In wingsurfing the rider performs the function of the mast, altering the wing position to gain maximum power from the wind. This allows for up and downwind turns to be performed with complete freedom.
When travelling in a straight line, the rider will balance their weight against the force of the wind, achieving speeds approaching 50 mph in wind less than half that speed.
The attraction is the acceleration, speed and manoeuvrability, also huge jumps can be achieved as well as relaxed distance sailing across open spaces.
