Surf Wings

Still not sure? We’ve done a blog post of the various F-one wings, and which should suit you. Otherwise give us a call or pop into the store to have a chat.

Some Wing Foiling Tips

As a beginner, you should focus on learning to steer the surf wing, so it can be helpful to start on land and get used to how the wing moves.

Find time to understand how the wing works and how to power up and depower the surf wing.

Once you’re out and moving slowly across the water, you’ll begin to focus on getting up on the foil.

As a beginner, you’ll most likely want to start with just one surf wing.

It is easier to get started with more power than less, and therefore, you’ll want to go out in stronger winds and on a bigger wing.

Surf Wing sizes range from 2.8 to 9 meters.

As a general rule of thumb, a good starting wing is a 4m wing for anyone up to 70 kg and a five-meter wing for anyone over that weight.

Finally, consider your leash attachment and how you’ll maintain a connection to your surf wing.

Leashes are usually attached either on your wrist – usually attached to your front/leading hand – or to your waist.

Each version has its pros and cons, so choose what feels the best for you.
