- It's a true experience of freedom to glide above the water. Imagine yourself, carried by the wind, gliding effortlessly across the water!
About your coach - I started wing foiling when wing foiling just started.
From the first prototypes of wing foiling and perfecting coaching technique in Turkey to teaching in one of the biggest schools for wing foiling at lake Garda. With 6 years of riding and teaching, I can surely state - wing foiling is a life changing experience!

I am, sadly, the only professional coach from Moldova

I’ve trained over 600 students
in 6 countries — from beginners
to those confidently riding.

I joined a Surfcamp & it was the best time not only on the water but even on land as with your good friend.
You’re a wonderful person, Vova, who is changing lives of many people!
In my case, you gave the feeling of safety on the water and that I can also surf when my dad is not „in person“ around.
He gave me the first push in to the Sport and you gave a big push to continue learning
Thanks Vova, for this amazing Experience that I will never forget.

My surfing level is beginner 😉. In November 2025, I a camp with Vladimir. I met several instructors, but thanks to a fortunate coincidence—I ultimately chose Vova Lesnikov. Even before starting our conversation, simply approaching him, I already sensed that his welcoming gaze and friendly expression promised only the very best 🙂!
After getting to know each other better, Vova found time for me in his schedule and proposed lessons in a small group of two students. I agreed—and have absolutely no regrets! Vova quickly established an individual approach for each of us, despite our different ages and nationalities (a Russian and a German). He skillfully planned each session based on weather conditions and our physical states, explained everything in simple, clear language and personally demonstrated the essential techniques.

Vova, you are cool, we were impressed by the classes all day today )) We discussed all evening who flew in which direction from the sail.

Great experience. The lake is absolutely stunning and the instructor Vova was very helpful and friendly. It was my first time surfing and I made a lot of progress in just one session. Will definitely do it again. Highly recommend.

Excellent organisation for learning wing foil. Everything was very well organised and clear. I especially liked my instructor Vladimir - his teaching style helped me progress
in the few hours we worked together. I would like to take even more lessons, but had to shortly leave this wonderful place! Hope to come back
in the future!

or this could be your review. I'm sure of it.

He also introduced us enthusiastically to sail setup and tuning—a knowledge that later proved extremely helpful when I practiced independently on the water.
The lessons took place in a relaxed, genuinely friendly atmosphere, and the instructor always considered our preferences. I felt his genuine care and attention throughout. While teaching us, Volodya answered our questions and explained concepts fluently—switching effortlessly between English and Russian—as it best suited the situation. It was evident that he truly enjoys what he does and deeply loves his profession.
During our time together, I learned that Volodya is a polite, well-mannered person from a sports-oriented family. He has practiced yachting and windsurfing for many years, winning championships in Moldova and Bulgaria. For the past 8 years, he has worked as an instructor, generously sharing his experience with fellow wind enthusiasts. At 26 years old, he is an energetic, proactive young man possessing the ideal blend of coaching experience and remarkable charisma.
Finally, let me say: If you want to learn windsurfing from a true professional—and simultaneously enjoy the process in the company of a pleasant, supportive instructor—then Vladimir is unquestionably the best choice for you. With him, success is guaranteed, just as it was for me 👍!
Volodya trained me for 5 days, and I left Dahab a happy, progressing rider—having significantly improved my skills.

I often get asked these questions, and I'm happy to answer:
I don't know anything about wing foil. Is this for me?
Yes, and that's perfectly fine. I specialize in beginners: I'll show you how to hold the sail, get on the board, and catch your first wind. I explain everything simply, without complicated terms. We'll take it step by step.
What if I'm afraid I won't succeed?
You're not alone. Almost everyone is nervous at the start — it’s completely natural. My goal is to support you, relieve stress, and show you that it’s totally doable. You’ll be surprised at how much you’ll achieve, and you’ll definitely leave with joy, confidence, and great results.
I don’t have any sports training. Will I be able to do it?
Of course! You don’t need to be in perfect shape to start — wing foiling is accessible to anyone. It’s all about technique, and we’ll adjust the intensity to your level. The main thing is your willingness to try.
I’ve tried wing foil before. Will it still be interesting?
Absolutely! We’ll move on to more advanced techniques right away: working on turns, speed, and wind forecasting. There will be challenges, development, and a lot of fun — without going over the basics again if you don't need it.
What if I’m going alone and don’t know anyone?
You won’t be alone. The camp is a warm community, full of support, and a great place to meet awesome people. Even introverts feel at home here: no pressure, but everyone is open and friendly. It’s all about trust and a shared vibe.
