An introductory course, providing a basic introduction to winging.

This course is split into two parts; flying the wing ashore, and getting afloat. Together these sessions provide the fundamentals of wing control, translating its power into forward momentum and steering, whilst reinforcing the core skills of board balance to enable you to travel across the wind a short distance, gybe and return to starting point.

Having achieved these skills ashore, you will progress to using a board such as a windsurfer (with centreboard) or WindSUP. You will be able to launch and land safely, sailing across the wind, steering towards and away from the wind, and carrying out a basic gybe.
