Beginners Guide to WingFoiling - Fly the Wing on Land

In this Beginner’s Guide to WingFoiling tutorial, I run through the fundamentals of wing handling. WingFoiling is a difficult sport to learn, but you can give it a go on your own. What’s cool, is you can do all these exercises on land on your own and you’ll gain the experience to help progress through the early stages of WingFoiling.

In this WingFoil tutorial, I start off showing you how to fly the wing and control the wind power by sheeting the wing in and out. Then I explain how to avoid the common problem of wing-tip drag and demonstrate how to rotate the wing. In the middle section of the video, I’ll take you through the stand-up process, it’s the same process all of us wingers use to get to our feet! At the end, you’ll see how to do more advanced motions like turning the wing around so you can go in the other direction and pumping the wing, which is very useful to get up and foiling early or when you’re underpowered in light wind.

I hope you enjoy the video, it was fun shooting it! If you practice these exercises on land first, you will have a quicker and smoother WingFoil progression in these early stages.

WingFoiling is a very approachable sport and can be done on so many different bodies of water, but learning these fundamentals are essential. So go find some wind and let me know how your session goes! And, remember you can always book a wing foil lesson with me! Either in La Ventana Baja Mexico or San Francisco!
