Dedicated Centre
WING foiling is taking the water sports world by storm. At Club Vass we always aim to be at the cutting edge, so for 2022 we’re setting up a dedicated FOIL centre. The wings and boards will be all new for 2022 by leading brand Slingshot. You don’t need to be an advanced sailor to get up and going; WING Foiling allows anyone to make the most of lighter wind conditions and the more advanced can take full advantage of the might of the afternoon cross-shore.

Coaching
Our very own ‘Wing Commander’ Max Rowe will be running the centre; he’s been at the forefront of this craze for a number of years and is very excited to be heading up this latest Club Vass venture. The coaching programme will initially focus on learning wing control on a longer windsurf board in the morning onshore breeze before progressing out in the early afternoon cross-shore on a specialised foil board. Advanced lessons are also available if you’re looking to improve tacking and gybing or even to start jumping.
Booking
All WING foil coaching is bookable locally at Club Vass and, for experienced WING foilers, kit can be rented locally (subject to availability).
For 2022 the Club Vass UK Pack will include the option to pre-book WING foiling for the week in place of windsurfing (or in addition, as a supplement). Please note this option does not include coaching and is only available for a maximum of 6 people per week and for those who are already competent on a WING foil board in the lighter cross-shore.
Clinic
We’re running two beginners’ WING foil 1-week clinics with Max, w/c June 12th and w/c 18th September. This week will be fully dedicated to learning to WING foil with a max of 10 people.
