2 Hour Private Winging Lesson in Long Bay Beach

Posted By : twohotfeet
I took two wing foiling lessons from ONDA. My instructor Atanas and all other staff were great. The gear was good, well suited to my needs, and the two way radio an excellent way to receive the real time feedback. Highly recommend both, this outlet and instructor

During the planning stages at home, Ashton was very patient and helpful answering all my email questions, even those not directly related to the wing foiling lessons. I was surprised and pleased to find out that not only is Ashton from Canada but also from the same province, Saskatchewan, that I am. I felt like we had a bit of a connection.

Two days before this lesson, I had an efoiling lesson with a different company. That experience left me with my knees and elbows sore and bleeding. So, I was very pleased and grateful when my instructor, Atanas, handed me a pair of kneepads right at the very start of my lesson. Another pleasant surprise was when they gave me a helmet that was equipped with radio earphones and microphone. This would prove to be a big help during the lesson, as my hearing isn't the best.

Atanas was a very skilled and patient instructor with a sharp eye for detecting the subtle errors that I was making. Under his guidance I seemed to catch on to the basics of controlling the wing and board.

All in all the people of Onda have successively taken their passion for kiteboarding and wing foiling and turned it into a very professional and friendly business.

We came back to Provo specifically because Ashton, Atanas, and Zorka are so awesome. They are such amazing teachers and all around good people. Ashton was super flexible with scheduling since the wind doesn't always cooperate. Also their equipment is the best which makes a huge difference when you are learning. This is the best place to learn Wing Foiling and these are the best people. Our second trip won't be our last.

Ashton was awesome!!! I took a lesson with him to jumpstart my wingfoiling and I couldn't have been more impressed with his professionalism, knowledge, and ability to provide super helpful guidance in a very digestible way. I really wouldn't look anywhere else if you're looking for a watersport experience and i'll certainly be coming back on my next trip!

I did both wing and kite. Great instruction and friendly people. They really made it easy for a beginner like me. with radio communication and jet ski to take you up wind. Conserves your energy for the sailing!

I contacted Ashton via email in the trip planning stages and he helped me tremendously. When we were on-island, he was always available and super responsive. Zorka is the kindest person who always had a helpful coaching tip and offered a wealth of information about island life. Most of my time on the water was with Atanas. His knowledge of wing foiling is exhaustive and he is a phenomenal coach who knows how to balance when to coach and when to let you try things on your own. Although you know they do this as a business, they come across as people who just love what they do and are passionate about teaching. They genuinely want you to succeed and are incredibly generous in sharing their knowledge. I learned more with them that I could ever have imagined. The location is also perfect, as you are never more than chest deep so you can take a break any time.

Awesome first experience kiteboarding with Atanas (hope I'm spelling that right!). I looked at a ton of different lessons on the island, but really appreciated Ashton and Karen's story on their website.

Atanas, was great about getting through theory and getting me behind a kite and on a board as fast as I was comfortable. Long Bay has to be one of the best places in the world to learn to kite. Beautiful shallow bay and wasn't crowded at all. Jet ski was key for getting where we wanted to be and away from anyone else. The instruction, people, and gear were completely top notch.

My wife was trying to video from the beach and Ashton just jumped on a jet ski, took and incredible video and airdropped it to us.

If you're even thinking about a lesson, I can't recommend these guys enough. I'd come back to the island just for another lesson with these guys.

Our family of four did wing surfing lessons with Athana and Ashton with Zorka's help. We all had such a wonderful time. They were great to work with and had us all up on the board and having a great time just a short time into our lesson. We had such a great time that my son and husband went back two days later for a kiteboarding lesson. While kiteboarding is harder to learn they still had a great time and both were up on the board by the end of a short 2 hours. They obviously have tons of experience and make it incredibly fun.

I took my first ever kite lesson with Atanas. He is the best!!!! He took the time to explain everything in a way that I understood and felt comfortable. I always felt safe and got some short rides the first day. My partner wasn't interested in kiteboarding so she took a wing lesson and loved it. Onda has a great setup in Long Bay with jetski rides, so you don’t have to walk, and radios so you can hear the teachers instruction. The water was warm and clear. It really is the best place to learn kiteboarding.
