What is Wing foiling?

Experience the sensation of "flight" on the water with wing foiling—the world's fastest-growing wind sport. At SA Kitesurf Adventures, we bring the thrill of this hybrid discipline (a fusion of windsurfing, kitesurfing, and surfing) to the pristine waters of Tampa Bay and St. Petersburg.

What is Wing Foiling?

Imagine gliding silently above the waves at speeds up to 30 mph. Hydrofoil technology allows you to "levitate" even in light winds (under 10 knots), providing a smooth ride that feels like skiing on fresh powder. With a simpler setup than kitesurfing and less physical strain than windsurfing, wing foiling is the ultimate way to harness the ocean’s energy.

Weather Forecast

Take a look at the weather forecast and determine what days you may be available to do a lesson. We typically need around 12kt+ gusts to have some fun, so look for higher wind periods in the week and book through our online booking system accordingly. If you're just visiting and there's no wind we can still learn to ride the hydrofoil behind the jet ski. If you're not sure how to read the forecast, just give us call and we'll be happy to help you book a day over the phone.
