Wings

A Foil Wing (also briefly called a Wing) is an inflatable, hand-held wing used in wing foiling to convert wind power into forward thrust. Unlike a parafoil, it is not flown from lines, but is held by the rider directly in the hands via fixed loops (handles) or a fixed bar (boom) while gliding over the water on a board with a hydrofoil.

Design and operation

• Material & design: The wing has a rigid skeleton made of inflatable air chambers, consisting of the front tube (leading edge) and a center strut. The sail material between them catches the wind.
• Control: The wing's orientation relative to the wind controls its speed and direction. Since the wing is held directly in the hands, the pressure can be adjusted extremely quickly – simply release one hand to immediately depower the wing.

Features and characteristics

• Easy to learn: Handling on land and in the water is quick to learn, as there is no risk of a line tangle.
• High safety: If you let go of the wing in a gust, it will float depowered at the end of a safety leash attached to your wrist.
• Wide range of applications: Enables excellent upwind riding (crossing the wind) and works in almost all wind conditions.
• Quick water start: After falling, the wing lies flat on the water and can be lifted back up immediately.

Target audience

The classic foil wing is the ideal all-purpose sport equipment for everyone. It is perfect for beginners who want to learn foiling, as well as for advanced riders who want to cruise in the waves, perform freestyle tricks, or cover long distances on lakes and the sea.
