Nice video and tips. I found going from kitesurfing I had 12m,9m, and 5m kites. For wing foiling I use 6m, 4.5m + 2.5m. So, what I find is what size you used in kitesurfing, half the size for winging and you won't go wrong. many thanks

Thank you for explaining the differences between the 'grunty' type wings vs. forward pulling ones - Super helpful to have words to describe the characteristics of each type.

[@MACkiteboarding]

Of course :) They are really quite different but we do find that most wings end up being a blend of the two. -Tucker

Would love a chart with the wing categories and brand fits. Smaller and larger folk categories as well. It would be some what subjective with all the other factors ie lower choices in foils.

[@MACkiteboarding]

Thanks for the suggestion. 🤙🏽 We'll definitely consider this as an idea for a future video/blog post. Good winds to you, my friend. -Aaron

Where would a f one strike v2 fall in the spectrum?

[@MACkiteboarding]

I'd put it strongly in the "lifty/grunty" wing camp. -Tucker

[@MACkiteboarding]

It's pretty grunty with limited range in my experience. -Tucker
