Learn to Wing Foil

    

LEARN TO WING WITH SURF CONNECT - BRISBANE'S ONLY IKO ACCREDITED SCHOOL

WINGing is a NEW SPORT that is going to be our most popular sport in coming years. You can do it on water (surf or flat water, on a paddleboard, windsurfer or a foil board, on land with skateboard, rollerblades or mountainboard, or on the snow with skis or snowboard! It is like a combination of windsurfing, kitesurfing, supping, surfing, foiling - ALL IN ONE! 

It is easy and safe to learn, great for the whole family to have fun together. The foiling on water is a hydrofoiling evolution of windsurfing, as well as typical sailing boats and sailing hydrofoils. It uses similar equipment to windsurfing with a normal or slightly evolved rig on a normal or specialist foil board. The board has a hydrofoil mounted in the fin box.

The main advantages of WINGing are:

SAFE & SIMPLE - no lines, no need for clean wind, even if wind drops or turn offshore, one can simply lay on the board and paddle back to shore. 

EASY TO LEARN - most would only require ONE 2-3 hours of lessons to learn all the basics and safety. You should then be able to purchase your own equipment to continue practising. 

ENTRY LEVEL IS LOW - even very young children can learn.

VERSATILE - does not require much room to launch/land, can be done off boats, in lakes, beaches or open ocean. A few knots of wind is all you need to have fun! If you love surfing, then riding the swells with a Wingfoil will take you to a level you have never experienced before. 

EQUIPMENT - much less equipment than most other foil sports.
