RYA First Flights
If you're confident in winging and staying upwind on a SUP board, then you're all set for your first flights!
This course is for those with prior experience equivalent to RYA Improve your Wingsurfing standard. Don't hesitate to contact us if you're unsure about meeting this requirement.
Our course will take your pre-learned Wingsurfing skills to the next level as you venture into the exciting world of wing foiling. Our expert instructors will guide you towards understanding and achieving your first flights in both directions, empowering you with the knowledge to extend your flight time.
By the course's end, you'll master the safe setup, launch, and recovery of wingfoiling equipment, performing your first take-offs, and enjoying short flights on the foil. Furthermore, you'll deepen your understanding of equipment options and opportunities for progression.
Our professional instructors ensure ample coaching with a maximum student to instructor ratio of 4:1. For safety and efficient learning, kit-sharing is implemented, as learning to foil can be tiring. We've noticed that students actually progress faster when sharing kit, allowing them time to listen to the instructor and absorb information before heading back out to put it into practice on the water.
Requirements:
- Experience equivalent to RYA Improve your Wingsurfing (Able to wing upwind on a SUP, tack, gybe and return to the beach)
Additional Information:
- Changing facilities and shower available on site
- All equipment, including wetsuits, buoyancy aids and helmets will be provided. Just bring suitable footwear that you're comfortable getting wet in.
If you've already completed the First Flights course or possess equivalent experience, we invite you to explore our RYA Sustained Flights for your next wing-foiling adventure!
