GET TO KNOW YOUR INSTRUCTOR: Leon Füger
From the moment I first discovered windsurfing at the age of eight, my life has been deeply intertwined with the water and the wind. Over the years, this passion has grown into a profound love for all things wave-related, eventually leading me to the exhilarating world of wingfoiling. Today, as a dedicated wingfoiling coach, I bring this lifelong enthusiasm and expertise to my lessons. My approach is centred on tailoring every session to your unique needs, ensuring you progress effectively while embracing the sheer joy and excitement of being on the water. Whether you’re a complete beginner or looking to refine your skills, my goal is to make each experience not only productive but truly unforgettable.
WHY CHOOSE FANTOM FOILING?
At Fantom Foiling, we offer bespoke learning tailored to your needs at every step of your wing foiling journey. Based at the vibrant Milnerton Aquatic Club, the hub of West Coast water sports, we are your gateway to the thrilling world of wing foiling. Our passionate team of experienced instructors isn’t just here to teach; they’re your dedicated partners, committed to understanding your unique goals and helping you succeed while sharing in your love for the sport.
To ensure a personalised experience, we recommend starting with a first lesson behind a boat—no wind required. This bespoke approach is ideal for beginners, as it simplifies getting onto the foil. Being towed allows you to experience the pure thrill of foiling without the challenge of managing the wing or relying on wind conditions, setting you up for success at your own pace.
Every session begins with a detailed, tailored briefing, designed to match your individual learning style and goals. This briefing doesn’t just explain what to do—it helps you understand why you’re doing it, providing a solid foundation to progress confidently. A key focus in our lessons is mastering wing control, which is crucial for advancing in the least amount of time.
Wing foiling combines the control of two “sails” that operate through distinct yet complementary forces. The foil, working underwater, relies on hydrodynamics, while the wing, above water, harnesses aerodynamics. Both function based on Bernoulli’s Principle, which states that as the speed of a fluid (in this case, water or air) increases, its pressure decreases. For the foil, this creates lift underwater by accelerating water flow across its curved surface. Similarly, the wing generates lift above water by shaping airflow to create pressure differences, propelling you forward. Understanding this principle and how the two elements work together is key to efficient learning and unlocking the full potential of this exhilarating sport.
With our customised approach, we ensure that every lesson is highly effective, empowering you to progress quickly and enjoy every moment on the water while building your confidence in both foil and wing control.
