Activity overview

This is the second step in the RYA Wingfoiling Scheme, designed for those who have already experienced their first flights and want to progress further. Over this course, you’ll refine your technique and develop a deeper understanding of how your foil works, helping you to maintain longer, smoother, and more controlled flights.

With the guidance of our expert instructors, you’ll also begin to explore more advanced skills, such as holding ground upwind and downwind, and working towards initiating gybe entries from a foiling position. By the end of the course, you’ll have the confidence and knowledge to take your foiling into a wider variety of conditions and enjoy extended time on the foil.
