Expert advice
All wing models listed on this page are designed to help beginner wingfoilers progress.
SIZE
Wing size is determined by rider weight and wind speed. For beginners, we target moderate wind conditions (15 to 22 knots). Here are the recommended sizes by weight:
130 lbs and under: 4 or 4.5 m²
130 to 165 lbs: 5 m²
165 to 200 lbs: 5 to 6 m²
200 lbs and over: 6 m² and over
A larger wing gives more power in lighter winds, but is harder to handle. If you're unsure between two sizes, go with the larger one.
One of the biggest challenges is power generation — learning to harness the wind's power and transfer it into speed to eventually generate lift with the hydrofoil.
If you're not sure about your choice, don't hesitate to contact us via chat or call us at 450-671-5650.
Board size
For wingfoiling, the ideal beginner board is generally larger than you think:
130 lbs and under: 80–100 liters
130 to 165 lbs: 100–120 liters
165 to 200 lbs: 110–130 liters
200 lbs and over: 120+ liters
More volume = more flotation = easier to take off on the foil. Avoid boards that are too small when learning — they will significantly lengthen your learning curve.
Choosing your foil
For beginners, you want a foil that is stable, slow and forgiving. Key criteria:
Front wing surface area: 1500 cm² and up for beginners (larger = more stable with more lift at low speed).
Mast length: To maximize ease of learning, choose a mast between 60cm and 75cm. If you prefer a mast that will remain comfortable as your wingfoil level advances, you can choose a slightly longer one. 85cm is the maximum we recommend for learning.
Fuselage: For maximum longitudinal stability, aim for 70cm or more. It is possible to go down to around 65cm for certain models, but we don't recommend going shorter when learning.
Entry-level foils from brands like Duotone, Axis, North, KT, or Slingshot are excellent choices for progressing quickly and safely!
