What is Wingfoiling?
Wingfoiling is a watersport where you stand on a board with a hydrofoil underneath, while propelling yourself using an inflatable wing that you hold in your hands. Once the foil generates lift, you glide above the water with minimal resistance. This results in speed, control and a unique surf experience.
What Do You Need to Wingfoil?
Wingfoil Board
The wingfoil board determines your stability and learning comfort. Beginners usually choose a board with extra volume for an easy start. Advanced riders prefer more compact boards with greater maneuverability. Wakestore is the wingfoil board specialist for anyone who wants to start wingfoiling.
Wing
The wing captures the wind and provides propulsion. Larger wings of 5 or 6 m² are ideal in light wind and for beginners, while smaller wings offer more control and speed in stronger wind.
Hydrofoil
The hydrofoil consists of a mast, fuselage, front wing and stabilizer. The size of the front wing determines how quickly you generate lift and how stable you ride. Beginners often choose a foil with lots of lift, while advanced riders go for speed and efficiency.
Buying a Wingfoil – Which Equipment Suits Your Level?
Wingfoil for Beginners
Are you just starting out with wingfoiling? Then choose a board with sufficient volume, a larger wing and a foil that lifts early. This makes getting up easier and significantly shortens the learning curve. Want to know more? Our team is happy to help you choose the right wingfoil setup.
Wingfoil for Dutch Conditions
In the Netherlands, riding often takes place in light to moderate wind. That’s why we often recommend a bit more volume in the board and a wing that delivers enough power in lighter wind.
