Wing Foiling in Door County

Lars Topelmann was one of the first people to windsurf in Eagle Harbor when he was 16 years old. Now 57, he’s the first person in the same harbor to try the latest water sport: wing foiling.
The “wing” part of wing foiling refers to the hand-held wing. The design is particularly inspired by the Wind Weapon, a hand-held sail that offers more aerodynamic control for windsurfing. A handwing in wing foiling is essentially an alternative to a sail, kite or parasail wing. It has an inflatable structure designed to mimic a kite, and unlike a sail, it’s symmetrical. There’s no mast or connection to the board.
Finally, wing foiling entails attaching a foil to a shorter and thicker version of a paddleboard, resulting in a foilboard that cuts through the water in a way that doesn’t create wave action or leave foam behind like a surfboard does. The foil, rather than the board, is what floats on the water, elevating the surfer a foot or more above the water.
