Frequently asked questions when buying a Wing Foil Sail:
How do I choose the right wing foil sail size?
Choosing the right sail size depends on several factors. First, the correct sail size depends on your weight. Additionally, it is important to consider how many sails you ultimately want to have (or already have), so you can choose an appropriate size for that. Your wing foil level and your favorite riding style are also important. Here is a reference guide to choosing the right sail size based on wind strength:
- 3m² – 20-45 knots
- 4m² – 14-30 knots
- 5m² – 10-25 knots
- 6m² – 8-18 knots
- 7m² – 5-14 knots
For a beginner, we recommend choosing a size between 4 and 5 square meters. These sizes are ideal for learning in winds of 14-25 knots and offer excellent maneuverability.
How do I decide between 4m² or 5m²?
The choice between a 4m² or 5m² wing will mainly depend on your weight and height. If you weigh more than 70 kg, we recommend starting with a 5m² wing, while if you weigh less than 70 kg, you can start with a 4m² wing. Remember that, just like with other water sports, the size of your wing will depend on the wind strength. The stronger the wind, the smaller your sail should be, while lighter winds will require a larger wing.
Parts of a Wing Foil
- Leading edgeA larger diameter at the leading edge will allow you to sail with lighter winds.
- Central ribProvides the essential shape and stiffness to pump and generate power with light winds.
- WindowsThey provide visibility in high-traffic areas and eliminate blind spots, increasing safety.
- Grip handlesThey are essential for wing foil control. The smaller models (4 meters and less) have one front handle and two rear handles. The larger sizes (from 5 meters) offer two front handles and two rear handles for greater control in different wind conditions.
Types of grips in Wings (Kites)
You will find two main ways to secure the wing: soft handles along the central rib or a hard bar (boom) that attaches to the central rib. Each option has its pros and cons, so choose the one that feels most comfortable for you.
In conclusion, choosing the right size for your wing foil is essential to enjoy an optimal learning experience. Remember to consider your weight, height, and wind strength to make the best decision.
