Portland Harbour, UK

We are back in Portland Harbour for our third year of coaching in one of the best foiling locations in the UK. This early summer week is perfect for riders who want to sharpen their skills, get tuned up for the season ahead, and take advantage of Portland’s reliable sea breeze patterns before the summer crowds arrive.

Rob is now based in Portland, so this is his home spot. That means deeper local knowledge, better planning around tides and micro-conditions, and more activities lined up for any light-wind days.

We limit the camp to 8 riders, supported by 2 coaches, to give you focused, personalised progress all week.

If these dates don't work for you, check out our later camp in August

Why Portland Harbour is ideal

• A huge protected harbour that stays flat and rideable in every wind direction

• Consistent early-summer sea breezes that often give us long afternoon sessions

• Safety boat on the water all week to maximise coaching and ensure confidence

• Tow foiling sessions for skill development if the wind dips

• Great accommodation options nearby, including excellent value rooms at RYA Portland House & options for camper vans

• Daily filming and high quality photos taken from close range to help you analyse every detail

• Access to a private training room at Portland House for video analysis sessions

• Max 8 riders with 2 coaches for genuine one to one attention

Wind and Weather

June is a strong month for kitefoiling in Portland. Afternoon thermal breezes often develop on sunny days, and any passing south westerly systems are usually boosted by the local sea breeze effect.

Bring a full range of kites from 5 to 15 metres. The water is warm by June but worth have your 5/3 and 3/2 summer wetsuit to cover all conditions. Booties help for the shoreline stones, though once you are in the harbour it is sand underfoot.

Who this camp is for

This week suits riders who:

• Have their own hydrofoil

• Can waterstart and ride both directions, even if still off foil

• Want to dial in gybes, foot changes, carving turns, 360s, tacks or early jumping

• Have done one or two camps with us before and want to build real confidence before the main summer season

• Are new to Progression and want an introduction to our hands on coaching approach
