WOMEN’S WING FOIL CLINICS
July 11th & July 25th
Whether you’re stepping on a board for the first time or looking to sharpen your skills, our Women’s Wing Clinic is designed for you. Spend a full day on the Columbia River in a supportive, all-women environment — learning, laughing, and discovering just how good it feels to fly above the water.
Led by experienced Big Winds instructors, the clinic runs from 10AM to 4PM with a catered lunch break from 12:30–1:30PM. All gear is provided, though you’re welcome to bring your own if you have it.
Spots are limited — reserve yours below and get ready for a day you won’t forget.
What Will Be Covered?
Our Women’s Wing Clinics are fully student-focused — meaning the experience and goals of your group shape the day. The more detail you share about your goals at booking, the better prepared our instructors will be to help you progress.
