Hydrofoils are attached to the daggerboard & rudder (for dinghies) or fin (for windsurfing) and when used with enough speed, activate and lift the equipment out of the water, reducing drag and increasing speed over the water.
We are offering you the chance to get to grips and master foiling at our resorts in Greece. For the summer 2019 summer season Levante Beach Resort in Rhodes will offer both windsurf and dinghy foiling whilst Lemnos Beach Resort will offer provide windsurf foiling.
To learn to foil you must already be competent on a windsurf or dinghy at an intermediate level, with a RYA level 2 'basic skills' qualification or equivalent. For sailing, we ask that guests have experience in using Laser's or RS Aero dinghies and will run free clinics in resort for those who need it. For windsurfers, we ask that you are comfortable using foot straps and a harness both of which are covered in our free refresher windsurf sessions.
For those who are at more of a beginner level, you can book RYA courses that will prepare you for the next step up.
