The Sky Rider 4’8 is the perfect Wing Foil board for light weights (under 75Kg). Compact, it is therefore very responsive and manoeuvrable. It’s the perfect board for freestyle and wave surfing. It’s also a great race board on flat water.
With the same advantages, the Sky Rider 5’2 is the all-rounder board for intermediate/advanced foilers with a build of more than 80 kg. The 5’2 will allow you to start very early thanks to an excellent glide propelled by the double concave at the front (throttle from start to schedule).
