Foiling Clinic

Have you tried foiling (windfoil, wingfoil, or Waszp) but would like to learn a pathway to further progress your skills? This clinic is for you. Foiling & Competitive Development coach Jonathan de Vries will provide guidance for participants. A mix of Locarno and weCANfoil equipment will be used. 

There are two possible days for this clinic. You can register for just Day 1, just Day 2, or both. Cost of registration is to cover the coach boat costs.
