Whatever you call them — and we've heard everything — wings are where wing foiling starts. The right one depends on how and where you ride: stable and forgiving for your first sessions, efficient and light for cruising in marginal wind, responsive and direct for wave riding, or high-performance for riders pushing the limits of what's possible on a foil. We've spent real time on the gear we carry, so the recommendations here come from actual experience on the water. Find the wing that fits your riding, and go from there.

Winging FAQs
There's a number of reasons why winging and wing foiling is the hot topic. Unlike specialized sports, winging can be practiced in a wide range of conditions. It's also a versatile option that fits many riders thanks to its short learning curve and adaptability. You want to foil? Go ahead. How about just cruise on a SUP? That works too.
Generally speaking, here's what you'll need to get started wing foiling:
- Wing & Wing Leash: This one's pretty obvious. Still, it's important to note that not all brands have leashes included with their wings. Make sure you check the product details or ask our staff!
- Pump & Adapter: Double check that your adapter works on your pump hose and wing. Like leashes, some brands include adaptors while others don't. If you don't have a universal pump with multiple adaptors, it's best to double check your fit before you head to the beach.
- Board & Board Leash: A leash is a pretty cruicial component to this setup. A calf or waist leash works best, but an ankle leash can be a handy substitute if you're in a pinch.
- Foil & Hardware: Make sure your board-to-foil connection hardware is compatible before you head to your riding spot.

We recommend starting with a medium-sized wing (think around 5 or 5.5m for an 180 lbs. rider). You'll have better power for maximum learning potential. From there, we'd recommend moving onto buying a wing for lighter winds (like a 7m or 8m) after you've developed some skills. Finally, go ahead and buy that high-wind wing — depending on your weight, this could be 4m or smaller. While this is our general recommendation, we also understand that conditions play into capabilities. If you're in a place where it's flat water and high winds, you might jump from a medium-sized wing to a smaller one. Or, on the flip side, if you ride in lighter conditions, you will likely want to start with as big of a wing as possible.
