Foiling

Foiling pathway

We recognise that Foiling is here to stay and sailors should have the opportunity to learn from a young age. We have developed a junior & youth Foiling pathway programme aimed at young sailors to teach them skills to sail and race foiling boats. Sailors get a fantastic opportunity to learn on boats specifically designed for youngsters as well as the more established foiling classes.

Youth Foiling

Using expert foiling coaches, the Youth (15-19) foiling pathway develops skills within this exciting new discipline. The programme of 5 weekends is designed for sailors competing in youth classes to complement class specific training, creating adaptive and well-rounded sailors.

The pathway involves foiling techniques, technical setup aspects, manoeuvres and racing in appropriate foiling specific boats including the Skeeta and Waszp.

Junior Foiling

The Junior (10-15) foiling pathway uses expert foiling coaches to develop skills within this exciting new discipline. The programme of 5 weekends is designed for sailors competing in juniors’ classes to complement class specific training, creating adaptive and well-rounded sailors.

The pathway involves learning foiling techniques, technical setup aspects, manoeuvres and racing in the junior specific foiling boat, the Nikki.

WindFoiling

Our WindFoiling Pathway Programme uses skilled windfoiling coaches to learn and develop techniques within this exciting new discipline of the sport. The programme of weekends designed for junior and youth windsurfers will cover everything from foiling techniques, foiling gybes, and foil setup.

Our weekly Performance Windsurf Club, based in Portsmouth, is a clinic style club for advanced Techno or foiling windsurfers.
