Beginners Guide to Learning Wing Foiling | How to Wing Foil Series Ep. 3

Our journey - #3 Wingfoiling!
Now we’ve mastered wing surfing we’ll look to progress onto wing foiling. We will need to change the kit. The boards are typically smaller and of course, we’re adding a foil.
ⓘ This video series has been demonstrated using the FreeWing GO - the latest wing to hit the market that is ideal for entry-level riders looking to get into winging and progress to more advanced wing foiling/ surfing. Learn more about the beginner GO wing here: freewing.star-board.com/freewi...
In this video, we'll cover the following aspects to learn wing foiling:
» Foil setup, different foil tuning for more and less lift, how the foil attaches to the board, sizes
» Launching, landing self-rescue with foil
» Getting to your feet with a small board
» Riding off the foil
» First flights
» Sustaining flights/adjusting height
» Pumping
» Upwind / downwind
» Gybing
» Riding switch/ foot change

[@johnadamsartist]

Thanks for the great video, its really very well put together. Now I need to find lessons in Ireland. Happy Foiling to all here.

[@paradasobligatorias]

¡¡¡ Por fin un vídeo bien explicado de como levantar el vuelo !!!. Muchas Gracias.

[@dickeybirdcreates6157]

If there was one video to teach you everything you need to know, this would be it. Nice work team.

[@maxsyruj5872]

Thank you. I've just managed to stand up and could not figure out how to get speed to lift my board. Now I know I was putting too much weight on my back leg, and everything you said was happening to me. Cant wait till next windy weekend.

[@aldochotzen]

Great video, one of the best I’ve seen. If you could do this in a strapless board (as I’m learning) it would be a great complement!!! So we can have a view where to position our feet!! Thank you again from Paraguay!! 🇵🇾

[@peterling2527]

Outstanding production. Thank you so much!

[@kiterstefan1150]

Best schooling video ever! Which spot is this?

[@Yvesfrenchtouch]

Super ! How to begin if the sea is moving a lot

[@stephens.9748]

Awesome Video! Have a quick question on pumping. I noticed in your video you pump clockwise when going to the left and counter clockwise when going to the right. When I do it i seem to be more comfortable going the opposite; Counter Clockwise when going to the left and Clockwise going to the right; Is one way more efficient? or just personal preference? thanks again

[@ugge101]

very well explained, also very good with the square/cross things to show where the focus is The pumping is not so good explained.

[@FreewingWorld]

Thanks for the feedback Ugge. In episode 4 we dive more into 'wing foil progression' - so please check out that video for more info 😉

[@ugge101]

@@FreewingWorld I mean wing pumping. E4 talks of foil pumping.

[@johnshingler2126]

Good video but one observation I was curious about...interesting that you call toe side riding "switch" when switch in snowboarding, skateboarding and kiting would be riding goofy on your heel edge if you are regular footed and vice versa. Is toe side riding in windsurfing called "switch"?

[@WingsurfingMagazine]

Switch is riding with non-dominant foot front. Same as snowboarding.

[@healscotland4237]

Do you need the foot straps?

[@felixdacat18]

been struggling to learn to gybe on a starboard 115 lt board, and a 2000 low aspect foil, would it be easier on some different/ smaller kit?

[@phanthecuong5632]

Tôi đến từ VN, thật tuyệt,

[@nfinnigan]

Foot straps, don't they complicate things when starting off, I see they are doing no good to lock the person on the board as they are mega loose anyway. Just my opinion, thanks.

[@robadair]

Pretty good but you should teach stink bug starts. Way more efficient.

[@FreewingWorld]

thanks for the feedback Rob, we'll look into that for the next one. Subscribe so you don't miss the next one...

[@WingsurfingMagazine]

Stink bug is a game changer in chop.

[@satoshinakamoto6215]

Sarà che andavo in windsurf e in mare respirerei come i pesci ma non credo che ci sia gente così inesperta se ti viene in mente il Wing non sei un beginner🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💯🏅💪🤙😉

[@maxagent86]

This is less of a wing and much more of a kite, both in form and in aerodynamic behavior. The name of this sport is a misnomer, it should be called Handkiting. Still cool, though.

[@kitingkev]

you are telling a nube to turn an upside down wing to learn to foil
