Introducing the Foil Surfboard

Having a proper foil surfboard will help you catch more waves, foil surf better and have a board that will last. There is a big range of board sizes, shapes and constructions.

Here are a few things to consider when you are purchasing your foil surfboard. 

 - These boards are designed for paddling, catching waves and flying, not surfing in the water. This is why they look different compared to surfboards.

-The larger the board, the larger the sweet spot and easier it is to catch waves.

-The smaller the board, the easier it is to pump.

-All of these boards have wide tails. The wide tail helps “push” the board into the   wave.

-Foam is your friend and you want a lot of foam for catching small waves and   paddling back out.

-A lightweight board is more responsive under your feet.

-Strength is necessary to keep the deck of the board intact and to prevent breakage from the stress put on the board by the foil.

Compared to a normal surfboard with a foil attached to it, a purpose made foil surfboard will:

 -Paddle faster

-Catch more waves

-Maneuver and pump better

-Last longer
