RYA Learn to Wingsurf

• Learn how wind affects the wing in a theory session before heading out
• Practise flying and controlling the wing ashore
• Take to the water to balance, steer and travel across the wind
• Try a gybe, then return to your starting point
• Talk through the session and what you’ve learnt back ashore

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 You’ll feel how small adjustments change the wing’s pull, then put that feeling to work as you find your balance on the water in Abersoch. Back ashore, there’s time to talk through how it went and make sense of what you’ve learnt. A wind theory session at the start helps you make sense of the breeze before you put it to use. It’s a good fit for swimmers aged ten and over who fancy trying a wind-powered sport.
