Sizing Down - Board or Foil First?
As you spend more time on the water progressing, you’ll want to jump down in board and foil size to increase performance.The question for most people is ‘which should I size down first? The board or the foil?’ I always recommend taking this process one step at a time. Changing up both the foil and the board can be a challenge if you aren’t a very comfortable foiler.
