Has anyone else ever experienced a sore back form Wing Foiling, or is it just me - a beginner that needs to learn the correct technique, I would really appreciate it if anyone has any tips or suggestions please, I was in 10 to 20 knots wind gust yesterday and it wore me out:-(

Yeah, I definitely felt sore in my first couple of goes. I'm 10 sessions into it now and can get up and ride comfortably so I have started wearing a Forward Wip harness belt with an Ozone harness line. It's made a big difference to my longevity on the water. I try not to stay hooked in all the time as I took this sport up for strength and fitness reasons as well as fun. But when the ache starts up, it's nice to be able to give the arms a rest.

Yup, been there too. Muscles will develop over time, but as mentioned by others, a strong core is key. So focus on that in training. Otherwise you might end up hurting your back more seriously down the line..

Yes everyone guys, I forgot to engage my core which I new I should have but didn't (to busy fighting against the wind trying not being blown out to sea:-)

Stand up straight, feet shoulders apart, engage core. F the wind, don't get F'ed by it!

I'm currently nursing a pretty messed up
back And hip strain from winging on right side (I'm natural stance so back foot). . That coupled with a prone session that kicked it over.

you should wear googles that might help
