So, you wanna be a winger!
Awesome!! Well, Lets Go then!
Of all the disciplines wing foiling offers the highest reward for effort.
This is a discipline that offers:
Maximum time on foil
Is great in windy conditions
Its also great in the winter
You can have fun on flat water
And you can ride Waves
You can go fast and you can cruise
You're starting a sport which offers endless progression, so you'll always be challenged
Independence and maximum time on foil
If you wanna be a foiler then (I think) winging should be one of your disciplines. It enables you to have so much fun in wide range of conditions. This means you can progress, it means you can foil in deepest darkest winter when getting in the water is not appealing. Because once you can do it without falling so much you can be out on the water barely getting wet or cold.
And it changes your perception of wind. Lets face it we have a lot of wind in the UK which messes up otherwise great waves. But when you can wing it opens up an entirely new playground. When its windy you can have so much fun on a foil.
Afterall when we go surfing a lot of time is sitting waiting for waves, but when wingfoiling you're riding the board ALL the time. Its more like skating or snowboarding in that regard.
Add in some waves, or even just bumps and you have a new playground unknown to other board sports because of the glide of a foil.
Its not like kiting or windsurfing where you're hanging on and aggressively beating up wind, on a foil your riding above the water surface, as ruffled as it is , you're able to remain cool calm and collected!
