Is wing surfing difficult? How do I learn?
The surf wing is taking the world by storm, both because of its simplicity and its versatility. It was originally conceived to be used with a foil board, but it can and has also been adopted for use with regular SUPs, as well as windsurf and kiteboards.
What started Foil Paddleboarding
In 2016, Kai Lenny, a prominent Hawaiian surfer, stand-up-paddler, windsurfer, and kitesurfer approached Alex Aguera of GoFoil with an unusual request. He wanted him to attach a foil to a stand-up paddleboard. After playing around with a few designs, Aguera obliged him by mounting a foil on a 315 cm paddleboard, and the first Hydrofoil SUP was born.
Paddle boarding is the medicine we need
Our upcoming film night will explore Cal Major’s transformative journey from Land’s End to John O’Groats, and how paddleboarding can impact us, and the world we live in. Vitamin Sea beautifully shows how our personal connection to the ocean can help us to better experience and bond with our environment and our communities, and how this helps us, and the waters we paddle on to heal.
