WingFoil - Beginner Lesson

Service Description

Wing Foiling is when the Surfer stands on a Foil Board and holds an inflatable sail (aka the 'Wing'). The Wing catches the wind, making the board move. A combination of speed and Surf technique causes the board to raise out of the water, balancing on its attached Foil system. While riding on Foil, the Surfer continues to use the handheld Wing to control speed, steer upwind, downwind and conduct gybe and tack turns; the Surfer can also dig into the board's rails using their body weight to carve along the surface of the water. Our Beginning Wing Foil Lessons offer a one-on-one Individual experience, with focus on teaching the Surf Student how to control the handheld Wing while standing on a stable large board off the waters of the Central Gulf Coast of Florida. Beginner Wing Foil Lessons are meant for the Surf Student who is looking to get wet and learn basic and necessary techniques of Wing Foiling, and has none or very basic Wing-Sail Handling skills. The board stays connected to the water, and has a large center dagger fin to help keep the rider upwind (the board does not have a Foil). This allows the Surf Student to stand up and go on the first try, while getting used to handling the Wing Sail and making basic turns. The lesson is catered to the student's learning curve, and focuses on teaching techniques that will help in the transition to riding a Foil board. The lesson aims to get the Surf Student to stand up and go, stay upwind, make slow tack and gybe turns with a focus on handling a Wing-Sail. By the end of the Lesson, the Surf Student may begin to feel how to connect to the ocean as it moves and start to ride the ocean swell by using the wind for power! Wing Surfing is made easy with instruction, no matter your age or skill level, come join the fun :) NOTE:  There will be no Online Booking for Wing Foil Lessons held in July - mid-August.  The Gulf Coast heats up too much during this time period, and the wind predictably shuts down during these months.  We like to have at least 10-18 mph for a Wing Foil Lesson. However, as an FYI, when the wind is no good, we encourage everyone to Book a Foil Drive Assist Foil Lesson and/or Demo Session. A Foil Drive Assist fits onto the same Foil of a Wing Foil Mast/Board, allowing us to train on No-Wind days, getting used to the Foil and Board for the wind does pick up. The Foil Drive Assist powers the Foil Board with a small battery, giving the effect of what the wind would do.
