LEARN / TOW / SURF
The WF-T V1 is our all-new entry-level foil board for those looking to take flight for the first time. The WF-T V1 is compression molded, which increases the overall durability and decreases buoyancy so riders don’t have to fight against the float of the board when starting out. The 4’5” length of the WF-T V1 combines with the perfect amount of nose rocker to allow the board to takeoff and touchdown repeatedly without nosediving—so beginners can master their body position and find a constant hover without falling and having to start over. The construction style and strength of the WF-T V1 also make it a great option for foilers looking to jump and do wake-style tricks.
WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT
You’ll love the WF-T V1 because it’s durable, user friendly and allows you to learn and progress quickly.
TECH FEATURES
1. Inline Footstrap Inserts
Simple inline inserts allow for the addition of half straps or full footstraps based on rider preference.
2. Corduroy EVA
Super-soft EVA features a corduroy texture that provides tons of grip (and is as pleasing to your feet as it is to the eye).
3. Compression-Molded Construction
Much like a traditional foam wakeboard, this construction style is stronger and less buoyant than surf-style constructions.
4. Nose Rocker
When learning to foil you will experience quick rises—and even quicker crashes. The nose rocker on the WF-T V1 will help absorb that impact and direct you back onto foil.

Wft foil board
Got this as my first foil board to learn behind a boat and progress into kite foiling. From that perspective I think the size is good however would like a little more up curve in the nose of the board to prevent submarine-ing the nose and help on those board slaps when you breach the foil. Its also worth mentioning that the board comes with a half strap as the description was unclear. On that if you have high arches or otherwise tall feet, the half strap doesn’t really feel snug or fit comfortably. It’s still provides enough grip but it doesn’t feel secure and foot doesn’t slide in as it should. I’ve bent mine up a bit and seems to cover that issue. My last point on this board is the foam decking is not durable. When body dragging with the board after a few sessions the kite lines have left imprints and shallow cuts on the decking material so I don’t expect the decking to last more than a couple seasons. Otherwise the board is great and looks cool.
