What is Wing Foiling?
Wing foiling is a wind sport that exploded from prototype to global boom in 2019–20. The rider holds a handheld inflatable wing and stands on a hydrofoil board — the foil lifts the board clear of the water, letting the rider carve, jump and cruise silently at high speed. The IWSA now runs a world tour with racing, freestyle and Big Air disciplines.
