One week in Portugal. A handful of people. Everything we know about towing foilers safely and running it as a business.

01

The driving

Rope work, whip technique, positioning, reading foilers, recovery and rescue protocol — on the ski, every day, in real Atlantic conditions.

02

The operation

Safety systems, gear fleet choices, maintenance, permits and insurance thinking, session formats that guests love and skis survive.

03

The business

The playbook behind our own operations. If we have trust in you, you can join Towtrips as a partner operator.

How it's taught

A working operation, not a classroom

Learn how to safely give people the ultimate foiling experience as a business.

  • ◆You train inside a running operation — the same skis, gear and protocols our paying guests fly behind.
  • ◆Real Atlantic swell, not a flat-water demo: you learn to read waves, currents and foilers at the same time.
  • ◆Taught by Lars and Tomaz — certified tow drivers with six years of combined towfoiling experience.
  • ◆Small cohort by design: everyone drives every day, nobody watches from the beach.
