Wingfoil

Getting started in wingfoil: board, foil and wing

To start wingfoiling you need three well-matched elements: a board, a foil and a wing. Well matched, they get you up to speed fast. Here's the essential.

1. The board — stability first

Aim for volume = your weight (kg) + 30 to 40 L to start (e.g. 80 kg → 110–120 L). Wide and stable. See the board guide →

2. The foil — lifty and forgiving

Choose large surface area, low aspect ratio and a shorter mast (75–85 cm): early lift, stable flight, easy pumping (GRAVITY / PHANTOM). See the foil guide →

3. The wing — the right size

Depending on weight and wind, usually 4 to 5.5 m², on a stable, balanced model (SWING). See the wing guide →

Our advice

Start stable and lifty: you'll progress much faster, then refine later. Mind the connection compatibility (mast / foil / board).
