Want to start Wingfoil? Here is everything you need to know.
Wingfoiling – the newest sport to break into the water sports industry and the latest activity people said wouldn’t catch on. Thankfully it has and is growing in popularity like we’ve never seen before.
Many have said it encompasses windsurfing in many ways but in its true nature it holds a lot of similarities to kite foiling too.
Wingfoil lessons are a great way to explore this sport and see if this could be your newest obsession.
At Kitesurfing Lanka, our team is more than ready to help you take your first steps and discover your next obsession.
Here’s how the lessons go:
- First, you will speak with our master wingfoil instructor to find out your level of wind and beach knowledge. From there they will explain the equipment required to wingfoil and how to handle it appropriately.
- From there we head to the beach to learn more about handling wingfoil equipment and how to manage it while in the water.
- Then we put some safety gear on and get to practising the techniques of both the wing and hydrofoil board separately. That means feeling and getting to know the power of the wing and also how to get on the hydrofoil and get up to standing while holding the wing.
- Once you feel comfortable and understand the concept you will try everything in the water!
- Our awesome instructor will help you every step of the way so you can try to ride both sides and get a true sense of wingfoiling.
Yes, the beginning is hard but it gets easier the more you try it. If after a few tries you’ve got the hang of wingfoiling, feel free to rent equipment and continue exploring.
At KSL we have an epic range of spots to learn and progress in wingfoiling as well as a team ready to help you whenever you need.
Can’t wait to see you spread your wings!
