Wing Foil Board Bags

A Wing Foil Board Bag is a specially shaped protective cover for the wing board. Since wing foil boards are significantly thicker, wider, and shorter than surfboards or windsurfboards, these bags have a specific, compact cut with plenty of volume to optimally enclose the board.

Design and Functionality

• Thick padding: The bag usually consists of 5 to 10 mm thick foam padding, surrounded by a tear-resistant outer material (e.g., 600D polyester). It protects the board from impacts and scratches when transported in a car, on a roof rack, or during air travel.
• Foil slot (mast opening): A key feature is an integrated Velcro or zipper slot at the bottom of the bag. This allows the board to be packed while the foil mast remains attached for quick transport to the beach.

Features and characteristics

• Reflective underside: Many bags have a silver, heat-reflective foil (tarpaulin) on the underside. It prevents the board from overheating in the direct sun, which could lead to delamination (separation of the outer skin).
• Ventilation systems: Integrated mesh inserts or ventilation grommets allow residual moisture to escape and prevent mold or a sticky environment from forming inside.
• Additional accessory compartment: Smaller inner pockets provide space for tools, screws, fins, or the board leash, so everything is stored in one place.

 

Foil Bags

A Foil Bag (often referred to as a Foil Case or Foil Cover Set) is a custom-made bag or trunk organizer for the individual components of the hydrofoil. Since a foil consists of bulky, sharp-edged, and often expensive individual parts, this system ensures organization and maximum protection.

Design and Functionality

• The modular bag concept: High-quality foil bags are designed like a padded case. They offer separate, custom-fit compartments for the mast, fuselage, large front wing, and rear wing.
• Component protection (Covers): Alternatively, there are individual protective covers made of neoprene or thick padding that are pulled directly over the assembled wings. They protect the sensitive carbon edges while the foil remains completely assembled.

Features and characteristics

• Secure fastening: Inside the case are Velcro straps or mesh pockets that prevent the hard metal or carbon parts from rubbing against each other and getting scratched during transport.
• Screw and tool organizer: An integrated compartment for a Torx or Allen key, as well as separate compartments for the different screw lengths and shims, comes as standard to avoid long searches at the beach.
• Saltwater-resistant zippers: Since the bags are constantly in contact with damp material, extra-large plastic zippers are used that do not oxidize or jam due to salt.
