This technology is lighter, more stable, and far easier to learn on than traditional windsurfing or foil boards. It is 70% lighter, no metal booms or rigging. Starts in winds as light as 4MPH.

Perfect for:

First‑timers - Families - Kids & teens - Anyone who wants to feel the wind without the intimidation of foiling

What to expect:

Calm, safe launch area at Fair Play Recreation Park - Step‑by‑step instruction - Stable, beginner‑friendly boards - Quick learning curve — most people are moving within minutes
