What equipment is needed to wing foil?

Wing foil equipment refers to the gear used for wing foiling, which is a relatively new water sport that combines elements of windsurfing, kiteboarding, and stand-up paddleboarding.

Wing foiling involves riding a small hydrofoil board while holding onto a handheld inflatable wing that is used to catch the wind and propel the rider forward.

The main components of wing foil equipment typically include:

Wing Foil Hydrofoil Board

This is a specialized type of board that features a hydrofoil attached to the underside.

The hydrofoil is designed to lift the board out of the water as the rider gains speed, allowing them to “fly” above the water’s surface.

Hydrofoil boards are typically made of lightweight materials such as foam, wood, or carbon fiber, and they come in various shapes and sizes to suit different riding styles and conditions.

Wing Foil Equipment: Wing

The wing is the key element of wing foiling, as it is used to catch the wind and propel the rider forward.

It is typically made of durable, inflatable material and is held by the rider using a handle in the center and/or on the struts.

The wing is controlled by the rider’s body movements, allowing them to steer, accelerate, and decelerate.

Wing Foil Mast and Fuselage

The mast is a vertical strut that connects the hydrofoil to the board, while the fuselage is a horizontal strut that connects the mast to the foil wings.

The mast and fuselage are usually made of lightweight materials such as aluminum, carbon fiber, or titanium, and they come in different lengths and shapes to provide stability and maneuverability to the hydrofoil.

Wing Foil Foil Wings (or front and back wing)

The foil wings are the aerodynamic components that generate lift and allow the rider to “fly” above the water’s surface.

They are typically made of lightweight materials such as carbon fiber or fiberglass and come in various shapes and sizes, which affect the performance and stability of the hydrofoil.

Wing Foil Leash

A leash is used to attach the rider to the wing, board, and/or foil to prevent them from losing their gear in case of a fall or wipeout.

Leashes can be coiled or straight, and they are usually worn on the rider’s wrist, ankle, or harness.

Wing Foil Protective Gear

As with any water sport, wing foiling requires appropriate safety gear, including a wetsuit or drysuit for insulation, a helmet for head protection.

As well as possibly impact vests, gloves, and booties for additional safety.
