Have you ever heard of wing foil or wing surfing? If you love kitesurfing or love taming the elements of water and wind, this is the sport for you.
Wing foil, also called wing surfing, is a water sport practiced in various locations around Italy and in particular in the windiest ones, such as those on Lake Garda.
The peculiarity of this discipline lies precisely in the incredible freedom of movement compared to windsurfing, which allows the rider to experience a feeling like never before. Thanks to the foil and unhooked wing, you will feel like you’re flying.
