Slick Jumping on Christchurch estuary
Wing/ Foil Sessions
Wing foiling is taking windsports in a new direction where the only boundaries are your own imagination.
Learning to use the wing is very intuitive, with most people enjoying sailing around happily in short time. The sessions take away the guess work & help you understand what is possible in very quick learning curve.
Sessions start on a Standup paddle board, once you are confident on the wing, then we introduce the Foil board.
$230 / 2hr session.
includes gear.
Ideal lesson if:
- you have never done any windsports .
- a great way to introduce yourself to the wing.
All that is left for you is to take flight and enjoy the ride!
