Winging, wing foil, wingy dingy, wingding, hand kite,.. The sport is so new everybody calls it in a different way. What is common to everybody that practices it is the happy face. We love it. People get really hooked to the sensation of lying on a board while you hold the wing that powers you in your hands.
The truth is that it is a very convenient sport because you can practice with lower winds than wind surfing. You don´t need all amount of the equipment to carry. It´s also easier to take in and out of the water. Goes fast, you can surf, you can jump, do maneuvers, tacks, it goes upwind really well.. We are finding lots of windsurfers adding it to their quiver to enjoy lighter days.
Also, lots of kite surfers are trying it for those offshore day, or to get more freedom to start doing downwinders..
It is not a substitute but rather a really fun complement to enjoy the Ocean (or the lakes) under more situations and conditions.
