What's the difference between Wing foiling and Wing surfing? Both are two separate sports, with key skills that crossover from one to the other.
Let us explain, wing surfing utilises the “wing” along with a paddleboard or a large windsurf board to sail across the water. Wingsurfing is the best way to learn how to handle the wing properly on a safe and approachable platform. This light wind sport can be enjoyed using a paddleboard or windsurf board which you may even already own.
Wingfoiling goes a step further and uses that acquired skill set of correct wing handling to let you progress onto a foil board and attempt your first flights ‘on the foil’. Improving your wing skills before jumping on a foil board, means you’re likely to progress much faster and manage the different moving parts of a wingfoiling with greater ease!
All lessons will be run by our RYA qualified wing surf and wing foil instructors, running straight off Abersoch Beach and will be safety boat covered.
All necessary equipment will be provided including wetsuit, buoyancy aid, helmet, boards, wings, and foil.
