Wingfoiling

Wingfoiling in front of Sylt

Wingfoiling is a water sport that developed from kitesurfing , windsurfing , wingsurfing and stand up paddling and which combines foil surfing with a wing. Thanks to the T-shaped wing under the fuselage, the so-called foil ( hydrofoil ), the board lifts completely out of the water and glides even in little wind and low speeds. The driver holds a wing in his hand, which he places in the wind. In this way, it generates both buoyancy and propulsion and thus moves floating on the water.
