Wing Foiling Progression @ Cheddar BCYC

Wingfoiling Progression (3 Hours) @ Cheddar Watersports

After that first exhilarating , but short lived flight, you've got the bug. But how do you go from that to the smooth effortless, sustained gliding you see on your insta feed?

This lesson takes you from that first feeling, though to longer smoother flights, over a 3hr session. We cover; generating board speed, smooth take offs, pumping to get on foil and maintaining your balance, along with steering and control on foil.

We can tailor the instruction to your needs so we can also cover the basics of gybing and getting upwind efficiently, as approriate.

Equipment:

The basic price for this lesson is for tuition only (on your equipment). When booking add the hire supplement (£50) to use our equipment: board/foil and wings.

Important note before you book:

We will only run the lesson if there is enough wind to foil, so you book a lesson then we scour the forecast, days in advance to make sure it will be windy enough.

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.

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 thinner 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!
