When I first saw videos of foiling with a wing I knew that I wanted to give it a try.  I also knew that I needed to learn to foil first and the easiest way for me was to learn on a windsurf type of board.  That was phase one and now I'm moving on to phase two -- I have 6 and 4 metre wings and a large board to learn on.

Thanks Admin.

I'm going to start with a high volume wide board to try and geat the hang of this and then hopefully move to a smaller volume, shorter board.

I did give it a try on a smaller board and did some flailing so I know I need some stability to attempt to get up and going.

Thanks again for the advice.

Admin -- I'm thinking about purchasing a 5' 10" SS Out Wit.  Is it a descent wing foil board?

Thanks for any feedback.

Hi deja vu,

We loved our Outwits.  We learned a lot on those boards and I feel like they were a great purchase and an amazing value.  They were designed as SUP boards and while they may not be the end all for winging they are great to get started on.  What is your weight and experience with foiling?

Thanks for the response.

I'm 75 kg. -- I'm coming from one year of wind foiling and 40 years of windsurfing.

Here's something for you to sink your teeth into -- a nice review of the Sky Wing boards.

I don't know about the Wings but here are the stats for the three Sky Wing foil boards:

Sizes
SKY Wing 4'8'' 55L 22" / 56 cm 4'8" / 142 cm 2x US Track - 5.79Kg (12.8 lbs)
SKY Wing 5'0'' 75L 24" / 61 cm 5'0" / 152 cm 2x US Track - 6.58Kg (14.5 lbs)
SKY Wing 5'4'' 95L 26" / 66 cm 5'4" / 163 cm 2x US Track - 7.27Kg (16 lbs)

The weight of these boards seems a little on the high side.

You might try a harness to take some of the strain off your arms, especially going upwind.

In the video below Alan Cadiz explains why and when he uses a harness.
