BALANCE
WING

A LITTLE LIFT. A LOT OF FREEDOM.

Fly over
Derbyhaven.

A board, a wing and a sheltered Manx bay. Balance your weight, build speed and rise onto the foil.

Mouse = balance · WASD = wing · Space = pump

Your mouse is your weight.

Click the scene to capture your mouse. Move left or right to lean and bank; move forward to lower the nose, back to lift it. Small movements work best. If mouse capture is unavailable, drag the scene instead.

Your keys are your wing.

W sheets in, S eases out. A / D rotate the wing and help you turn. Tap or hold Space to pump. C centres your weight and wing. Escape / P pauses. On a phone, use the Balance and Wing pads.

A real bay, reimagined.

The bay is built from satellite imagery, elevation data and OpenStreetMap outlines, with hand-modelled landmarks: the Derbyhaven terrace and the old hotel, the breakwater and its light, Derby Fort and St Michael’s Chapel, the causeway, the Golf Links Hotel, the Herring Tower, Langness Lighthouse and Ronaldsway. The coastline comes from the site’s geographic data. Buildings, heights and obstacle footprints are simplified. Wind is a chosen game condition; this is not a marine chart or training simulator.
