Wingfoiling<\/a> is one of the new board sports, whose number of practitioners is constantly increasing, some even abandoning their favorite practice. Wondering why? <\/b>We give you the 5 good reasons to practice Wing Foil! If you’re not familiar with the sport,
\n Wing Foil involves standing on a board with a foil with a wing in your hands<\/strong>
\n<\/a>. The foil resembles an underwater plane which, thanks to the speed generated, will create a lifting force. The Wing is similar to a kite, in order to gain speed. <\/p>\n

Wing foiling <\/b>has many advantages, both on land and at sea. This new nautical practice offers unique gliding sensations with much less constraints than Kitesurfing<\/strong> or Windsurfing<\/strong>. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

5 good reasons to practice Wing Foil <\/h2>\n

Reason 1: Simplicity and ease of use<\/h3>\n

When you start Wing after Kitesurfing or Windsurfing, everything becomes easier! On the one hand, the equipment is really minimalist<\/strong>. All you have to do is inflate your Wing, set up your foil.<\/a> If you opt for an inflatable board such as the SROKA Air,<\/a> you will be able to store everything in one bag<\/strong> ! Perfect for transporting and preparing your gear anywhere. The gear is light, and it is not necessary to have a large sail, or straps, harnesses… In less than 10 minutes, all your gear is ready to hit the water.<\/strong> So if you have an hour of time for lunch, you can sail for 45 minutes.<\/p>\n

Then, getting into the water is easy, depending on the spot you can start directly from the beach or from a slipway<\/strong>. The return is also simple: if the wind drops, with the sufficient volume of the boards, you will be able to return while sailing (unlike the kite where you swim in). If the wind picks up, it is also easy to get back safely, with much less risk than in kitesurfing.<\/p>\n

In addition, the WingFoil<\/strong> offers you a very versatile equipment and therefore the possibility to discover other facets of foiling sports (SUPFoil<\/a>, WakeFoil<\/a>, WindFoil, KiteFoil<\/a>, SurfFoil<\/a>…).<\/p>\n
