The purpose of the day is to introduce club members (at no cost) to the exciting world of hydrofoiling, specifically Wingfoiling! This really is just a "taster' rather than a dedicated learn-to-foil course. It's about getting people familiar with the equipment, asking questions and experiencing the sensation of foiling for the first time. It's also a great excuse for a social event where we can all meet up and have a drink after. 

We will limit the taster session participants to 12, but the more that come to watch/socialise the better. The group will be split into 3 groups of 4 and will rotate around 3 demonstrations.

Demonstration 1: Wind Wing Flying and Tech Talk. This is an opportunity to get hands on a selection of wingfoiling wings and fly them on the land. The instructor will show you how to correctly handle a wing and manoeuvre it to generate forward momentum.

Demonstration 2: Foil and Board Tech Talk. This will be a technical hands on chat about the gear. How and why it works and what gear is best for the different elements of the sport.

Demonstration 3: Foiling experience. This is where the real fun happens! We will take the 4 participants on the water and tow them, on a foil board, behind a jetski to get the sensation of foiling. After instruction and a demonstration, we start with foiling on the knees and move to the standing.
