Which wingfoil board should you choose if you’re a beginner?

Which board to choose when you’re a wingfoil beginner? Over the years, wing foil has become an increasingly popular sport, and it’s easy to see why!
The magical sensation of flying over water at will is unrivalled. However, when you’re just starting out, it’s possible to get a little lost when faced with the sheer number of options on offer.
We explain how to make the best choice for your wing board foil according to your desires and your size.

When buying your first wingboard foil, we recommend youopt for a wingfoil pack. That way, you’ll get all the equipment you need to get started at a reduced price. It’s the best option when you want to start wingfoiling!

When it comes to choosing your first wingfoil board, you’ll need to decide on the size of your board. At Sroka, we size our boards to give you maximum performance. Our boards are optimally sized according to their volume. In this way, our boards offer the rider an easy-to-grip board with the best possible glide.
To choose, you can rely solely on the board’s volume, because you can be sure that the size will fit.

Be careful, as this is not the case for all brands. A board that’s too small in relation to its volume will be thicker and therefore have less glide, directional instability and require more power.

Shapes to avoid:

• A board that is too long will have a lot of inertia and will be unpleasant to pump.
• A board that is too stocky will have trouble getting off the ground, will lack glide and its rails will tend to touch the water.
• A board that is too narrow will be very unstable laterally
• Finally, a board that is too thick will have a “corking” effect on the water and will be unstable.

These different shapes are best suited to specific uses once you’ve established your taste and level.
At Sroka, we’ve calculated the perfect ratios for all our rigid and inflatable wingfoil boards, so it’s impossible to find the wrong shape! Everything has been thought out so that our boards have an optimal shape that offers superb gliding sensations and great performance whatever your level.

At Sroka, we want to offer you the product that best suits your needs. Our aim is not to find the best value for money, but to enable you to choose the product that will give you maximum pleasure on the water. Your needs and desires will determine which type of board is best for you.

Inflatable boards, for whom?

Inflatable boards are ideal for people who want to sail from time to time, who don’t have a lot of space and therefore want a board that’s easy to transport.
If you regularly go on vacation or live in the Paris region, you’ll need equipment that doesn’t take up too much space. Inflatables are for you!

When buying a board, it’s important to pay attention to the construction technology and materials used. Not all brands have the same quality standards, so it’s important to pay attention. A top-quality board will not only last longer, it will also give you better performance, glide and feel.

The best construction technology for a wingfoil board isFull Sandwich PVC. This is what we use on all our wingfoil boards foil to guarantee the highest level of quality (and therefore the best performance)!
