Wing Foiling Lessons in Aruba

What You Need to Know Before Trying Wing Foiling in Aruba

Wing foiling (also known as Wing Surfing or Wing Boarding) is the exciting new watersport that’s taking the world by storm. It combines the best aspects of windsurfing and kitesurfing into one thrilling experience. The sport involves holding a small, lightweight sail in the air to catch the wind while balancing on a board. Beginners start on a stand-up paddleboard (SUP), and as you gain speed, you’ll transition to a hydrofoil board. The hydrofoil creates lift, allowing you to glide above the water’s drag, giving you that incredible sensation of flying!

Wing foiling blends the thrill of both windsurfing and kitesurfing. The turns (called transitions) are similar to those on a directional kitesurfing board, while holding the boom of the wing feels a lot like windsurfing. The way you maneuver the sail feels like a hybrid of both sports, and with no lines involved, you won’t have to worry about tangles or kite crashes. It’s no wonder this sport is rapidly gaining popularity among windsurfers and kitesurfers alike.

What to Expect in Your Wing Foiling Lessons

• On Land Training: You’ll start by learning how to control the wing on land—mastering how to hold it and move it in different directions.
• Water Practice on a SUP Board: Once you’re comfortable with the wing on land, we’ll head out on the water with a large paddleboard to practice balancing while using the wing.
• Transition to Hydrofoil: After you’ve got the hang of balancing on the SUP, it’s time to switch to the hydrofoil board. This is where the real fun begins!
• Open Ocean Instruction: Our experienced instructors will be with you every step of the way, staying close in a boat on the open ocean, giving you plenty of space to practice and learn. As you pick up speed, the hydrofoil board lifts, allowing you to sail above the water for an exhilarating ride!
