Learn to Foil on the Waszp since 2017

In the summer of 2014, we worked with professionals of the Moth class to develop a training concept that combines the methodology for learning the foil technique and the organization of training in an optimal way.
This training concept has been implemented very successfully since 2015. The coach supervises a team of 2-3 students. As the water training is very intensive and requires very good condition, the students rotate between sailing on the Waszp and observing from the coach boat.
Stickl Sport Camp is the first sailing school to offer FOILING as a new water sport to sporty dinghy sailors in weekly and weekend courses from April to October.

The focus for very sporty dinghy sailors are the courses on the new Foil unit class WASZP. The Waszp allows an entry into foiling even with less perfect sailing skills on dinghies than the extremely sporty Moth class, significantly reduces the risk of injury and perfectly combines all the requirements of a sporty "FOILER". At the same time, it also flies at more than 20 knots and conveys the same feeling of flight. However, fitness and condition are important!

Nearly 100 % of all participants on the courses since 2016 have achieved the goal, course level 3, and are now flying over the water!

Waszp course participants can also test the Skeeta. Both boats are used in the "Centerfoil courses", a maximum of 4 course participants then share 2 boats, supervised by the coach in the motorboat with radio and precise instructions that guarantee a quick learning success. In this way, we also give the course participants the opportunity to directly compare both centerfoilers, which address a similar target group.

Course programme

Each sailor is equipped with a helmet and waterproof radio, receives all instructions at the right moment and can implement them immediately. Stickl Sportcamp has been successfully training with radio for 20 years and this method also guarantees rapid learning progress when foiling.

Prerequisites:

Foiling is only recommended for very experienced dinghy sailors who have a feel for tippy planing dinghies. It requires good condition, agility and stamina. You learn sailing anew!

BEACH HOTEL ROSA - The hotel on the beach for foiling fans.

We run the new Beach Hotel Rosa ourselves and try to offer especially the kiters, surfers, wing surfers and foilers an optimal service directly on the beach next to the sport camp station.

This starts with a "power breakfast" before the water session from 7.00 am.
The hotel has a changing room and drying room for neos, harnesses and sailing clothing.
Kites, wings and surfboards can be stored directly at the hotel at no extra cost.
Launch of the shuttle boat at the Rosa jetty

Super comfort for all "board sports" and foilers who can wait for the right wind window on site.

Have breakfast, put on your neos, get your kites, wings and boards from storage and board the shuttle boat directly at the hotel jetty!

And there everything at extremely favorable prices. In the room to the back with breakfast buffet already from 39,-€ p/pers. in the low season!
