What is Wing Foil kitesurfing?
Wing Foiling, also referred to as Foil Wing, represents a captivating new form of surfing, blending elements from various water sports into an exhilarating experience. It incorporates aspects of surfing, windsurfing, and kitesurfing, resulting in a harmonious fusion. In essence, wing foiling resembles a sensation of floating effortlessly.
While the concept of wingsurfing dates back to the mid-80s, it is only in recent times, propelled by advancements in tube kites and, notably, the widespread adoption of foils, that wingsurfing has truly come into its own, poised to become the next big phenomenon in water sports. We have to admit that at Pousada Kite Guajirù wing foiling has already captured our hearts.
What skills do you need to get started with Wing Foil?
While possessing foil skills from another sport can certainly accelerate the learning process, wing foiling can also serve as your initial introduction to foiling. So beginners and newbies are most welcome to start directly with this exciting water sport
Do you really need lessons to learn Wing Foil?
One of the most interesting aspects of this sport is its short learning curve. You can begin by learning to sail back and forth with a wing on a board equipped with a keel fin, even without a foil, on your first day. Without the need for prior sailing or foiling experience, you can anticipate achieving your first sustained foil ride within 3-5 days of lessons.
