Frequently Asked Questions

What is wing foiling?

Wing foiling is a water sport where a rider stands on a hydrofoil board while holding a handheld inflatable wing. The wing generates power from the wind, lifting the rider onto the foil for a fast, smooth, and low-drag ride. It is easier to learn than windsurfing or kitesurfing and works in a wide range of wind conditions.

What gear do I need to start wing foiling?

To start wing foiling, you need four core items:

If you want a ready-to-ride setup, consider Complete Wing Foil Packages that bundle a professionally matched board, foil, and wing.

What is included in a complete wing foil (foil setup)?

A complete foil setup typically includes the front wing, stabilizer, mast, and fuselage. This is the core of your setup—your foil creates lift and makes wing foiling possible. Shop Complete Foils.

What wing foil board and leash do I need?

Choose a foil board sized for your skill level, then add a board leash to keep it attached during falls. Beginners generally benefit from more volume for stability.

What wing and leash do I need?

You’ll need an inflatable wing and a wing leash (wrist or waist) to prevent it from blowing away when you fall.

Do I need a wing pump?

Yes. A pump with the correct nozzle is required to inflate your wing before every session.

What size wing do I need for wing foiling?

For most beginners, the standard size is between 4.0m and 5.0m. Riders under 150 lbs (68kg) often start with a 4.0m–4.5m, while riders over 150 lbs usually choose a 5.0m–6.0m. If you live in a light-wind area, size up; for strong-wind locations, size down.

How do I choose the right wing foil board?

Beginners should choose a board with volume equal to their Body Weight (kg) + 40 Liters for stability. For example, an 80kg rider needs a 120L board. You can choose Hard Boards for performance or Inflatable Boards for durability and travel convenience.

Which hydrofoil should I choose for wing foiling?

Beginners benefit from large, Low Aspect foils for easy lift and stability. Surf riders choose Medium Aspect for carving. Speed and freestyle riders use High Aspect foils for maximum glide. A mast height of 75–85cm is the most versatile choice for all conditions.

Do I need a harness for wing foiling?

A harness is optional for beginners but highly recommended for longer sessions or high-wind riding. It reduces arm fatigue and improves upwind angles. Most intermediate riders use a lightweight waist harness with a sliding hook.

What safety gear do I need?

Essential safety gear includes a board leash, a wing leash, an impact vest or PFD, and a helmet. Depending on water temperature, a wetsuit is also recommended.

Is wing foiling hard to learn?

Wing foiling is considered one of the easiest windsports to learn. Most beginners learn to handle the wing on land quickly, then progress to taxiing on the board. With a stable board and a large foil, many riders achieve their first flights within their first few sessions.

How much wind do I need?

Most riders enjoy wing foiling in 12–25 knots. With modern gear, large wings and high-efficiency foils allow riding in light winds (8–12 knots), while small wings handle strong winds (25+ knots) with ease.

Should beginners start with a wing foil package?

Yes. Wing Foil Packages are a great way to start because the components (wing, board, and foil) are expertly matched for stability and compatibility, taking the guesswork out of building your first setup.
