About Winging at Viking Bay

Viking Bay is a scenic and sheltered Kent destination for wing foiling and windsurfing, providing wingers with organized North Sea swell and iconic Broadstairs views. For wing foilers, the bay provides a safe 'amphitheatre' to practice in, with the surrounding cliffs and pier helping to organize the North Sea chop. It is a fantastic spot for intermediate progression, as the water stays relatively manageable even when the open coast is lumpy. The community is very active and social. Use our real-time Viking Bay winging forecast to find the perfect high-tide launch window.
