3. Wingfoiling Session (Gong HIPE First 5'11)

Today was my third Wing Foil session. It was the first session that wasn't just challenging; it was also the first session where I managed to go upwind instead of just floating downwind.
Compared to the last time I went out, the major difference was that I positioned my feet slightly better. I used to have a tendency to shoot up on the water and then crash. But today, I adjusted my foot placement forward, which resulted in a much smoother flow.
Another distinction from the first two times was that there was much more wind today (9-11 m/s). In short, it made the whole experience much easier. I didn't exert any effort to balance myself today, nor did I need to pump the wing. The wing also acted as better support for me, which is why it was also easier to get up and ride quickly.
In the final part of my session, I consistently managed to stay up and fly for ten to twenty seconds at a time. I'm quite impressed with how well you are able to go upwind, compared to windsurfing, where I find it to be more challenging.
All in all a great session with a great feel og progression.
