WingFoiling / WingSurfing near Rye East Sussex
Rye Watersports is based on a large inland lake on the Kent and Sussex border near Camber Sands only one hour’s drive from London. It is a perfect location for anyone learning watersports or for more experienced sailors to hone their skills. The flat inland lake makes it a safe place to learn but because it is only a short distance from the sea benefits from sea breezes. We are an accredited BKSA RYA centre and have been teaching on the lake since 1986.
WingSurfing, WingFoiling, WingBoarding are just some of the names given to this exciting new water sport! It shares similarities to many others you might be familiar with from SUPing to Windsurfing to Kitesurfing. This thrilling sport opens up a whole new avenue of fun on the water. Unlike kitesurfing, with Winging there is no limit to where you can go, no lines, no harnesses just you, your wing and the board. Why not come down and try?
Winging is also loved by many due to how fast the progression is from ‘Learning to WingSurf‘, ‘Learning to WingFoil‘ to then taking your first flight is only a weekend course away!
