Love to foil or want to push your freestyle further?
The Stoke Coach says... "Keep it simple, make it stylish”
On our intensive advanced foil, freestyle and directional kite tours on the Cocos Islands , everyday you'll be pushed to your limits in whatever discipline you choose or suits the adventure of the day.
Our Stoke Coach; Ben Strowger's enthusiasm for progression is contagious, and with the help of his professional team, he promises you’ll be leaving the Cocos with a lot more skills and with a lot more style!
Zephyr HQ will turn into a Duotone and Naish test center stocked with all the latest and greatest kites, foils, surfboards, and toys for you to learn on, demo or hire supplied by our partners at Ocean Addicts QLD.
Differing from our popular Cocos progression tours for all levels, these advanced Foil & Freestyle kite tours will be adventure heavy set around intensive (yet fun) coaching sessions with;
This tour is for kiters who can already ride foil and want deep water to play in, or for intermediate to advanced riders who want to learn how to ride or get better at foiling, learn more freestyle tricks and try new disciplines of kiting.
KITESURF LIKE A PRO
Using the latest radio helmet technology and our support boat, you'll have the whole Cocos lagoon to yourself and the experienced Zephyr team riding with you every day.
Foil kiting
With the deep clear Cocos Islands water and awesome winds, it's easy to foil kite out here in paradise. For beginner foilers (must be able to kite), we start you off behind the boat and on a short mast, for you to get the 'feeling' of foiling. After you master this, you'll progress to a longer mast which will give you a lot more lift and upwind capabilities. Combine these foil skills with your kite and Bob's your uncle!
For beginners to advanced foilers, we will take you to exceptional deep waters with clean winds and boat support where you can ride and progress with our experienced team of kitesurfing professionals on both tours.

Go strappless on a directional
Master the gybe, toe-side or board-off tricks on a surfboard to help you in the waves or on a foil board. Learning on flat water is the best way for progression especially for wave-kiting. We'll take you to some re-form waves upwind inside the reef and on plenty of down-winders and lagoon crossings; all on a surf or skim board.
