Last Tuesday SoPYC conducted our 1st Wing Foiling training session. Wing Foiling is growing rapidly as it can be used by a wide range of people of different ages and skill levels.
Our 1st group consisted of 1 x powerboat owner, 2 keelboat sailors, and a non-sailor/surfer demonstrating the wide range of people attracted to wing foiling.
The age range was 38 to 59 with the average age being 50 (SoPYC average member age is 50).
Below are some photos of the various stages of the training process.
