Covenham Sailing Club

Learn to wingfoil at Covenham 

​

With almost one square kilometre of flat water and excellent facilities, Covenham reservoir is an ideal place to learn this exciting watersport.

​

We now offer wingfoil instructing at Covenham Sailing Club, using the latest beginner-friendly equipment from Starboard, and with an RYA-qualified instructor. Instruction starts from basic wing handling and continues to sustained foiling flights and beyond. ​

​

Training will initially be 1:2 and our goal is to pair people who have similar experience. Sessions will be on either Wednesday or Thursday evenings, Saturdays, or Sundays.

 

Typically, you'll need a 'wingsurfing' session on a non-foiling board (to get used to handling the wing) before progressing to a foiling session.

 

If you would like to start or progress your wingfoil journey at Covenham, please get in touch, telling us your watersports experience on a scale of 1 to 3:

​​

1. Complete beginner

2. Some relevant experience, e.g., paddleboarding, sailing, windsurfing (please specify)

3. Beginner wingfoiler wanting to progress

 

Because wingsurfing and wingfoiling need at least 10-12 knots of wind to make the sessions worthwhile, it's not practical to publish a training schedule. Instead, we run a waiting list that works on a ‘first come, first served’ basis. We’ll text and email you when we have a session available with the right weather conditions.

​

Cost is £85 per person for 2-3 hours* (£45pp for CSC members**) and includes equipment, wetsuit, buoyancy aid and helmet hire.
