How the activity works
1️⃣ Welcome and equipment
- Initial briefing: introduction to the equipment (board, foil, control bar) and safety instructions.
- Equipment provided: impact vest, helmet, neoprene booties and wetsuit if required.
2️⃣ Boat transfer
- Location: departure from the hut at Port de Capbreton, next to the restaurant Chez Minus.
- Supervision: one skipper and one supervisor on board the boat, in accordance with safety standards.
3️⃣ Learning phase
1. Gradual towing: the boat tows at a moderate speed to help the foil lift off.
2. Positioning:
- Feet: back foot against the board’s ‘kick’, weight on the back leg.
- Body: arms outstretched, knees bent, looking straight ahead.
4️⃣ Flying techniques
- Take-off: shift your weight backwards to lift the foil.
- Balance: maintain an upright posture, without leaning your upper body forward.
- Turning: control via pressure on the feet (toes/heels), as in snowboarding.
5️⃣ Safety and conditions
- Suitable spot: calm stretch of water, free of obstacles.
- Duration: 1-hour lesson-style session, including approximately 20–45 minutes of actual practice.
👉 Advanced
- Pumping: pumping movements to generate speed without a tow.
- Transition to other disciplines: towed foiling often serves as a foundation for wingfoiling or kitefoiling.

This is a foil session (e-foil, surf foil, wing foil, etc.) in which the rider is towed by a boat (or a jet ski) rather than being propelled by a wave, the wind or a built-in motor. This makes it easier to build up speed and ‘fly’ above the water.
Mainly to make faster progress: understanding balance, managing take-off, refining your lines and footwork, without having to paddle, pump or wait for the right wave. It’s a real ‘progress booster’.
It isn’t strictly necessary, but it’s much more effective if you already have some basic skills (standing up, controlling your speed). Complete beginners can get started, but only with supervision and at a very controlled pace.
As with any towed activity, there are risks (falling, impact, rope, propeller); safety depends on: compulsory lifejackets, appropriate speed, a clear area for the activity, an observer on board, and clear instructions before each session.
No, it’s a supplement: it helps you improve your pure technique (balance, footwork, line choice) more quickly, but it doesn’t replace reading the waves in surf foil or managing the wind in wing foil.
Yes, especially if the competitors are closely matched and the boat can complete several runs in succession; this is often done in small groups to make the most of the time on the water.
Wetsuit (depending on the season), lifejacket (provided and compulsory), sun cream, towel/change of clothes.
