Wing Surfing LessonDo you ever find yourself sitting on the beach, wishing there was something more fun you could do? Look no further, this lesson is designed to give you and your friends or family something great to do on a nice summer day. 

This 1.5 hour Wing-surfing course is the perfect activity for both adults and children. It does not require much wind to have an awesome session! 

The lesson will start on the beach setting up and becoming familiar with the wing. Then you will take to the water and learn how to control the wing in the water while sitting or kneeling on an inflatable tube. The lesson will then move to handling a wing on a inflatable paddleboard that is anchored in place. After mastering the wing on the paddleboard in place you will move to another inflatable paddleboard that will allow you to get your first rides with the wing.

CUT AN HOUR OFF YOUR LEARNING CURVE - 
Video homework will be attached to your confirmation email.
 
Please watch all 9 instructional video episodes of ~3 - 7 minutes so you can understand all the control movements for the wing in the wind, the paddle board on the water, and the relationship between them for navigation and steering.
 
The time you spend watching the videos at home will save more than that amount of time during your lesson for practicing and progressing.

Lesson is limited to 4 people max. Group lessons are on shared boards/wings using the buddy system to assist and learn from each other.
One instructor can not supervise multiple beginner riders heading in different directions.

Resting between practice rides allows students to watch their friends and understand what works v what makes you fall.

At our center, we provide the wing and board you need for the lesson. As well as helmets and impact vests for safety. We also have helmet radios so you get direct feedback and advice while on the water. 

You'll be surprised with just how much you can learn in light wind conditions. We are able to work on our board skills in the rare event the wind is too light for the wing

If you have any more questions, feel free to call or email us at any time. Remember, if you don't start this year, you will still be just watching next year, wishing you were on the water with us.

Lesson Cost

1.5hrs, $200/pp up to 3 people. This is a group lesson.

Suggested items to bring with you on the day of your lesson:

  • Sunglasses
  • Hat
  • Sunscreen
  • Water
  • Wetsuit or Boardshorts (If you have them)
  • Helmet (if you have one)
  • Stoke
