Wingfoiling Lessons in Almere & Amsterdam – Glide Lab

Wingfoiling is one of the fastest-growing watersports in the Netherlands. With a handheld wing and a hydrofoil board, you rise above the water and glide smoothly using wind power alone. Quiet, efficient, and incredibly rewarding, wingfoiling offers a unique feeling of freedom on the water.

Glide Lab is a specialized wingfoiling and foil school based in Almere, operating throughout Noord-Holland and easily accessible from Amsterdam.

All wingfoiling lessons at Glide Lab are taught by certified instructors with strong backgrounds in hydrofoiling and wind sports. Every session follows a clear progression focused on safety, control, and real progress on the water.

Step 1 – Wingfoil setup & beach briefing

Each lesson starts on land with a practical introduction:

• Wingfoil equipment overview and correct setup

• Safe wing handling and positioning

• Basic stance, grip, and steering technique

• Wind awareness and safety rules

This ensures you enter the water prepared and confident.

Step 2 – Wing and board control on the water

On the water, we focus on building solid foundations:

• Controlling power through the wing

• Finding balance on the board

• Learning controlled starts, steering, and stopping

• Riding comfortably in different directions

Lessons are adapted to your level, allowing smooth progression at your own pace.

Step 3 – First flights on the foil

Once balance and timing are in place, we move into true wingfoiling:

• Generating speed efficiently

• Controlled lift onto the foil

• First sustained flights above the water

With focused feedback and small technical adjustments, progress comes quickly.

Learning to wingfoil is most effective over multiple sessions. For beginners, we recommend our 3-day or 5-day wingfoiling lesson packages, designed for consistent and solid progression.
