Junior Wing Training

The Wing Progression Sessions were established in 2026 with the aim of systematically advancing the most promising wingfoiling juniors across Western Australia. Initiated by Kite & Wing WA, the State Sporting Association for kiteboarding and wingfoiling, the program provides a structured, long-term athlete development pathway with a strong focus on freestyle performance. Beyond technical riding skills, participants are coached in the core attributes required for success in high-performance sport, including agility, coordination, and mental strength. The program is designed to develop capable watersport athletes and well-rounded young people who can thrive both on and off the water.

A unique feature of the pathway is the opportunity for the young wing groms to obtain their Junior Instructor Licence, with many of our participants achieving this qualification by the age of 14. This milestone further supports personal growth by fostering leadership, responsibility, communication skills, and community engagement. It also provides a valuable pathway into employment, enabling young athletes to gain meaningful work experience and earn income through the summer season while remaining actively involved in the sport.
