Ever see someone glide across the water, effortlessly flying with the wind, and think, “That looks amazing—but probably impossible”? Think again. Wing foiling is one of the most exciting, fast-growing watersports around, and the best part? It’s totally accessible, even if you’re brand new. With the right gear and a little guidance, you’ll be up and flying in no time and AFLOAT is here to help you make that leap.
Whether you want to cruise calm waters or chase wind-fueled thrills, wing foiling is your ticket to serious fun.
Why Wing Foiling?
Wing foiling combines the simplicity of surfing with the freedom of wind sports. No lines, no rigging, no boat required, just you, the wind, and the water. It's cleaner, safer, and easier to learn than kiteboarding or windsurfing.
AFLOAT makes it easy to get started with premium gear, expert guidance, and everything you need to hit the water confidently.
The 3 Essentials You Need to Start Flying
All you need to wing foil is a foil board, a hydrofoil, and a wing—and you can find all three in our Wing Foiling Collection. Let’s break them down:
1. Foil Board – Your Foundation
A beginner-friendly foil board should be stable and floaty. We recommend boards in the 100–140 liter range, this gives you the balance you need to stand, launch, and ride with confidence.
At AFLOAT, we carry dedicated wing foil boards built for beginners and intermediates. These boards are shorter and thicker than traditional surfboards, giving you better control and easier takeoff. They’re designed to help you progress quickly and have fun from the very first session.

2. Hydrofoil – Your Lift-Off System
This is where the magic happens. The hydrofoil lifts your board above the surface, reducing drag and letting you “fly” over the water. For beginners, the right foil setup makes a huge difference.
Here’s what we recommend:
-
A large front wing (1500–2000+ cm²) for more lift at lower speeds.
-
A shorter mast (60–75 cm) to stay in control and reduce wipeouts.
-
A modular foil system so you can upgrade as your skills grow.
At AFLOAT, we offer beginner-friendly foil packages from top-tier brands like Duotone and Tahe gear that grows with you and performs session after session.

3. Wing – Your Wind Engine
Your wing is your power source, lightweight, inflatable, and easy to use. Just hold on, catch the breeze, and go.
For most new riders, a 4m² to 5m² wing is ideal for typical wind conditions. Our wings come with soft handles for comfort and control, which are perfect for learning. They’re stable, efficient, and built to deliver smooth power.
We’re proud to carry Duotone and Cabrinha wings, some of the best in the business. Known for their balance, handling, and durability, they’ll have you carving turns and cruising upwind before you know it.
