Have you wanted to try foiling but wonder if you have the ability? Or maybe you want be sure you will enjoy it before spending the money? Are you interested in race foiling but don't know what equipment you need and the budget required? For anyone who is interested in wind foiling come down and experience the joy of flight in a safe, friendly environment. We will have multiple setups available to try with coaching and information available from experienced foilers. We can show you that it's not overly expensive to get your first setup and what is needed to make it work for you. We will be located out the front of the Windsurfing Centre of Excellence at RQYS

At present on the day we will have -

- four foilers providing guidance to newcomers on easy to use setups
- one race setup to try if you are thinking about getting into racing
- Simon from Board Crazy will have foils from Naish, Fanatic and Severne to demo
- IQ foil gear (new olympic foiling setup) + the latest moses race foil to look over and discuss
- custom board and foil setup from Kevin to show what is possible when making your own
- foilers who are more than happy to give you tips and advice about what to buy, gear setup and tuning

If you are looking to demo one of the new foils and you already have a board capable of fitting a foil, please bring it along.

If you are already a competent foiler and are happy to share your experience please contact us.

Hi all it is looking like the westerly winds will stick around for our try windfoil day on Sunday. It is unsafe to run a clinic in an offshore wind so therefore the practical part will have to be postponed.

We will still be running theory sessions as well as showcasing different equipment setups (freeride, race and Olympic class) and answering any questions you may have.

Come see us from 11 am.

I'm fairly certain this day has been cancelled due to COVID 19 restrictions
