13. 11. 2023

Who wouldn't want to fly over the water with an incredible feeling of freedom and adrenaline? Wingfoiling is a sport that combines the best of windsurfing, kitesurfing and paddleboarding, and you can try it too!

Let's start at the beginning. What exactly is wingfoiling? Imagine a surfer on a board that is equipped with a hydrodynamic profile called hydrofoil - such a chicken leg. You take a wing in your hand and let's do it. The beginnings are difficult, but you can start with a paddleboard on the water or a longboard on solid land. Once you decide to go wingfoiling on the water and get into levitation, the feeling is surreal. You're up there, gliding above the surface of the water, and virtually noiselessly. But there is one catch - you need wind.

You can operate wingfoiling on any water surface where there is enough wind, space and water deeper than about 80 cm. Wave-free conditions are ideal, at least to begin with, so it pays to look for sheltered bays or lakes. But if you want a higher level and action, the sea waves will provide you with an unforgettable experience.

The key to success is learning step by step: dry training on land, wet training on SUP and then get on the foilboard and then regular training and patience. Don't despair if you don't succeed at first. We all have our own pace and wingfoiling is a sport that is learned gradually. It is good to start with a bigger board and a bigger foil. You then gradually reduce the displacement of the board and the size of the wing in liters.
