Wingfoil

Wingfoiling, also known as wingsurfing, is one of the fastest-growing water sports! As the name suggests, wingfoiling combines foil boarding with surfing using a wing. Wingsurfing has become especially popular among those who have previously surfed with a traditional sail or kite, as using a wing gives a much freer and lighter experience—without having to carry a rig or worry about tangled kite lines.

The idea of the foil, or hydrofoil, is to lift the board above the water’s surface, almost as if it’s floating on the foil. This greatly reduces water resistance, making surfing lighter and enabling wingfoiling even in fairly light winds.

Learning wingsurfing can start comfortably in winter on ice or in summer on a SUP board, so you don’t have to jump straight onto the foil. If you have no prior experience with other waterboarding disciplines, starting on ice lowers the learning barrier even further. You can begin learning on skis or even ice skates if the ice conditions allow.

Wingsurfing is an incredibly fun sport suitable for almost everyone, regardless of previous experience. There’s always something new to try and learn. Best of all, you can enjoy wingsurfing year-round!
