Snorkeling is the ideal activity for your vacation at the water’s edge. Whether with family or friends, you will share unforgettable moments while enjoying physical activity.
Wing Foiling is the new hype. A sport of riding a foil board – or a standard SUP – while carrying a hand-held inflatable sail.
Wing Foiling is not supposed to replace windsurfing, kiteboarding, and surfing. It is a complement, an addition, an alternative of wave riding and sailing.
Wing Foiling was not designed to ride faster or jump higher. That is not the point.
It is all about carving around, having fun, and bringing the wind element to watersport enthusiasts that have only experienced wave riding and have never sailed before.
We offer Wing foiling on S/Y Full Steam:
