Wing Handling for Beginners – Wing Foil Tutorials

Wing Handling for Beginners - Wing FoilingThis series has many videos showing how to handle the wing for foil winging.  Starting with the basics, on land and then in the water, of picking up the wing and turning it right side up and finishing at the point of ready to get up on the foil.  I show and explain various ways of holding the wing, flipping the wing over, and moving forward and turning around without catching the wingtips.  I show a few knee starts of getting up on the foil, focusing mainly on the wing handling (I will make a more in depth series on knee starts and getting up on the foil).

Tether to Stay Upwind – Wing Foil for Beginners

Wing Foil Upwind ToolA simple and cheap tether to allow anyone to stay upwind while learning to handle the wing. 

Only takes a few minutes to setup and remove without needing a new board or additional fins.

I spent hundreds of dollars on 3 piece adjustable paddles, and wasted countless hours paddling, walking, and biking back to my luanch point. I could have just used a tether, which I already had in the garage. I am certain I would have figured out the basics of wing handling on day one if I knew this simple tool to stay upwind.

Wing Foil – Tips for Beginners

Wing Foil Tips for BeginnersAfter completely flailing for 8 sessions I discovered how to wing foil with ease in sessions 9 and 10.  In this first video I explain what didn't work for me and then I show and explain what did work and why it works.  The second video I talk about safety and danger in offshore winds, and in the third video I explain what I did when the wind was coming from the opposite direction. 

Also I added a video of my wing foil session log from my first 60 sessions, no foiling video just me showing and talking about my notes and how my first 60 sessions went.

For reference I am 6'6" tall and weigh 200 pounds, regular foot (left foot forward) is my strong or natural stance.  At the bottom of this page I list my kite/wing/gear size for a given wind range. 8 videos.
