Winging and wing foiling are exciting new watersports.  As a modern twist on sailboarding (also commonly called windsurfing),  we think of a wing as being a windsurfing sail built with kiteboarding technology.  The wing is inflated--there is no need for a carbon fiber mast or aluminum boom.  The hand-held wing holds its shape because it is inflated to a pressure that keeps it rigid. 

Because the wing just uses air to maintain its shape, it is much lighter than a windsurfing sail.  The wing floats in your hands.  It is safer than windsurfing because there is no mast to crush you against the board.

With winging, you can use a stand-up paddle board and cruise along the water surface.  With wing foiling, you can rise up on the hydrofoil for a fast smooth drag-free ride.  When wingfoiling on waves, you can depower the wing and just hold it behind you until you need the power again.
