Wing Foil
Wing Foiling is when the Surfer stands on a Foil Board and holds an inflatable sail (aka the 'Wing'). The Wing catches the wind, making the board move. A combination of speed and Surf technique causes the board to raise out of the water, balancing on its attached Foil system. While riding on Foil, the Surfer continues to use the handheld Wing to control speed, steer upwind, downwind and conduct gybe and tack turns; the Surfer can also dig into the board's rails using their body weight to carve along the surface of the water.​
Please remember! It takes time and effort to become proficient in any extreme sport. Wing Foiling is considered an extreme sport -- not just anyone does it! Don't be surprised if on your first lesson you are not an expert, it's a lot to take in, so don't get discouraged. If one lesson isn't enough for you, and you want more Instruction and Riding time check out our Clinics!

Beginner Wing Foil Lesson
Beginner Wing Foil Lessons are meant for the Surf Student who is looking to get wet and learn basic and necessary techniques of Wing Foiling, and has none or very basic Wing-Sail Handling skills.
​
The Beginner Wing Foil Lesson is made easy with some Land-Based instruction, which will set the Surf Student up to learn the wind direction, Wing-Sail handling, board balancing through feet placement, and basic water safety. The remaining lesson is based on water while standing on a large Surfboard with a center dagger fin (no Foil). The large Surfboard stays attached to the water to allow the Surf Student to focus on Wing-Sail handling.
​
The lesson aims to get the Surf Student to stand up and go, stay upwind, make slow tack and gybe turns with a focus on handling a Wing-Sail. By the end of the Lesson, the Surf Student may begin to feel how to connect to the ocean as it moves and start to ride the ocean swell by using the wind for power!
