Hello!
I'm a beginner on wind sports and I ordered my wing some time ago. After a very bad xperience on the water and no progress, somebody told me to practice on a longboard before get into the sea.
I must admit it helped to me a lot to understand winds, direction and how to glide correctly. The problem is that its very easy to destroy the wing sanding it on the road. My wing is the biggest one. I dont know how to exactly protect the wing. Maybe anyone of you has a brilliant idea using some kind of cloth, pastic, bag... ?
Any idea? Thanks!

Re: Protect wing when skating
I guess you should re-try on the water, but with the biggest board you can find
Or use a board with big wheels and practice on grass.
Or use a very small wing (3m ?) for land use. or build yourself a disposable one with some wood and cloth, something like a SK8: https://kitewing.com/sk8/

Hello,
you can use a very strong tape.
It is always at the beginning that you damage your wing. Always. After few sessions, you don't break it.

Pour les sessions sur bitume, ce serait cool d'avoir des scratch pour une mettre un tissu de protection du BA sur les oreilles!?
