Officially the fastest growing sport in the world, winging has taken the watersports scene by storm. Driven by a simple hand held wing up onto a highly efficient hydrofoil, riders have unmatched fluidity and freedom to glide around effortlessly. Loved for its simplicity and versatility; a wing, board and foil will take riders into a wide variety of conditions, locations and riding styles, opening doors to the wider world of surf foil riding.
A stand alone sport complimentary to all other watersports thanks to its ability to make poor conditions fun, it’s not ‘why?’, it’s ‘when?’.
Run by our core team of passionate coaches who follow a clear format to make the introduction to winging both fun and informative too. All our sessions are focused on developing independence on the best equipment available.
