This program is ideal for beginners or early intermediates looking to build a strong foundation and accelerate their learning in a fun, supportive group setting. You can choose between the below 2-day camps.

• Prerequisite: None Required

• Suggested Age: 12-18 years

• Session Length: 2-Day or 3-Day

• Boats: Wing Foil

Clinic Structure & Progression:

• Stage 1: Wing Handling & Non-Foiling Basics
• First, focus will be on developing control and confidence with the wing on land, followed by our first non-foiling runs on the water. The goal here is to build a solid understanding of wind dynamics, board control, and body positioning.
• Stage 2: Non-Foiling Practice & Tow Foiling
• Next, dive deeper into non-foiling riding and introduce tow foiling—an incredibly effective way to isolate and master foil control before combining it with the wing. These sessions will be adapted to the group's individual progression.
• Stage 3: Wingfoiling Integration
• Once you’re comfortable with both non-foiling and tow foiling, we’ll bring it all together. The final sessions will focus on full wing foiling—linking skills and getting you flying with confidence.

Junior Club programs end at 4:00 pm each day, and we’re here to make pick-up more convenient for busy families.

Our trained Child Care Staff will provide engaging supervision, including fun arts and crafts, games, reading, and group activities. To ensure a smooth end to the day, children will take the 5:30 pm launch back to City Station, where they’ll be ready for pick-up between 5:45 pm and 6:00 pm.
