Welcome to the exciting world of wing foiling on Koh Phangan! Wing foiling is an exciting water sport that combines elements of windsurfing, kiteboarding, and surfing. In wing foiling, the rider stands on a hydrofoil board, which has a hydrofoil (a wing-like structure) underneath the surface. This hydrofoil creates lift, allowing the board to rise above the water as speed increases, providing a smooth, gliding sensation. And Koh Phangan is the perfect place to give it a try!
