How To Choose The Right Wing Foil Board

Choosing the right wing foil board  may be easier if you know the right steps to take. Generally, the types of board to choose depends on your experience, your size, your skills, the conditions as well as your ambitions.

 When it comes to choosing the right wing foil board for your needs, you will need to determine whether you are a total beginner, a foil-novice, a pre-foiler, or a wing-addict.  You are a total beginner if you have not been into Watersports before. You are a foil-novice if you are a windsurfer, a kiteboarder, a surfer or standup-paddler, but never been on a foil yet.  You are a pre-foiler if you have been foiling on a windsurfer, kiteboard, surfboard or SUP. And you are a wing-addict  if you have found your new passion and you are ready to enter the next level.

For each of the abovementioned groups, there is the right board and foil to buy, depending on your weight. If you are a total beginner, it would be a good idea to get a floaty and stable board. Try foiling separate from the wing. If you know someone with a boat or jetski,  you can try a session being pulled on a calm day with the right instructions. Just half an hour behind the boat can make all the difference of being hooked or giving up after trying with the wing straight away and failing.

If you are into water boardsports, you have a greater advantage over the total beginner. This is because you can read wind and waves and have an understanding for the balance on your board. Even if you are good at the sport you do, you will need to start at Kook-level with the wing. Even if you feel familiar with the wind and a boom in your hands, the foiling part is something that is completely new. But the learning curve will most likely be fairly quick with your experience in watersports, so it will be a good idea to get a slightly smaller and more advanced gear over the recommendation for the total beginner.

The electric surfboards are not meant to replace conventional surfboards. Instead, they aim to a broader market, including the boating and high-speed water sports industry.
