Ready to experience the magic of gliding downwind for kilometers, powered only by the wind and your foil?
We’re launching a unique Downwind Wingfoil Course on the IJsselmeer — designed to introduce riders to the world of true downwind foiling in a fun, safe, and structured way.
🧭 The Concept
Downwind foiling is the future — and the thrill of linking glides across open water is like nothing else. But let’s face it: the learning curve can be steep.
Our downwind safaris offer a progressive path:
-
Start with the wing – Learn to ride downwind with control and confidence.
-
Advance to flagged-out gliding – Use the wing as support while learning to read bumps.
-
Eventually transition to parawing or paddle-up – Unlock full freedom on your foil.
📍 Location: IJsselmeer, Netherlands
We run these downwinders between Vluchthaven Lelystad and Rotonde Spot Almere/Lelystad — a 5 to 6 km stretch of open water, perfect for learning.
We wait for ideal wind: side-shore to side-on, from either southwest or northeast (18–30 knots max).
✅ Minimum Skill Requirements
To join the wing downwind safaris, you must be able to:
-
✅ Gybe consistently in both directions
-
✅ Ride small stretches with your wing flagged out
-
✅ Make smooth transitions toe-side and being able to carve heel-side
-
✅ Have your own gear (we can advise on setup if needed)
Not quite there yet? No worries — join our regular wingfoil coaching to build up your skills!
