Learn to Fly with Qatar's 1st Wingsurf Academy!

Wingsurfing, Windgliding, Wingding, Wingsports or what ever you want to call it is a cross between kiteboarding, windsurfing, surfing and paddleboarding.

Combine a Handheld Wing with a specialise designed Stand Up Paddleboard and you get an incredibly rewarding new sport. By the end of the 2 hours you will have grasped the fundamentals of wing flying/ angle and power pump, and propelling yourself through the water using the power of the wind whilst on a wingSUP. 

If you’re new to Windsports, Wingsurfing is easier, safer and more user-friendly than any of its predecessors, and if you’re an experienced wind junkie, it’s a fun and simplistic style of riding you’ll enjoy instantly. The Wingsurfer is a light weight inflatable wing that has a rigid frame when pumped up and can be packed in a small bag when deflated. 

No harness, control bar, lines, mast, boom or battens needed. It’s designed to be used with a foil or paddle board with enough volume for the rider to stand on and can also be used with snow sports or skating.
