Wing Foiling

Wing foiling is like unlocking a hidden superpower. You step onto the board, catch the wind with your wing, and feel the water disappear beneath you as the foil lifts you into a smooth glide. This exhilarating sensation combines surfing, flying, and sailing. Every gust of wind propels you forward while the foil slices through the water effortlessly. It’s not just a sport; it’s an experience that makes you feel weightless and alive.

WHY WING FOILING

• Unmatched Freedom and Versatility: Unlike windsurfing or kitesurfing, the wing is not tethered to the board, granting riders unparalleled mobility and the ability to adapt to changing conditions with ease.

• Quick learning curve: More than 70% of beginners master the basics in just 4 hours, compared to 10 hours or more for kiteboarding. This efficiency lets newcomers enjoy the sport sooner.

• Elevated Experience: The hydrofoil effortlessly lifts the board above the water, offering an exhilarating, gliding sensation that feels like flying.

• Enhanced Accessibility: Wing foiling is more approachable than kitesurfing, requiring minimal equipment and enabling beginners to thrive in a variety of wind conditions.

• Vibrant Community and Expanding Popularity: This rapidly growing sport is uniting passionate riders worldwide, fostering a supportive community where enthusiasts eagerly share tips and experiences, making it easier than ever to join the adventure and progress faster.

GETTING STARTED
Choose the Right Gear for Success:

• Board: Select a larger volume board (90–120 25% in liters over body weight) to ensure maximum stability and confidence as you learn.

• Mast: Opt for a shorter mast (70–75 cm) to minimise the risk of falls and boost your comfort level.

• Wing: Choose a medium-sized wing (4–5 m²) that provides the versatility needed for various conditions.

SAFETY FIRST
Equip yourself with essential safety gear:

• Always wear a helmet, an impact vest, and a leash for both your board and wing. Your safety is paramount.
