The first step on the foiling journey for any sailor, windsurfer or kiteboarder who wants to experience foiling, is to take part in a FoilLab delivered at a club, by a qualified club coach. FoilLabs focus on the fundamental skills required to begin foiling and assist participants to understand what is happening with the foil below the surface of the water, and how to control it. A FoilLab is relevant no matter which foiling class a sailor chooses (WindFoil, KiteFoil, SailFoil, or WingFoil). FOIL-LABs are a day long introductory session allowing participants to experience and learn about foiling. FOIL-LABs provide a safe space for sailors to learn and interact with a new type of sailing experience and equip themselves with new knowledge to take on foiling classes. Sailors will learn the fundamentals that drive a hydrofoils performance, as well learn about the body and physical relationships that offer a path to mastery. Mastering the basics gives more options to have more fun, more often. It also allows sailors to chase performance in a range of modern performance sailing classes in a fun and fulfilling way.

With the continued interest and increase of foiling opportunities at clubs around the country, Australian Sailing is working to develop programs and resources to support sailors and clubs to get involved with these new and exciting classes. We can break the foiling disciplines into 4 distinct classes, each with their own specific set of skills required, but all sharing the common trait of flying above the water on a hydrofoil. These 4 foil classes are: KiteFoil WingFoil WindFoil SailFoil

WindFoiling shares many of the fundamental foiling principals with other foiling classes and is the sport of riding a windsurf board with a hydrofoil attached to it. WindFoiling allows a windsurfer to sail with their board above the water by riding the foil which remains submerged beneath the surface. It might seem like WindFoiling, and Windsurfing are similar. They both rely on wind in their sails to get moving, and much of the equipment can be used for either sport. The skills acquired through windsurfing are transferable to WindFoiling, so it is important a sailor develops these basic skills first, if they wish to pursue a WindFoiling pathway.
