today we're going to sail my little mini yacht cruiser to the Isle Of Wight to a
place called Priory Bay it's going to take us about hour and a half to sail over there
you're going to see just how easy and accessible
wing suping is for everybody and Dave's gonna have a go as well so should be a fun day lets go
first time
there she goes
so i've just spotted alex thompson's boat over there chuck the drone up go check it out
we've just arrived at Priory Bay on the Isle Of Wight this is a really cool beach that you can
only access from the water took about an hour and a half by the time we got the anchor down
um yeah now i'm going to show you why i think paddle board winging is so accessible in places
like this first of all we're in the lee of the island whenever you're on a boat you always park
you know in in the protected area and there's only probably five to ten knots of wind but
loads of wind for the sup and the wing so luckily i've got a pump
if you're on a super yacht and you've got loads of sups then why not have a wing anyway you know and
you've even got a rescue boat to go fetch you once you drift off it's a little bit cramped on this
boat but you get the idea right so now i've got the sup pumped up i'm gonna add the center fin um
watch my video here about how i stuck this center fin on but you basically need one of these to
enable you to go upwind without this you're just going to disappear off downwind like that and
we're ready to go but honestly it's super easy anyone can do it that's what i'm trying to say
it's not the most extreme thing in the world but it's just so easy that is the whole point
of it is the easiest most accessible way i think people can experience wind power
which is really cool um yeah if you've never flown a kite or windsurfed or sailed
just hop on and have a go now it's your turn dave god damn it we'll put the kettle on mate so
amazing do a couple of loops and come back sounds good so you want to flip
flip the wing over lever it over not that way yeah like which way like that way yeah
uh it was difficult um but you know it was a lot of fun for sure enjoyed it i'm sure
i'll get the hang of it at some point but uh but yeah just um struggled a little bit with sort of
like keeping it up but yeah i mean you were going along i think the tricky thing at the
start is manipulating the wing yeah um and just figuring out how to flip it and things like that
but you could you got the hang of it yeah that was a good laugh it's pretty leisurely isn't it
that's it yeah it's like you can have a bit of a laugh go for a swim definitely get picked up
okay thanks for the taxi ride that's why it's perfect for a boat if you have a tender you can
just ferry people about drop them up drop them off upwind make it really easy people just have a go
so after a successful sup wing time to sail home
