Why Downsizing Your Foil Beats Switching to a Smaller Wing Foil Board

[@cefirmeza]

The same principle also applies to the board. Downsizing while making longer and narrower is the way of progression. Volume is just one the variables

[@MACkiteboarding]

Yes, unless you are talking about under 10 knots wind, length is the primary variable. -Tucker

Super helpful advice ! I was considering sizing down on my board, but will experiment with foils first ... Thanks !

[@kurtwaeschle2097]

This is such great advice! It echoes the conversation I recently had with a new wing foiler! Thank you for putting it out there for others to hear as well!

[@MACkiteboarding]

Spread the word Kurt! thanks

You hear people saying that their small board jibes easier and it gets up on foil easier, but its not cause and effect. My jibes are progressing nicely on my 110 because I can relaunch instantly in any conditions, I can schlog out to that windy offshore patch of lake to practice. Tolerating the board envy is a bit tough, but maybe a used 95 becomes available.

Very good advice! On my third foil (1600 -> 1400 MA -> 1000 MA) and still on a 120 lt board as this is helping me get the most time flying while I learn to perfect my jibes. I think it will make sense for me to downsize my board once I start riding the waves with the wing flagged.

[@MACkiteboarding]

Yes, for sure. 120L will be a notable change when you are ready. I'd suggest a 70-80L midlength to pickup some performance without having to work too hard to get going in marginal conditions.

Great advice, have you already done a video on what are some good options for an intermediate, mid to high aspect foil? Hopefully something that won’t break the bank and has good options for further progression (to smaller wings)

[@MACkiteboarding]

Please call, chat, or email the shop with your specific weight and experience, we can match you with an ideal foil for your budget. -Tucker

excellent advice thanks

What jetty is that in the end of the video?

[@MACkiteboarding]

That's our north pier here in Grand Haven - Tucker
