Wing Foiling Flights (3 Hours) @ Cheddar Watersports

It's time to fly. This lesson is aimed at those who have previous experience handling the wing and are ready to progress on to the foil, or those who have a good level of foiling experience in another watersport such as kite foiling, windsurf foiling or surf/sup foiling.


This session is a 3 hour intensive session (max 4 students per instructor - 2 student per board) focused on transitioning from a regular board without hydrofoil to a foiling setup. During this session you will gain the necessary skills to experience your first glides under wing power! This session will introduce you to hydrofoils, how they work and how to use them. In addition we will cover practical guidance on those tricky questions that seem so hard to answer for first time foilers like; kit setup, how to get upwind and what happens if I need to turn around and get back home.

The RYA recommends 8-10 hours of instruction for your first flights, so you may want to join one of our progression clinics.


Important note before you book:
We will only run the Wing foiling lesson if there is enough wind to foil, so you book a lesson then we scour the forecast, days in advance to make sure it will be windy enough.

If the conditions don't look good we will let you know a two or three days beforehand and try to reschedule your session. Or you can select another date (from our list of published dates on eventbrite).

So if you book for a Saturday please try to keep the Sunday free, as we may reschedule the session for the following day if the conditions on Saturday do not look good.

We may also alter the start time of the session on the day to match the weather / wind conditions. We will let you know if this is the case.


Communication:
We will send you updates via Eventbrite emails so it is important you give us an email you use daily.


Don't miss out on this opportunity to try something new and enjoy the beautiful surroundings of Bristol Corinthian Yacht Club. See you there!

We'll introduce you to hydrofoils, how they work, and proper use. How to begin to master the techniques needed to get up and foiling. We'll cover crucial topics like kit setup, getting upwind, and safely navigating back to shore.

Why is windy better?

Although it's possible to learn how to handle the wing in most conditions, hydrofoiling requires power in the wing and some speed, so we only run our Wing foiling courses when there is enough wind.
