“Amazing tow sessions on mind blowing waves, fantastic local cuisine, great laid back accommodations, and the chance to connect with awesome humans who love the ocean playground they call home.”
“Amazing tow-foiling experience in Portugal and a perfect sporty getaway! Lars and Thomas are highly professional jet ski drivers and foiling experts, making the whole experience both safe and thrilling.”
“Time2Wing just secured a permanent spot in our foil retreat rotation. We came for the waves, but the hospitality from Lars and Tomaz — and the deep dive into the Portuguese lifestyle — made the trip.”
“Tow foiling is a magical experience — made all the better by a gorgeous stretch of coastline. Tomaz is an incredibly insightful and patient coach. Lars the same and also a very generous host.”
“Wonderful three days with Lars and Tomaz. Didn’t have to pack a board or bring my foils. Got to use the latest Armstrong equipment. They’re set up perfectly to maximize water time and are excellent tow drivers.”
“These guys know exactly what board and foil set up works best, they know how to tow you into the wave and how to get you out of it safely.”
foil good waves, eat good food, relax in the spa, and take home an experience of a lifetime
The spot
Vila Nova de Milfontes
A small white-and-blue village on the Alentejo coast in Portugal, where the Mira river meets the Atlantic.
This stretch of coast is a protected natural park. No towers, no crowds, just cliffs, pines and swell that has crossed the whole Atlantic to get here. And when the session ends, the village does the rest: great restaurants, quiet streets and nobody in a hurry.

Tomaz

Head driver and the backbone of every trip — big-wave safety trained, the reason guests relax the moment the rope goes tight.
Vitinho

FAQ
Everything else you're wondering
How to reach us+
Fly into Lisbon or Faro. Vila Nova de Milfontes is about two hours by car from either airport.
Rent a car at the airport for around €15 a day ($20), or let us arrange a taxi — €200 per ride.
The village has about 30 hotels, resorts and B&Bs and some 50 restaurants. Once you've booked, we'll send you our favorites.
The meeting point for the sessions is on our contact page.
2-hour or 3-hour session — which one is for me?+
What level do I need?+
You should be a competent foiler for the sessions as we offer them — whether you come from wingfoiling, parawinging, surf foiling, kitefoiling, e-foiling or wakefoiling.
If you're completely new to foiling, you're welcome too: we start you behind our boat on flat water instead of the jetski in the waves. Once you can get up behind the boat, we move on to the jetski.
Whatever your level, it's important that you're comfortable in waves.
Best season+
The swell season runs from October through May. October, April and May usually bring slightly warmer temperatures but a bit more wind in the afternoon; December through March tend to have the most consistent waves and the least wind, but are a little cooler.
Long-term averages. Swell consistency = share of days scoring 7+ on our forecast scale.
What else is there to do?+
How does booking work?+
What's included — and what should I bring?+
Every session includes a jetski with a driver, board, foil, and an impact vest and helmet (best to bring your own if you have it).
For every 4 sessions, a free lunch and a private spa session (hot tub, sauna, pool) are included.
You should bring a wetsuit (4/3 mm or 5/3 mm).
If you'd like to bring your own foil and/or board, you can.
What if the ocean doesn't cooperate?+
