The sport that changed everything
Wingfoiling starts here.
An inflatable wing in your hands, a foil under the board — and suddenly, silence: you’re flying above the water. Wingfoiling is quick to learn, works in light wind and goes everywhere, even on a catamaran. At Cap Est or at anchor in the Tobago Cays, Fabien gets you airborne safely.

- Recent F-One, Gong and Alpine Foil gear
- Radio helmet: Fabien coaches you live
- Sessions straight from the boat during the cruises

Fabien
Skipper & instructor
Your skipper & instructor
I’m Fabien.
A professional skipper for 16 years and a state-certified kitesurf instructor (BPJEPS) for 22, I’ve been sailing and riding the Lesser Antilles for years. I know every anchorage, every pass, every spot — and above all the right moment to be there.
On board or on the water, my priority never changes: your safety. Small groups, well-maintained gear renewed regularly, radio helmets during lessons, a boat always close by. That’s what lets you truly let go — and progress fast.
Beginner or experienced rider, family or group of friends: tell me what you dream of and we’ll build the programme together.
“The best spot is the one where you’re alone in the world. My job is to take you there.”
Ride on, Fabien

The boat
CARA, Lagoon 380
The Lagoon 380 is one of the most popular cruising catamarans in the world — stable, bright, comfortable at anchor and under sail. Fabien has fitted out CARA down to the last detail: bedding, sails, tender, power… and a Nespresso machine for mornings at anchor.

Frequently asked questions
Another question? Fabien answers directly on WhatsApp.
Do I need to know how to sail or ride to join a cruise?
Not at all. Fabien takes care of the sailing, the manoeuvres and the customs formalities. Riders enjoy the best spots; everyone else the beaches, snorkelling with turtles and paddling. And if you feel like it, he’ll happily teach you to sail.
How do I book?
The easiest way: a WhatsApp message with your dates, level and wishes. Fabien replies quickly, confirms availability and explains how booking works.
When is the best season?
The trade winds are most reliable from December to June: that’s high season for kiting and sailing in the Caribbean. The school is open all year round, 7 days a week, depending on conditions.
Can we come as a family with children?
Yes, with pleasure! The school runs a kids’ course from age 9, and private charters are perfect for families. Just bring a swim belt for children who can’t swim yet.
Is the gear provided?
At the school, everything is included: kite, board, harness, wetsuit if needed and radio helmet. On the cruises, bring your own gear if you have it; otherwise you can rent on site and try the latest Eleveight, F-One, Gong and Alpine Foil gear.
