Wing Lessons
Surprisingly Easy and Fun!

Suitable for ANYONE 80lbs or More!
What is Winging?
Winging is term for Wing Boarding and Wing Foiling. The “wing” is a kite with no lines! It is very similar in nature to a kiteboarding kite as you inflate the kite to give it rigidity and shape.
Unlike kiteboarding, the wing is simply hand held and not attached to the rider by a harness or a board. This makes it way easier to learn, extremely safe, and a free feeling that captures the thrill of kiteboarding. Free flowing sport that gives you that amazing feeling of moving on the water propelled by the wind!
What is the difference between Wing Boarding and Wing Foiling?
The difference is the board that you are using. Wing Boarding uses a large board similar to a stand up paddleboard.
Wing Foiling uses a smaller board with a mast and hydrofoil that mostly relies on you build speed and fly above the water.
In short Wing Boarding is easy for almost everyone! Wing Foiling is much more extreme and takes more time to master.
Wing Boarding
Due to the size of the board, you don’t sink on the board! This is a huge difference because you are instantly having fun!
Unlike kiteboarding where you have to master the water start, wing boarding is instantly sailing and having fun!
The board has a special fin configuration that allows you to track downwind and upwind. Wing Boarding is all about learning to handle the “wing” hand held kite.
This is required for all first time experiences. You must learn to handle the wing.
Perfect Step One! Wing Boarding is perfect to learn even BEFORE taking a kiteboarding lesson!
Why Learn to Wing Board?
