Beginner Wingfoil Gear: What to Buy to Learn Wingfoiling | Hydrofoil Academy |

[@Bigd0gg]

Excellent synopsis on wing foil gear sizing and beginner expectations- thanks!

[@hydrofoilacademy]

Thanks mate, appreciate it.

[@maxmax3288]

Very qualitative and by far the most instructive I found on YT among the mass uploads ! good job guys

[@hydrofoilacademy]

Wow, thanks!

Thank you for this video! I have a question for you: I kiteboard, surf, and wakeboard, but I've yet to wing, and my wife is a complete novice/beginner (no watersport experience). I'm trying to figure out a setup that will work for both of us to learn on. I know it's not ideal, but I'm trying to save some money. I'm 6'0 190lbs (86kg) and she is 5'4" 120lbs (55kg)... This is the setup I have in mind: Board 90L, Foil 72-75, Front wing 1850, wing 5.0... Conditions at our spot are deep water and wind 10-20 knots. Thank you in advance

[@hydrofoilacademy]

I think that gear sounds great apart from the board. At 86kg I would recommend going much more than 90. I’d say between 120-100L would work better.

[@cacawachi]

frequently people that talks about gear, forgets include the wind velocity in the combo. Excellent.

Thanks mate

[@MsPeppevic]

[@hydrofoilacademy]

Where to buy

[@hydrofoilacademy]

The Hydrofoil Shop/Hydrofoil Academy 👍

[@martinomovies]

6 foot tall 200 pound man should start with a 6 or 6.5m.

[@hydrofoilacademy]

My advice would be a 6m.

[@obiahman]

Yet here you are 9 months later and not even selling f-one brand items anymore?

[@hydrofoilacademy]

Yes, unfortunately we parted ways with F-One. That doesn’t take away from the fact that the gear is still good and suitable for beginners
