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 boat's and sailing hydrofoil's. 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 to clean wind, even if wind drops or turn offshore, one can simply lay on 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 - easy and can be packed in small car.
One hour beginner's lesson with qualified instructor. No experience required but you must be of good health, able to swim and under 100kg.
