Wing surfing is the fastest-growing sport on the water — a hand-held inflatable wing, a hydrofoil board, and the feeling of flying. We teach it in three parts, with a jetski beside you the whole time.

The same lesson price covers one rider or two — bring a friend and split it.
We chase you on the ski, so you can focus on the skill instead of ending up downwind.
We provide the wing, foil and board — or bring your own if you already have a setup.
Flat, shallow, wide-open water on the Banana River in Merritt Island.
Every lesson price covers one or two people. Gear is included.
one or two people
A solid first taste — board skills and time on the foil behind the jetski.
one or two people
The one most people take. Enough water time to get the foil dialled and start flying the wing.

Learning to foil behind the ski takes away the stress of managing the wing and the foil at once. The pull is steady and predictable, so you build the muscle memory first.
On the beach or in the shallows of the Banana River. Getting comfortable holding and steering the wing on solid ground is essential before it goes anywhere near a board.
Once the foil skills and the wing skills are there, we combine them — with the jetski chasing you so you never end up downwind with a pile of gear.
There are no real prerequisites to get pulled behind the jetski on a hydrofoil board. Prior board or sailing experience makes it easier, but it isn’t required — anything you have from kiteboarding, surfing, wakeboarding, paddleboarding, sailing, windsurfing or snowboarding will cross over.
We teach hydrofoil and wing lessons on a buoyant paddleboard to make it as easy as possible. Students with decent board skills typically take one to two lessons to feel comfortable with the sensation of foiling.
Wing surfing — also called winging, wing foiling or wing-dinging — uses a hand-held inflatable wing to move you across the water using nothing but the wind. It can be done on a standard paddleboard with a centre fin, but it is almost always paired with a hydrofoil and a foilboard.
The low resistance of the foil lets the wind lift you into the air so you glide above the water. It sits somewhere between kiteboarding, windsurfing, foil surfing and paddleboarding — and because you are not attached to the wing by a harness, you get a lot more freedom of movement, including the ability to ride waves.
A hydrofoil is a lifting surface that works in water. It looks and behaves much like an aerofoil on an aircraft, except the lift is generated in water instead of air.
As the foil picks up speed beneath the board it lifts you clear of the surface. With almost no drag you get more speed, better angles upwind, the ability to ride ocean swell — and a feeling closer to riding a magic carpet than anything else on the water.
Every participant must complete the online waiver before the lesson.
Most lessons meet at Kelly Park East after payment is made. It opens onto the flat, shallow, obstruction-free water of the Banana River — the best place on the Space Coast to learn to foil.

Foil skills carry straight over into the rest of it. Plenty of our wing students end up doing one of these.
The starting point for kiteboarding — kite control, safety systems and body dragging.
Take the foil skills you just built and put them under a kite.
No wind, no problem — an electric foil board you ride on the throttle.
