From Wingfoil Trips to Towfoil Retreats – The New Direction of Time 2 Wing
Five years ago, our journey began — not by the ocean, but on a small lake in the Netherlands called “de Mooie Nel”.
That’s where we first picked up a wing, curious about this new sport that blended freedom, balance, and nature in such a unique way.
Just a few months later, we decided to take a leap — and moved to Portugal.
The start in Portugal 🇵🇹
At first, we organized small wingfoil trips for friends and travelers who wanted to experience foiling for the first time.
That slowly evolved into the Time 2 Wing Foil School — a place where hundreds of people learned to fly over the water for the very first time.
Wind, freedom, sunshine… it was an incredible chapter.
New ideas, new limits ⚡️
We also tried e-foiling for a while — but honestly, it got boring pretty fast.
And around our coastline near Vila Nova de Milfontes, it just wasn’t a sustainable business.
Meanwhile, we were tow foiling.
We had always done it.
And every single session was pure magic — but somehow, it never clicked that this could become something bigger.
Maybe we were limited by the name we gave ourselves: Time 2 Wing.
The moment everything clicked 💡
Then, earlier this summer, the boutique resort next to our HQ opened its doors.
Through some good connections, we got to know their team — and suddenly, everything fell into place.
We realized two things:
1️⃣ Tow foiling in winter is what we love the most.
2️⃣ The combination of adventure, comfort, and good food makes the experience truly unforgettable.
That’s when we knew — this is the direction we want to go.
The birth of our Towfoil Retreats 🏄♂️
And so, the idea of Towfoil Retreats was born.
A weekend or week where you don’t have to think about a thing.
Six hours a day behind the ski — chasing waves, carving endless lines, feeling that incredible flow.
Then comes the other side of it —
relaxing in the spa, enjoying fine local cuisine, and soaking up the Portuguese lifestyle.
That’s what makes it a retreat:
You arrive, foil, and everything else is taken care of.
You move, you rest, you reset.
It’s the perfect balance of physical intensity and deep relaxation — a one-of-a-kind experience.
Our DNA stays the same 💫
Adventure. Waves. Adrenaline. Relaxation. And a touch of Portuguese indulgence.
That’s our DNA — and it’s not changing.
Only the shape of it evolves.
Time 2 Wing is entering a new era.
From wingfoil school to a place where people can experience the purest form of foiling — in total comfort.
Towfoil Retreats — the next chapter.
And honestly, the most exciting one so far.
