Into to Winging @ Cheddar BCYC

Intro to Winging (2 Hours) @ Cheddar Watersports

Come join us for an exciting Intro to Winging session at Cheddar Watersports! Whether you're a beginner or looking to improve your skills, our experienced instructors will guide you through the basics of winging in a fun and safe environment.

Intro to winging is the ideal first winging lesson for most. Unless you have a reasonable amount of experience in another foiling discipline, this is the one for you. This session is a 2 hour group session (max 4 students) focused on the basics and will progress you from wing handling on land to riding along on a large stable board using the wing to harness the power of the wind.

In this lesson you’ll learn how to get up and go, steer and turn around so that you are ready to progress to a foil board. We will also teach you wind and water awareness.

This session is taught on a large board without a foil.

Important note before you book:

Although we only need a minimal amount of wind for this lesson (we need more for foiling) we do need some wind!

So when you book a lesson, you should assume this is the time and day we want to run the lesson, but we can't guarantee conditions will allow this.

If the conditions don't look good we will let you know a two or three days beforehand and try to reschedule your session. Or you can select another date (from our list of published dates on eventbrite).

So if you book for a Saturday please try to keep the Sunday free, as we may reschedule the session for the following day if the conditions on Saturday do not look good.

We may also alter the start time of the session on the day to match the weather / wind conditions. We will let you know if this is the case.

(All our lessons run with a minimum of 2 people).

Wetsuits:

This session is for people with their own 5mm wetsuit and wetsuit boots. If you don't have your own wait for our lessons in May when the weather and water are warmer and you can use our club westuits.

Communication:

We will send you updates via email so it is important you give us an email you use daily.

Don't miss out on this opportunity to try something new and enjoy the beautiful surroundings of Bristol Corinthian Yacht Club. See you there!
