Wing foiling

Wing foiling or wing surfing or winging is a water sport similar to kitesurfing, windsurfing and surfing.[1] The sailor, standing on a board, holds directly onto a wing. The wind acting on the wing moves the board across the water.[2] Hydrofoil fins under the board allow the boards to lift out of the water and fly silently and smoothly above the water surface.
