Wing foil spot in Dakar – Lac Rose

Dakar - Lac Rose is an inland body of water in Dakar (Région de Dakar, Senegal). No swell and no tide: the water is usually flat, great for learning to wing foil, practising transitions, pump foiling or foil drive. On a lake the wind is often gustier than at sea (terrain, thermals): watch the gusts as much as the average speed.
