About Wingsurfing Course in Vieste
Wingsurfing is a sport developed recently similar to Windsurfing and a bit of Kitesurfing. It uses the propulsion of the Wing, an inflatable sail that is not attached to the board. The boards can be of any form, from sup to hydrofoil.
The difficulty depends on the experience that the student has with other watersports. The most similar sport is windsurfing, but kitesurfing and all board sports, especially hydrofoiling, can help to learn more quickly.
