Wing surfing is the latest watersport to hit our shores and combines the amazing freedom of foiling with wind power, without masts, lines or ropes.
It has obvious similarities to a number of skills from Kiting, foiling, sailing, windsurfing and SUP. It can be done on flat, bumpy and wavy water and also can be done inland on previously ‘un-kiteable’ venues across the UK.
This course is designed to introduce a safe and logical beginner session to wingsurfing. Starting on a non-foiling board and progressing onto a larger foiling board setup.
The course will familiarise candidates with;
- the scheme
- knowing the safety
- stages of learning
- equipment
- ratios
- location
This is a 2day course including both practical and theory sessions. Candidates must already hold a valid BKSA, BSUPA or RYA instructor qualification.
