We are stoked to have become the first official Wing Foil school on the Sunshine Coast.
What is Wing Foil?
Wing Boarding / Wing Foiling is the hottest new wind sport. It combines a kiteboard kite-like sail, but is handheld similar to a windsurf sail. It’s essentially a cross between a windsurfing sail and kiteboarding kite but with no rigging, no hardware and no strings attached! This makes Wing boarding a lot easier to learn but still offers riders that awesome free-flight sensation by using a handheld inflatable surfing wing.
If you’re just getting started and want to learn more about wing boarding then you’ve come to the right place! We’re gonna cover everything you need to know about wing foiling and wing surfing.
The Sunshine Coast is one of the best places to learn this sport. Thanks to its location with shallow and flat water help beginners to learn and progress faster.
Golden Beach Teaching Spot
The most southern spot on the Sunshine Coast, Golden Beach has the most outstanding conditions for teaching due to the large shallow areas and easily accessible sandbars.
Wind:This spot works on either a North-East or South-East.
Location: Golden Beach, Ayliffe Park.
