Wing Foiling Lessons
Introducing beginner to advanced wing foiling lessons on Alta Lake.
Wingfoiling is an exciting and relatively new water sport that offers a unique blend of wind and water dynamics, making it accessible and enjoyable for a wide range of water sports enthusiasts. Wingfoiling combines elements of windsurfing, kiteboarding, and surfing. It involves using a handheld inflatable wing, known as a wing, to harness the power of the wind and propel a rider across the water while standing on a board equipped hydrofoil.
Equipment
Wing
A handheld, inflatable wing that generates lift from the wind. The rider holds onto the wing with their hands.
Hydrofoil
The hydrofoil lifts the board out of the water as it gains speed, reducing drag and allowing for a smoother ride. A board without a hydrofoil using a daggerboard and fins is initially used for learning.
Board
Inflatable Learn to Foil (LTF) board with daggerboard. The hydrofoil is attached later once wing handling and basic manoeuvres are achieved.
Safety
Riders often wear a wetsuit, helmet, and life jacket for protection and buoyancy.
