What is it?
Wingsurfing is a new, easy to learn sport rapidly gaining popularity across all ages. Wingsurfers are propelled by a light-weight, hand-held, inflatable, aerodynamic wing similar in shape to a windsurf sail but with no rigging, hardware or strings! This makes Wingsurfing easy to learn. To further ease entry into this exciting sport, recreational riders and beginners can start on non-foiling boards - even conventional surfboards and SUPs - offering fun and excitement without mastering the additional skill required to foil. Once confident (it won't take long!), Wingsurfers can use the same Wing on a Foil Board ....
Foil Boards are like a short surfboard with a hydrofoil (winged fin) on a mast that extends vertically below the board into the water. When accelerated by the wind propelling a Wing or a Kite, instead of planing on the water’s surface, the hydrofoil lifts the board out of the water so that rider stands up to a metre in the air. This enables the board to accelerate and maintain amazing speeds - up to 70 km/h!
Wingfoiling is the hottest new wind sport matching a Foil Board with the same hand-held, inflatable, aerodynamic wing used in Wingsurfing. More skills and faster speeds make Wingfoiling the natural progression for riders seeking the awesome free-flight sensation of foiling. Wingfoil competitions are conducted in different disciplines including course racing, speed, downwind, slalom, wave and freestyle.
Kitefoiling course racing will debut at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. Kitefoiling matches a Foil Board with a large, powerful kite to propel the Foil Board and rider at amazing speeds even in light airs. The advanced skills and the options to race competitively from club to international level make Kitefoil course racing a great sport for competitive sailors from junior classes onward.
