Wingsurfing & Foiling- The new board sport in the sports camp.

What is wingsurfing and what requirements should I have ?
You could say a mixture of windsurfing and kitesurfing.
It is probably more accurate to say that wingsurfing is a new board sport that appeals to windsurfers or kitesurfers. But the spectrum is much wider.

Wingsurfing is a new sport on the water that ANYONE can learn.

And that too in an extremely short time. Important are the physical conditions. If these are present and in addition the experience from windsurfing  or kitesurfing comes and the sense of balance from many other sports  like snowboarding, skateboarding or generally sports disciplines with gymnastic training, then the way to first flight feelings on a Wingfoilboard is very short.

After a few hours or a few days of preparation on a stable windsurf or sup board, which are necessary to learn the handling  After learning the basics of the wing, you switch to the wingfoil board and experience the indescribably cool feeling of floating over the water and flying silently over the water with little effort and much higher speed.

THAT'S UNIQUE!
On the windsurf board it takes incomparably longer. In most cases, when we talk about recreational athletes, months or years until you can move from windsurfing board to foil. Not to mention kitesurfing, where the transition from kiteboard to foilboard is even more difficult.

Prior knowledge of sailing is of little consequence. Apart from theoretical knowledge of aerodynamics, there is little that can be gained from this when starting out in wingsurfing.
Everyone is starting a new sport!

Some with advantages, like windsurfers or kiters, but even without this experience you can learn this new sport as a physically fit, agile person and FLY in no time.
