To help you continue to progress, we have released two new wing foil boards: the Sky Rider 4'8 and 5'2.
However, before looking at the new Sky Rider 4'8 and 5'2 boards, it's important to understand the construction of Wing Foil boards. Indeed, wing foiling is a booming activity, and the options keep multiplying. This is why choosing your board can quickly become complex. There are a multitude of possible constructions for Wing Foil boards. Depending on the construction, the board has completely different characteristics. The construction method and the materials used will influence the longevity of your board, its strength, its weight, and its performance.
To make your choice, it is therefore essential to look at the construction of your wing foil board. This way, you can choose the best possible quality for your equipment.
Video Presentation
Bruno Sroka (3x world kiteboarding champion) is the creator and director of the SROKA brand. He has worked for almost 15 years developing kite racing boards in the kite industry. In this video, he explains everything about the different construction methods and introduces you to the new Sky Rider boards.
Once you've seen this video, you'll understand why we strive to always prioritize the best possible quality. At SROKA, all our boards are made in full carbon or fiberglass PVC sandwich construction. This is currently the best construction on the market. This is obviously the case for the two new Sky Rider 4'8 and 5'2.
The new Sky Rider: 4'8 and 5'2
To support you in your evolution, we have developed two new smaller boards. These are the Sky Rider 4'8 and 5'2.
We have noticed that the general level of Wing Foil riders continues to increase. That's why we want to offer you the right equipment to take you to the next level. With a volume of less than 90 liters, the Sky Rider 4'8 and 5'2 give you access to new possibilities.
The refined shape of these new wing boards will provide you with stability and reactivity. The boards are shorter, perfect for jumping, gaining speed, and having more maneuverability.
They are ideal for freestyle, racing, or simply enjoying the waves.

How to choose between the two?
- The Sky Rider 4'8 is the perfect Wing Foil board for lighter riders (under 75kg). Compact, it is therefore very reactive and maneuverable. It's the ideal board for freestyle and surfing waves. It's also an excellent race board on flat water.
- With the same advantages, the Sky Rider 5'2 is the all-rounder board for intermediate/advanced foilers weighing over 80 kg. The 5'2 will allow you to get going very early thanks to excellent glide propelled by the double concave at the front (accelerating take-off to planing).
As you will have understood, the choice between the Sky Rider 4'8 and the Sky Rider 5'2 will depend mainly on your weight. It is still possible for a rider over 80 kg to use the Sky Rider 4'8, but a wind power of at least 14 knots will be needed to exploit its potential.
If you are looking for an even smaller board, the Fast Flyer 4'6 will satisfy you. It's the perfect board for surf foil and wing foil in waves or for those who want to do 100% freestyle.
