HELLO, WE ARE FRANCO AND PAOLO!
We are a close and empathetic team, 100% professionally dedicated to Wing Foil Surf
We are very excited to share something that we are so passionate about and to be able to help others!
It all started in Brazil in 2017 when we met at a hostel during a kitesurfing trip (back then, wingfoiling didn’t exist yet). Three years later, we reunited in Tarifa, where we started training together again, and that’s when the Wings Tarifa project was born.
Throughout all these years, we have dedicated countless hours to being on the water every day, training to the maximum, and competing in different national and international events. This constant dedication has allowed us to excel in skills and acquire superior technical knowledge in wingfoiling.
Thanks to all of this, we have created our own unique teaching methodology.
Today, we are the only school with active wing foil competitors, and we provide technical training in other schools in the industry, being pioneers in Wingfoiling.
We will share all our knowledge with you, and with our guidance, your wingfoiling learning experience will not only be much faster and easier, but above all, you will be able to fully enjoy your time on the water.
You will be amazed at the confidence and security you will gain!

LEAN ON OUR EXPERIENCE!TESTIMONIALS
Philipp Dudda
I had my first wingfoil lesson today with Franco. As conditions were too gusty for kitesurfing I spontaneously took the lesson. Franco is an excellent and motivating instructor and knows perfectly how to explain you foiling building up on existing skills like kitesurfing or SUP.
It was really much of fun. As conditions got worse and were too gusty to fully complete the 2 hours Franco only charged half of the price which was really fair. During the first lesson we made some practice on the beach as well as riding the first meters on the water. I can recommend those guys 100%!
Monica Ballus Armet
A friend recommended Wings Tarifa if I wanted to get into Wingfoiling - Coming from kitefoiling, I hesitated between just learling alone or taking a couple lessons. Well, I eventually accepted his advice and t was hands down the best thing I did ! Franco is an amazing instructor, super I patient and has great tips to make the learning experience incredible!
Learning all this by myself would have taken me much longer for sure!

Franco and Paolo did a really good job in explaining us the basics of wingfoiling. All new things are hard to learn and can be frustrating but their team tried the best to keep us motivated. Due to changing wind conditions the lessons are quite spontanous but the communication has always been great! Definitely worth the experience.
Lennart Hiemstra
We booked 3 days of lessons for our group. Had a great time with them, we were all very happy with the wing gear, lessons and progress booked.
Sometimes you have to wait for the wind; they adapt the schedule to suit the wind conditions and your own plans.
We even went foiling behind a boat when there was no wind.
Lessons with radio communication and rescue boat when needed, perfect!
Franco is a happy dude :) will be good to come back next year!
Helen Hill
Booked lessons for the whole family - there were 6 of us and by day 3 we had all managed to fly the wing and control the boards safely - couple of my kids did really well and even launched their foils and flew along. Paolo and Franco and Javi were great teachers - and super encouraging and lots of fun - couldn't recommend this company more highly!
Andrea Carron
We had so much fun! Our instructor (Franco) was incredibly kind, professional, passionate, and patient. In less than 3h, we moved from being absolute beginners to being able to stand on the board and enjoying the feeling of the wing pulling us. We can only recommend it!
