Wingfoil is one of the fastest growing sports in water sports! Wingfoil, as the name suggests, combines foil sailing and wing surfing. Wingfoiling is becoming increasingly popular, especially for those who have previously surfed with a traditional sail or kite, as wing surfing gives you a much freer and lighter feel, without the need to carry a rickshaw or worry about tangling kite lines.
The idea of the foil, or hydrofoil, is to raise the board above the surface of the water, as if it were floating on the foil. This reduces water resistance enormously, making surfing light and allowing wingfoiling even in fairly light winds.
Learning to wing surf is a great way to start in winter on ice or in summer on a SUP board, so there's no need to jump on board a hydrofoil straight away. If you have no previous experience with other waterboarding disciplines, starting on ice will lower the threshold even more. It's easy to start learning on skis or even skates if ice conditions allow.
Wingsurfing is a fun sport that is suitable for almost everyone, regardless of their background, and there is endless things to do and new things to learn. Best of all, you can wing surf all year round!
