The Benefits of a Learning with a Wingfoiling Set

18. September 2024

If you're new to wingfoiling and feeling overwhelmed about where to start, investing in a ready-to-ride wingfoiling set can be a game-changer. It simplifies the process and removes the stress and worry of having to 'put together' a workable foiling solution for your needs. This leaves you with more time and energy to focus on the fun part of learning to wingfoil, making the whole experience more enjoyable and less daunting. IMPORTANTLY IT REPRESENTS EXTREMELY GOOD VALUE FOR MONEY!

With autumn's warm winds and water, now is the ideal time to invest and learn!

Critically, you must be realistic regarding:

  • Your pre-existing skill sets from other water sports activities.
  • This will determine your confidence to learn in higher winds.
  • It will also determine your willingness to begin with a smaller volume board and smaller-sized foil.
  • Consider the predominant wind and water conditions local to where you live.
  • Consider a larger wing 5m and above if you live where winds are low strength (Sub 15knots)
  • Consider your body mass - the heavier you are, the higher the volume board you need.
