Wingsisters Norway is a group dedicated to promoting and supporting women's participation in wingfoiling, a growing water sport that combines elements from surfing and sailing. The group's aim is to lower the entry threshold and encourage more women to explore this exciting sport.
What is Wingfoiling?
Wingfoiling is a relatively new sport where athletes stand on a board equipped with a hydrofoil and hold an inflatable wing. The wing is used to catch the wind, which lifts the board up from the water and gives a sensation of floating. The sport requires balance, strength and technique, but is also incredibly rewarding and fun.
The goal of Wingsisters Norway
Wingsisters Norway was established with a clear goal in mind: to create a supportive and encouraging environment where women can learn, develop and share their passion for wingfoiling. They want to offer a community where women feel welcome regardless of skill level, and where there are plenty of opportunities for both beginners and experienced wingfoilers.
Activities and events
Wingsisters Norway organizes a number of activities designed to promote growth and community. This includes:
- Introductory course : For those who are new to the sport and want to learn basic skills in a safe and supportive way.
- Meetings and social gatherings : These events give members a chance to meet, share experiences and practice together.
- Workshops and seminars : Focused on everything from technique improvements to safety in the water.
Growth and future
Wingsisters Norway has grown rapidly since its inception and continues to attract new members. With increasing interest in water sports globally, the group is well positioned to be a leading force in promoting women's participation in wingfoiling not only in Norway, but also internationally.
The importance of community
By creating a low-threshold offer and an inclusive atmosphere, Wingsisters Norway contributes to breaking down the social and physical barriers that can prevent women from participating in water sports.
