 liters and a length of 5'9, it's relatively easy to start standing or kneeling. It has enough buoyancy and is stable, ideal for starting. For the more advanced we have a smaller board with less buoyancy. During the surf session you will be pulled off our boat on a surfboard, similar to wakeboarding you hold on to the tow line, but your feet are not connected to the board.
