Planning a trip to Fuerteventura and craving a new aquatic challenge? The Wingsurf Taster in Costa Calma offers just that—a chance to try a dynamic sport in a stunning setting, with a focus on safety, personal attention, and fun. This 1.5-hour session, led by motivated professional instructors, promises a memorable introduction to wingsurfing, a sport that combines wind, water, and a bit of daring.
What we particularly like about this experience is the small group size—limited to just two participants—which ensures plenty of personalized guidance and attention. Plus, the use of brand new wingsurf equipment means you’ll be working with the latest gear, enhancing both safety and enjoyment.
One consideration to keep in mind: the activity lasts only 1.5 hours, which might feel a bit short for those wanting a full day of water sports. However, this taster session is ideal for beginners curious about wingsurfing and travelers looking for a quick, exhilarating adventure on the water. If you’re someone who loves trying new activities in a relaxed, friendly environment, this experience is likely to suit your style perfectly.

The Experience: What You Can Expect
This Wingsurf Taster is all about giving you a taste of the sport in a safe, supportive setting. The experience starts at a designated meeting point in Costa Calma, with the exact location potentially varying depending on your booking. Your friendly, professional instructor, who might speak Italian, Spanish, English, or German, will greet you and introduce you to the equipment and basic principles of wingsurfing.
The first part of the session involves a quick safety briefing and an overview of how to handle the wingsurf wing and foil. The guides are motivated and clearly communicate what you need to do, which is especially comforting for first-timers. According to a review by Georgina, “Giorgio really went the extra mile, and what a great introduction to the sport.” This personal touch often makes all the difference when trying something new.
Once you’re comfortable with the basics, you’ll move on to practical practice in the water. The new wingsurf equipment is designed to be user-friendly, even for complete beginners. The instructor will demonstrate how to harness the wind, control the wing, and balance on the foil. Expect to start close to shore, with the instructor providing hands-on guidance.
The stunning setting of Costa Calma Bay plays a big role in the appeal. The area’s calm, crystal-clear water makes it easier to learn and enjoy the sport without feeling overwhelmed by strong currents or waves. The bay’s natural beauty enhances every moment, whether you’re standing on your board or catching your first lift off the water.
Throughout the session, the instructor will monitor your progress, giving tailored tips to help you catch the wind and lift off. Many reviews emphasize the knowledgeable guides and the stunning views as highlights. In particular, Georgina mentions that Giorgio’s clear explanations and personal attention contributed to her fantastic experience.
After 1.5 hours of action, you’re likely to feel a sense of achievement and exhilaration—even if it’s your first time wingsurfing. If you find yourself hooked, there’s an option to continue with a full 3-day wingsurf course, which could be an excellent next step for those eager to develop their skills further.
What’s Included and Practicalities
Your booking covers everything needed for a safe and enjoyable session:
- New Wing Foil equipment ensures you’re working with the latest technology, which enhances both safety and performance.
- A wetsuit and helmet are provided, keeping you comfortable and protected as you learn.
- The professional wingsurf coach guides you through every step, speaking multiple languages to accommodate international participants.
- The session lasts 1.5 hours, giving you ample time to learn and practice.
- You have the option to continue for a full 3-day course if you want to deepen your skills.
The meeting point is flexible, depending on your booking, but the activity ends back at the same location, making it straightforward to plan your day.
Why This Experience Stands Out
One of the biggest draws of this Wingsurf Taster is the small group size. Limiting participants to two means you won’t feel lost in a crowd, and the instructor can give you tailored feedback. Georgina’s review highlights this, praising Giorgio’s extra effort to ensure she understood everything clearly and felt confident on the water.
The personal attention combined with new, quality equipment creates a safe environment for beginners and those new to wingsurfing. The stunning Costa Calma bay offers calm waters ideal for learning, and the professional guides are motivated and friendly, making the whole experience relaxed yet exciting.
Pricing at $108 per person is quite reasonable for a half-day introduction, especially considering that all gear, safety equipment, and expert guidance are included. Compared to full-day courses or private lessons elsewhere, this is a valuable way to get a solid introduction without a huge commitment.
Who Will Love This?
This experience is perfect for beginners or those curious about wingsurfing looking for a low-pressure, guided introduction. If you’re traveling with friends or family and want to share an active adventure, the small group size ensures plenty of personal attention. The setting of Costa Calma, with its gentle bay and scenic views, makes it especially appealing for anyone wanting a safe, manageable start in a new sport.
It also suits travelers who prefer to try water sports without committing to full-day lessons or buying expensive gear upfront. Plus, if you love the idea of testing your balance and wind skills in a beautiful environment, this is a fantastic option that combines fun with a manageable learning curve.
The Sum Up
The Wingsurf Taster in Costa Calma offers a balanced mix of fun, safety, and authenticity. With experienced guides, brand new equipment, and a stunning setting, it provides an accessible way for beginners to dip their toes into wingsurfing. The small group format ensures personalized coaching, which is crucial when trying something as new and physically engaging as wingsurfing.
While the session is relatively short, it’s enough to give you a real sense of the sport and perhaps ignite a new passion for water sports. The flexible booking options and inclusive gear make it easy to try without stress, and the friendly guides go out of their way to make sure you have a great time.
