Looking for something new to try this Summer?

Why not try Wing-surfing? Wing-surfing, and the more advanced wing-foiling, is the latest water sports craze to hit our waters. Unlike windsurfing, the wing isn’t attached to the board, but is controlled by your hands whilst standing on a board. It is a fantastic way to get more time on the water and to learn new skills.
