How do I Choose the Correct Wing Size for my Takuma Foils?Updated 4 months ago

Choosing the Correct Wing Size

Selecting the appropriate wings for your foil hinges on various factors and necessitates a modest grasp of the sport.

As you delve into the world of foiling, experimenting with different wings allows you to fine-tune your setup and cater it to your evolving skills and preferences. Seeking advice from experienced foilers can provide valuable insights and help you make informed decisions about the wings that will best suit your foiling journey.

There are also some important factors that you need to consider such as:

• Your experience and skill level in water board sports
• The type of foiling you want to practice which includes:
  - Wing Foil (powered by a wing) 
  - SUP Foil (powered by a paddle) 
  - SURF Foil (powered by the waves) .
• The kind of conditions and locations where you practice the sport.
• How much you weigh also factors in.

So, How Do I Choose?

The general idea is to look at the surface area of the foil wings and consider how it would work on your foil board, once you're in the water. 

Smaller Surface Area (cm2) means:

• More efficient downwind
• Better performance and efficiency at high speed and in waves
• Better handling and more responsive on tight turns
• Faster, but harder to master
• Less effective with pumping displacement
• More difficult to enter and stay in foil mode (requires more speed)

Tailored for those who've mastered board sports. A smaller surface area for the foil wings can accommodate riders of a higher calibre skill, whether they're into Wind Foiling, Kite Foiling, or SUP Foiling with a paddle, especially in challenging conditions like strong winds and sizable waves.


Larger Surface Area (cm2) means: 

• Suitable for heavier Riders
• Less efficient downwind
• Less efficient at high speed and in waves
• Slower, but easier to master
• Handles better with wider turns
• Easier when pumping
• Easier to enter and stay in foil mode (requires less speed)
