Orange Beach

Orange Beach, AL — Alabama Gulf Coast

Wing Foil America's first Alabama Gulf Coast entry. Foil Gulf Coast, a family-run eFoil and wing foil operation based on Bayou St. John Avenue and run by Gavin, Glenn, and Barb Rudolph, offers wing foil lessons scheduled around the week's wind rather than sold as a fixed package — call ahead to set one up. A real, well-reviewed local operation (43 Google reviews, 5.0 rating), though expect to get exact launch/format details on the call rather than from a page like this one.

Community-reported (2026-09-22) — sourced from Foil Gulf Coast's own site plus independent tourism-bureau, Wanderlog, and Yelp listings; see claude/instructor-research-log.md. Not yet ridden or confirmed firsthand by Will. Coordinates are the shop's own street address, not a confirmed exact launch point.
