Why We Love This WingFoil Lesson

Learning a new water sport can be intimidating, but BonaOna Surf School’s approach eases beginners into wing foiling with clarity and patience. We loved the way the instructor begins with about 15 minutes of theory on land, explaining wind directions, sail handling, and how to balance—all crucial for a confident start. This prep work allows you to feel more comfortable when you hit the water, which is especially reassuring for first-timers.

The calm, shallow waters at Ca’n Pastilla are perfect for beginners. You don’t have to worry about strong currents or deep water; instead, you get a safe, controlled environment to practice maneuvers and turns. The instructor-to-student ratio is small, with groups limited to four people, meaning you’ll get plenty of individual attention. This personal touch makes the experience more effective and enjoyable.

Another highlight is the friendly, knowledgeable staff. Several reviews emphasize the helpfulness and patience of instructors like Audrey, who is praised for her calm guidance. One reviewer happily shared that her lesson was “very enjoyable” and that she’d gladly return, especially if more wind arrives next time.

What to Expect on the Day

The experience starts at BonaOna Surf School, conveniently located near Palma. After signing in, you’ll meet your instructor and get fitted with a life vest and other equipment. The first 15-minute briefing on land covers the essentials — wind directions, sail handling, and safety tips. This small prep step is especially valuable, giving you a solid foundation before hitting the water.

Once in the water, the instructor will guide you through basic maneuvers, focusing on balance, steering, and turns. Because the waters are shallow and free of currents, you can focus on mastering the basics without worry. Expect to spend roughly an hour practicing these skills under supervision. The last part of the session allows you to try riding more independently, building your confidence. Many participants find they’re able to keep practicing safely on their own after just one session.

The lesson concludes back at the meeting point, leaving you with a solid introduction to wing foiling. If you’re hooked, you might want to plan additional lessons or rent equipment to keep practicing during your stay.

The Equipment and Safety

All necessary equipment—board, sail, and life vest—is included, which simplifies your planning. The gear is tailored for beginners, meaning it’s designed to be stable and manageable to help you learn faster. As one reviewer noted, the instructor’s patience and friendly manner made the experience even more enjoyable.

Safety is a priority here: insurance is included, and the shallow waters make the activity lower risk. Still, you should bring your ID, swimsuit, and plenty of sunscreen. The minimal group size means you’ll get attention without feeling rushed or overwhelmed.

Pricing and Value

At 1.5 hours, the price reflects a focused, private lesson designed to give you a strong beginner foundation. While it’s not a full-day course, the personalized instruction and quality equipment make it a good value for a quick introduction. For those wanting a taste of wing foiling without a big commitment, this experience hits the right balance.
