Langebaan Trip Overview
Foiling is a new sport that has taken many folks by surprise. It has diverse and complex elements which are what keep people coming back for more. Unlike other water sports, there is an added element of height. This single attribute is what makes this a sport like no other.
Previously, you were only able to glide on the water, enduring the hard impacts from it. Wing foiling and e-foiling on the other hand is a very free sport. It enables you to not only glide on the water but to fly over it, too. This new sport is the epitome of longboarding on water. Wing foiling has so much hidden potential that we are only scratching the surface of it.
To put it bluntly, it is the future of water sports. As it stands there are so many facets to it already. There is the speed aspect (racing) as well as the freestyle aspect(jumping/tricks). The community is so social and welcoming to newcomers to the sport. The online presence is very active and people very much enjoy viewing the sport from afar.

Itinerary
New sport at the crossroads between SUP, windsurfing, and kiteboarding. The equipment consists of a Wing (an inflatable sail) and carbon fiber stand-up paddleboard equipped with a foil. Seamless to use and safe.
Our instructors will guide you in this new discipline which appeals to everyone! Initially, we will begin with some brief shore-based theory that will help you to better understand how the foil works.
On the water we will get each of you to foil behind the boat, verbally assisting you where need be. If we feel you are competent enough to foil behind the boat, you will get the chance to try out the wing foil and board.
