Wing SUP in Port Aransas June 2021

If you are wondering what it looks like when you use a Wing with an ordinary stand-up paddleboard, here you go. I am also using the Slingshot sUPWINDer keel attachment which allows me to sail upwind. The wing is a Naish Wing-Surfer S26 5.3 m.
I have a separate video in which I review the sUPWINDer keel.

Good practice for the latest craze- wingfoiling!

Hello from Galveston area! I am doing Wing SUP too! I'm also doing the prone foiling on the hopes that the skills will all come together and will help transition to Wing Foiling in the surf. Cool baby dolphin at 03:21 🤙

Great job!

I love the video! Wing-suping with dolphins, wow. One question, how do you turn? I just started wingsuping and have no background in wind sports. Would love to see a video on that.

Thanks for the comment! I need to make another video! Truthfully, there's a limit to how much turning you can do with a wing and SUP, basically just reaching upwind and down....not nearly as much as you could if you were actually foiling because you have such a bigger board and are dependent on wind direction. I'd say this is where sailing experience does help in my case. You can turn some more when going downwind to change direction, but most of the time, I'm just trying to catch the wind and go back and forth to the same spots!

Nicely done. Looks like you’re coming from a surfing background. Any other wind sport experience?

[@coastoftexas-ethanthompson4072]

yep, how could you tell? :) I've windsurfed occasionally over the years but never regularly. i actually tried windsurfing first, but surfing was way easier for a 12 year old! then about 9 years ago I began sailing a small dinghy, because my son was learning and I was tired of him having all the fun!

Great, would you suggest someone who has sailing experience to start learning with a sup and not with a foil?
