Wing foiling is only just new to the market but with the introduction of the wings a new board sport has been added for on dry land; Wing skating (or wing boarding!).

Wing skating is a fun and useful alternative on cold days

Wing skating is the perfect way to practice your skills without getting a wet suit. You can easily grow some board feeling with it and it is perfect to get to know your wing better. Our experience is that in no time you can pick up the wing skating and enjoy it a lot of fun and profit. In addition to balance learning, you can, for example, practice with getting power out of the wing. In the beginning it takes some getting used to, but soon we roll the first ‘rides’ up and down. You will quickly learn how to position the wing properly so that it remains free from the ground, something that definitely helps when wingsurfing (on the water). Useful skills such as pumping, jibing and switched-stance roles can also be practiced well on land.

Wing skatighas a lot of potential?

The power of wing skating is that you can start within 1 minute. Just pump up the wing and you’re ready to go. The speed can also be dosed well. Wings are good power loosen and with that you keep a lot of control over your set and the chance of falling is very small and you still have the ‘freedom feeling’ of wing foiling. In addition, you pick it up faster than, for example, kite skating and you need less space, although we recommend keeping enough distance from pedestrians and obstacles.
