How do you learn wingfoil jibes quickly and well? Let’s say you’re wing foiling and flying goes well already. Then your next big challenge is the (flying) wingfoil jibe. Our experience with the wingfoil jibe is that it requires quite a bit of practice....

That foiling is hot, it’s clear. After the windfoil we now see that the wingfoilen or the ‘winging’ is gaining popularity much faster. Curious as we are, time to try out this way of foiling and experience for ourselves whether it is something and how...

Wind foils of course have a lot of strength to endure. Stiffness of the mast and fuselage is very important for both performance and stability. Roughly speaking, there are 2 materials used to make the mast, aluminum and carbon. Roughly speaking, all the foils in the...
What is the optimal length of the wind foil mast? We get that question a lot. And unfortunately there is not one answer to it. That depends on a number of variables. Starboard in particular does not make choosing any easier, they have no less than 4 different lengths...
