Wing foiling Lessons
The fastest way to learn wing foiling in the west
Wingfoiling or winging is the new, exciting discipline to arrive in the world of watersports and uses a lightweight, inflatable wing with handles and a hydrofoil to lift you and your board above the water. It's the fastest-growing water sport today. Foiling above the water feels exciting, magical and gravity defying.
We're hooked! and Velocity Wing Foiling School will help you get hooked too... We've carefully put together a programme aimed to take you though from the first time you jump on a board, to the first time you jump with one!
The process of learning to wingfoil is essentially divided into two main sections, off the foil and flying on the foil. Learning the skills of controlling the wing and board without getting onto foil is absolutely essential and is covered in our
Introduction to Winging lesson. This is taught on a large board without a hydrofoil.
The second half of the journey is about getting onto the foil and this is covered in our Wingfoiling Flights course.
At BCYC Wingfoling lessons are bought to you by Velocity Wing Foiling School here at Axbridge / Cheddar reservoir. It's the ideal place to learn, safe, friendly with easy access and beautiful surroundings.

Intro to Winging is the ideal first winging lesson for most.

Wingfoiling flights (3hrs)
It's time to fly.
This lesson is aimed at those who have previous experience handling the wing and are ready to progress on to the foil, or those who have a good level of foiling experience in another watersport such as kite foiling, windsurf foiling or surf/sup foiling.
This session is a 3 hour intensive session focused on an introduction to foiling.
