Prasonisi Wing Foil Clinic
Run By : Simon Winkley Windsurf and Wingfoil Clinics
The 2024 Simon Winkley Pro Coaching Wing Foil clinic takes place in the stunning flat water venue of Prasonisi, Southern Rhodes. The conditions are excellent for intermediate wingfoilers, with very reliable wind stats for September.
Expect to work as hard as you like on the water and to enjoy relaxing at all other times with fun, chilled evening socials. After the coaching, the group enjoy meals together. Friends and partners are welcome to join the holiday.
The Conditions
The prevailing wind is accelerated by the local ‘Venturi' system as it squeezes between the land masses. The clinic will be run on the flat-water side of the beach.
The wind has a cross-off direction, meaning that setting off and gliding back towards the beach for foiling gybes is done in really flat water.
Course Details
Intermediate wingfoilers will thrive on this clinic. Simon will be working with the group across a range of skills including: kit selection, set up and tuning tips, getting up on the foil early, pumping the board and wing, foiling control and turns at speed, foiling and non-foiling tacks and gybes, foot changes and the optional use of foot straps, riding toeside (switched stance), the optional use of harness and set up of harness lines and relevant snippets of theory to enhance practical understanding. There will be loads of improvements that Simon can help you with as well as new ideas and moves to try.
Simon will be making use of simulators and shore-based learning to support the on-water sessions. Coaching includes use of GoPros with various mounts, video coaching and photos to enable a close look at your technique.
Typical Course Level
Intermediate Level
To benefit from this clinic you should ideally be at least an intermediate level and able to get up on the foil.

The Centre
The Christof Kirschner Procenter is located just a 5 minute walk along the beach from the tiny village where the accommodation and restaurant is located. It is excellently run by friendly and helpful staff and carries a great range of up-to-date Neil Pryde/JP boards and rigs.
