FAQ

Why join

Foiling waves is one of the most magical experiences you can have — but it’s hard to find and access those waves, especially in Europe. With access to jetskis, a boat, and top-notch Armstrong foil gear, we offer a once-in-a-lifetime wave-riding experience, taking you to the best spots around and foiling 4–5 hours a day. You’ll get to ride more waves — and get a lot better at it too.

Can I choose my gear

Yes — you’re welcome to choose your ideal Armstrong setup for the retreat. Just let us know what you’d like to ride in the request form, and we’ll have everything ready for you when you arrive.

Thinking about buying the setup afterward? Let us know! Not only will your retreat be $300/€250/£200 cheaper, but if you’re visiting from outside the EU, you can also reclaim the VAT — saving you an extra 21%.

Where is it

We’re based in a natural park on the southwest coast of Portugal, in a town called Vila Nova de Milfontes — a hidden gem and bucket-list spot for many foilers. With 300 days of sun a year and direct exposure to the Atlantic Ocean, we enjoy consistent, year-round swells in one of Europe’s most beautiful coastal regions.

How long is it

Our retreats run from Sunday to Saturday. We’ll pick you up at Lisbon Airport on Sunday at 16:00, and drop you off the following Saturday at 10:00.

If you’re flying in from outside Europe, we recommend arriving on Saturday and leaving on Sunday — booking two extra nights in Lisbon to ease into (and out of) the trip.

Whats Included

Pretty much everything. Accommodation, transport, gear, coaching, all meals, and even drinks — both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. The whole idea is that you don’t have to think about anything. Just foil, enjoy, relax, and make the most of our local knowledge to ride the best spots around.

What does a day look like

Here’s how a typical retreat day unfolds:

09:00 – Breakfast at the resort
09:30 – Make your own sandwich for lunch
09:45 – Suit up (wetsuit on at the resort)
10:00 – Head to the harbor with boat and/or jetskis
10:15 – Sail out and search for the best waves
10:30 – Foil Session 1
13:00 – Lunch break on the boat or beach
13:30 – Foil Session 2
16:00 – Wrap up and take gear out of the water
16:15 – Back at the resort – chill time
19:00 – Dinner at a local restaurant
21:30 – Spa time (hot tub, sauna, and pool)
23:00 – Sleep, dream of foil lines

Who is it for

We mainly welcome intermediate and advanced foilers — riders who are already up and flying and want to take it to the next level. But we also run special beginner-focused weeks, perfect for motivated riders who dream of eventually charging bigger waves.

What about my partner or friend

Your partner or friend is more than welcome to join — as long as you’re happy to share a room. While foiling isn’t included for them, everything else is: airport pickup, food, drinks, dinners out, and spa time.

They can chill by the heated pool, walk to the beach, or try activities like surf lessons, yoga, or horseback riding. And of course, they’re invited to join our evening spa sessions. We’ll make sure they have an amazing time too.

Whats the accommodation like

You’ll stay in a brand-new boutique resort, locally known as a Quinta. In Portugal, a Quinta traditionally refers to a countryside estate — and this one blends rustic charm with modern comfort. It’s just a 5-minute walk from the Time 2 Wing HQ, and a 15-minute stroll to the beach and town. Expect stylish rooms, peaceful surroundings, and the perfect base to relax and recharge between sessions.

How many in a group

We keep it small and personal — with a maximum of 3 foilers per foil guide and tow vessel (boat or jetski)

What About Private or Custom Foil Retreats

Want a trip just for you and your crew? We’ve got you. We can organize private, custom retreats tailored to your level, goals, and vibe. If your group is larger than 3 riders, the retreat is automatically private.

Where to fly to and pick-up spot

Fly into Lisbon Airport (LIS). On Sunday, we’ll meet you either in central Lisbon at 14:00 or at the airport at 16:00— whichever works best for you. From there, it’s about a 2-hour drive to Vila Nova de Milfontes.

Once we check into the resort, we’ll kick things off the right way — with a cold beer at a local restaurant and a toast to an epic week ahead.

What If My Flight Doesn’t Align

We recommend arriving in Lisbon on Saturday and spending one night in a hotel — it gives you a relaxed start and avoids stress.

But if your flight is delayed or arrives after 16:00 on Sunday, no worries — you can simply take a taxi from the airport to the resort (at your own cost).

The same goes for the return: if our 10:00 drop-off on Saturday doesn’t fit your flight schedule, you’re free to book an earlier taxi to Lisbon.

How does the booking process work

f you’re interested, just fill out our booking form. Once we confirm availability and you’re ready to join, we’ll ask for a 50% non-refundable deposit to secure your spot. The remaining balance is due 30 days before arrival.
