What's the difference?
Wingfoil or eFoil: which one's for you?
Both lift you above the water thanks to a foil — that underwater wing that raises the board. The difference? What powers you forward.

Wingfoil — the rider's sport
You hold an inflatable wing that catches the wind to move you along. It's a real skill to learn — sporty and exhilarating — and it takes wind and a bit of practice. For those who want to progress and feel that pure gliding sensation.
→ Perfect if: you love board sports and want a fresh challenge.

eFoil / electric foil — the thrill with less effort
The board is electric. You control your speed with a simple handheld remote — no wind, no wing. The feeling of flight is instant, doable from your very first session, whatever the weather.
→ Perfect if: you want to discover foiling the easy way and enjoy a one-of-a-kind experience, with no technical learning curve.
Wingfoil
Wingfoil — the next generation of riding
A few years on the scene and wingfoil has already won over Lacanau lake. The idea: an inflatable wing held at arm's length catches the wind, while the foil under your board lifts you above the water. The result — a silent feeling of flight, no waves, no noise. It's one of the most accessible ways to taste foiling when there's wind about.
At Be Wind Family, we're with you from your very first feel of the wing right through to your first flights on the foil. With its flat water and steady thermal wind, Moutchic lake is the ideal place to learn safely. Expect a few sessions to get airborne — just enough time to master the wing, then find your balance on the foil.

eFoil / electric foil
eFoil — fly without wind, open to everyone
The eFoil is the magic of foiling with none of the constraints. An electric-powered board, a remote in your hand to manage your speed, and there you are, gliding silently above the water. No wind needed, no board-sport experience needed: most beginners are up and flying within their first session.
It's the perfect activity for a first taste, a thrilling gift to give, or simply to enjoy flying over the water without the technical side of the wing or the kite. On Moutchic lake, in calm and unspoiled surroundings, you get an experience that's as gentle as it is spectacular — guided by an instructor, in complete safety.
Sessions to remember

Mathieu and Axel
"Five days of kitesurfing as a beginner with my 9-year-old son — a brilliant team. Paul and Brice taught us to ride with real kindness, warmth and good humour. I can't recommend Be Kite in Lacanau enough!"
Teddy
"You're in the hands of THE right person. Paul is a great teacher and, above all, a real pleasure to be around — you have a genuinely good time with him. After a few days' course you've got solid foundations to keep learning on your own."

Bertrand
"A big thank you to Paul and Léo for their teaching (and their patience). First time kitesurfing, over 3 days (3h per session). They take you out by boat to a safe area of the lake where it's waist-deep all over for several hundred metres."

Servane
"Great end-of-day session, just the two of us, with supervised riding — the best! The van sits in a sheltered spot, but you really feel the good wind once you're out there. The gear is top quality. A real pleasure!"
