Dive into the world of wingsurfing with our intro session, designed to introduce you to this exciting new sport. Combining elements of SUPing, kitesurfing, and foiling, wingsurfing offers a unique experience on the water. Perfect for beginners or anyone curious about this trending sport, our session covers the basics in a safe and supportive environment. Located at Portland Harbour, one of the UK's top locations for winging, we provide all the equipment you'll need to get started.
Your wingsurfing intro session begins with an on-land introduction, where you’ll familiarise yourself with the equipment, learn how to hold and carry the wing, and practice safety techniques. The instructor will guide you through the process of generating power with the wing and performing safety stops.
Once on the water, the focus shifts to getting you sailing confidently across the wind, turning the board effectively, and returning to your starting point. As the session progresses, if the group’s pace allows, you’ll start learning more advanced techniques like power control, steering, and upwind sailing.
At the end of the session, your instructor will assess your progress and advise you whether you're ready to move on to foiling or need another progression session to refine your wingsurfing skills.

Wingsurfing is a relatively new watersport that combines elements from SUPing, kitesurfing, and foiling. Participants use a handheld wing to catch the wind and propel themselves across the water on a SUP or windsurfing board. When combined with a hydrofoil board, the sport transitions into wingfoiling, allowing for a sensation of flying above the water.
The session is designed for anyone interested in learning about wingsurfing. It caters to complete novices as well as seasoned watersport enthusiasts looking to try something new.
No prior experience in wingsurfing is required, making it accessible to all.
You'll start with a brief introduction on land to understand the basics of controlling the wing.
The session then progresses to the water, where you'll practice manipulating the wing’s power while standing on a SUP or windsurfing board with a centreboard.
As the RYA’s first recognised wing-surfing and wing-foiling training centre, we offer unparalleled expertise in this new sport. Our location, Portland Harbour, is one of the UK's premier foiling locations, offering perfect conditions for wingsurfing.
