Activity overview
This week is designed to help participants progress through the RYA Wingsurfing and Wingfoiling pathways. You’ll start with the basics of handling the wing on land and water, then develop your skills to sail across the wind, and eventually work towards your first foiling flights. Throughout the week, you’ll gain confidence, build water skills, and learn essential safety knowledge.
Our qualified instructors provide individual guidance to ensure everyone progresses at their own pace. You’ll also have access to the centre’s full range of wingsurf and wingfoiling equipment, while learning the theory behind winging, foil dynamics, and safety practices on the water.
