2 Hour Wing Surfing/Wing Foiling Lesson

About

What exactly is Wing Surf, Wing Foil all about ? It's the latest growing water sport and coming to your beach soon...

If you have visited the coast recently you may have spotted hidden amongst the windsurfers and kite-surfers something different but very similar.. You'll see someone holding a wing not fixed to the board - its not a windsurf sail and its not a kite, it's a wing...
