Wing Foiling Canada
1. What is wing foiling?
Wing foiling Canada: It's a great combination of windsurfing, kiting, and foiling
Wing foiling is a beautiful marriage of windsurfing, kiting, and foiling. Wing foiling is less dangerous than kite boarding because you don't have to contend with the long lines that are attached to the kite. Instead, you are simply holding onto the wing.
The board that you use is larger than a kite surfing board and it is actually "floaty." It is similar to a windsurfing board, however, it is shorter and stubbier. It has enough buoyancy so that you can actually stand on it while you are getting underway. In addition, once you are proficient at engaging your foil, you can do wing foiling in lighter winds than you need for kiting or windsurfing.
The best way to understand foil boarding is to look at the pictures included in this post.
2. How long does it take to learn to wing foil?
Wing foiling Canada: You could learn it in as little as 7 to 10 days
The exact time that it will take you to learn wing foiling will vary from person to person. If you have done windsurfing or kiteboarding before or if you have a knowledge of foiling, have good balance and you are tenacious, you should be able to learn how to wing foil in about 7 to 10 days of serious effort.
When you are learning wing foiling, it is a good idea to have a rescue plan set up such as a boat that is able to pick you up if you travel too far down wind. The walk of shame back up the beach can be a long and tiring one!
