Wing Foiling Lessons Tampa Bay St Petersburg Fl
Wing Foiling has captivated enthusiasts worldwide! Look out across Tampa Bay on a windy day, and you’ll see wing foilers smoothly sailing over the waves, their joy evident in their beaming smiles. This exhilarating new wind sport is a sight to behold.
Let’s explore wing foiling in Tampa Bay: What is Wing Foiling? It’s a fusion of kitesurfing, windsurfing, and surfing.The main draw? Utilizing the ocean’s energy to carve through the water and have a blast. It’s less about speed or high jumps and more about the sheer pleasure of water riding. Picture yourself almost levitating as you glide above the water, hitting speeds up to 30 mph with ease.
Why Wing Foiling? Hydrofoil technology lets you soar even in under 10 knots of wind. Setting up for wing foiling is easier than other wind sports, reducing strain on your hands and body. It’s likened to skiing on fresh powder—silent, simple, and thrilling.
A Bit of History: Tony Logosz initiated hand-held wing tests in 2015, enabling immediate foiling without traditional windsurfing sails or kites. Soon after, Slingshot released the Slingwing, and other models followed, establishing wing foiling as a unique sport.
Get Ready to Ride: Sign up for a lesson, collect your equipment (wing, foil, board), and venture into the waters. Master wing handling on land, learn to tack against the wind, and activate the foil. Before long, you’ll be soaring with ease, navigating Tampa Bay’s tranquil waters and the Gulf of Mexico’s swells. If you’re seeking an exciting escapade, wing foiling is calling your name.
Secure a spot in our beginner wing foiling course, and we’ll outfit you with all the specialized equipment, customized for your size and weight to match the wind conditions. Each lesson spans at least two hours, encompassing a wide array of skills—from setup and dry land wing handling to understanding wind theory and sailing points. We’ll support you as you learn to cruise on your knees, transition smoothly to standing, and manage your speed and direction while aboard. Plus, you’ll experience the exhilaration of your first foil lifts.
Every lesson is enhanced with Jetski support, included at no extra charge, to boost your learning and ensure your safety. With our commitment to quality instruction and the latest gear, you’ll see why we’re the go-to destination in the Tampa Bay St Petersburg area for wing foiling enthusiasts.

Me and my wife had a wonderful time. We both felt way more confident with our kite control. 10/10 would kite again with SA kitesurfing adventures.
Dale is the consummate instructor: experienced, knowledgeable, patient, and calm with an easy laugh that keeps things fun. I’m 72 years old, and I thought perhaps my time for learning to kite surf had passed. Thanks to Dale that wasn’t the case, and I now have a new sport I love.
Dale was great to work with. Had a ton of communication ahead time to coordinate the lesson and was incredibly patient and informative during our session. I definitely feel like I now have a great baseline to build from on my kiteboard journey!
Dale is the absolute best kiteboarding coach. He’s super kind, patient, and obviously loves what he does. He gives you very precise feedback to make significant progress during your learning process. Highly recommended for all your kiteboarding dreams!!
Had so much fun, and Every lesson just kept getting me hooked more to the sport. Thanks for being patient with me when teaching, but also thanks for making me always feel safe, and self rescue tips, cant wait until next time!
The only thing I regret is not trying this sooner.. The training was a lot of fun, good workout, plus Dale is genuinely a cool guy to be around. Good experience, I will be back and going to be shredding it like cheddar by the end of the season
Dale was an amazing instructor. Had multiple sessions with him after trying the sport in Greece. Referred my friends and they had a blast as well.
Had a blast taking lessons from Dale. His patience and knowledge are top notch! Not only did Dale help me build confidence with kite control, he also educated me on tons of kiting safety. Thanks Dale
SA Kitesurf with Dale was fantastic. Had a great experience for my first time kiteboarding (4-hours) and was able to get up and riding in that time.. highly recommend and can’t wait to get out there again!
Great time! Dale is a awesome instructor especially for me and my brother trying for first time, 5 stars!
Dale was great, very knowledgeable, and fun to work with. Highly recommend! Had a blast
SA Kitesurf Adventures is top notch! From our first lesson with Ivan and our subsequent lessons with Dale they place great emphasis on the safety aspects of the sport. Very important and highly respected. They coach clear and concise and help you understand the things you must improve to get riding. Can’t wait for our next lesson! Thank you for being amazing!
We’ve had a great experience learning to kitesurf with SA Kitesurf Adventures. Dale and Ivan are wonderful instructors as they are patient, knowledgeable and skilled. They had us riding a board by the 3rd lesson. We highly recommend SA Kitesurf Adventures.
Dale and team was great in teaching me basics of kite surfing. Very knowledgeable and great one-on-one attention. Successfully, got me up and riding the board. Definitely, will continue my lessons with them, when I am back in St Pete
I had a great time learning with Dale. He was a great teacher. He knew just what to say to make things click for me and get me going up-wind. The walky talkies were also clutch. I highly recommend this guy!!
Dale is the man. I traveled across the country just to learn to kiteboard in the tampa area for a week. I had one other well reviewed instructor in the area before meeting Dale. He squeezed me in on my last day and I learned more from him in one day vs three from others. He explains things well and can answer any kiteboarding question. He corrected my issue and had me riding upwind confidently. Highly recommended!
Such a great way to learn kiting in no time! So happy I took the lesson! The jetski support is extremely helpful! I had such a great time! Highly recommend ☺️
Dale turned me into an independent kiter in no time. Great and patient instructor, can’t recommend enough.
I had a superb refresher lesson with Dale at the St. Pete’s location. It might be the most ideal setup imaginable… shallow flat water with an outstanding instructor following you on a Jetski. I’ve had other lessons, but this was by far my most fun and beneficial.
Went out with Dale for beginner lesson. Only prior experience I have had related to kiteboarding was flying a trainer kite. By the end of the day Dale had me up for a few short rides. Great experience, good instruction. Will be back for more.
I have had a fabulous experience learning to kitesurf with SAKitesurf Adventures. Instructors are patient, knowledgeable and skilled. Most importantly, they take safety of everyone on and off the water very seriously. Lessons are tailored to individual needs and every bit of progress celebrated. There’s a lot to learn about kitesurfing and you can trust SAKitesurf to teach you!
Was my first time trying to kite surf it was lots of fun and I would recommend it 10/10. Dale was a great instructor and made it a lot of fun.
Dale did a great job instructing me on my first kite surfing lesson. He was knowledgeable, patient, friendly, and a pleasure to be around. Provided quality and functional equipment for the lesson. Highly recommend!
SA Kitesurf is a great group to train with. I had the opportunity to learn to kitesurf with 2 sessions in Lyle WA east of Hood River and just completed my 3rd near the Skyway in St Pete FL with Dale. I recommend getting into lessons if you think you’d enjoy the sport. I have no regrets!
