‘Wing Surf’ or ‘Wing Foil’?
The appeal of Wing Foil / Wing Ding / Wing Surf seems to be enormous and we can help you easily decide which course is right for you?
- Limited or No Watersports experience or sailing awareness – Start with WING SURF
- If you have foiled on a windsurfer / Kitesurf / SUP / Surf / Wakeboard – Our recommendation is you probably should go straight for WING FOIL 1 – We will fast track you through the wing skills covered in the WING SURF
- If you are an experienced short board windsurfer or kitesurfer – If you are keen – again you will probably be best with a WING SURF which may get you there faster but a WING FOIL 1 is possible!

Wing SURF
1:1 Session – £100
2:1 Session – £180
It commences with a land based introduction to the essentials of wing foiling – covering the gear, selecting it and setting it up – how to handle and manoeuvre the board and wing together. A site assessment of the location with what to consider is followed by a session on the water. Learn to get on the board, fly the wing and get to a standing position.
Master handling the power and steering the wing on a SUP/windsurf board to cruise across the wind and other ‘points of sail’, turn around and come back . This course will also cover variety of self rescue techniques to understand how to get back to the beach should the wind drop or conditions change.
Wing Foil 1 & 2
1:1 Session – £195 – WingTro
2:1 Session – £250 – WingPro
From experience the fastest route to success would be spreading this over two sessions. Simply put the the first session (Wing-tro) will get you up and flying – a second session (Wing-Pro)should hopefully see sustained flight
A swift précis of the WING FOIL course will allow your instructor to show you the route you will take from getting on the board to full foiling. The introduction to the board and foil on land is combined with launch and recovery techniques. From, managing your wing and how to approach to the board, will lead to you standing up and development of low riding control. The final step builds on coordinating everything to allow you to successfully take off and then control your first foiling flights. The next stage is progressing you on to sustained flight and foiling transitions.
PROGRESS ON
WING FOIL CLINICS – Gear Trim, Gybe, Switch Stance or Tacking..
