Weekend wing foil clinic with two levels July 2/3. Camp 1 teaches wing flying techniques on a SUP. Camp 2 puts the foil on the bottom. Great place to meet others at the beginner stage and create a community to aid in progression over the rest of the summer.

just wanted to throw some feedback here.
If you're thinking about winging, i can tell you, it's harder than it looks.
Fred and Matt broke it down to some pretty critical info that we could practice on land, then take it to the water. They kept it fun at the same time. They are going to have more clinics next month. I recommend spending the money. Personally, I think i would have gotten frustrated just jumping into it on my own.

all the info on links above.
i was in the beginner camp, camp 1. we ran from about 9am (wings in hand) to about 1pm (arms flopping by my side). 350 - all gear provided.

i feel like i got plenty of money's worth, and progressed more in those 3-4 hours than i would have in a couple of sessions on my own. some key things were learning how to flip it, learning how to keep it out of the water, learning how to move from luff to power and back to luff (hand movements), and on the water instruction for jibes. the rest was just figuring out how to withstand the gusts, and lean/cut.
