Discover our range of ultra-strong boards for wing foiling. You will find the right board for your size and level, as well as advice to make your choice.
The wing foil board is the support on which you will climb on it to wingfoil. There are two main families: inflatable boards and hard boards.
Inflatable boards are a convenient option for those who need equipment that is easy to transport and store. It folds completely and fits in a backpack. This allows you to easily move everywhere, by plane, shooting, on horseback or whatever. The key word is to save space. This option is very interesting for all those who have a real need to save space in a car, an apartment or to get around. They are also more affordable than rigid boards and they are also easy and reassuring for beginners because of the solidity, and the fact that you don’t get hurt on them when you fall.
However, if you are a skilled or even experienced practitioner, you will prefer rigid boards. Rigid boards perform better and are faster than inflatable boards. They come out of the water more easily, they bring more rigidity, nervousness and responsiveness to the foil, which makes them ideal for advanced riders. If you are an experienced practitioner and want to improve your level in wing foil, a rigid board is the best option for you. In summary, inflatable boards are a great option for beginners and casual riders, while rigid boards are more capable and more suitable for experienced riders.
If you’re a beginner, opt for an inflatable board with 30 to 40 L above your weight.
If you are a beginner and want a hard board, get a board with 15 L more than your weight. Larger riders will start with the 6’3 in 138 L or 120 L. If you are around 90 kg, we recommend the 6’0 in 120 l, 80 kg, the 5’8 or the 5’7 in 105 l and finally if you are less than 75 kg, take a 5’4 or a 5’5 in 94 L.
We advise you to start on a board equal to or even less than your weight. Look at the Superfly Elite range or the LW Elite and DW Elite range. These are ranges built in full sandwich carbon that will give you rigidity, solidity and lightness. It will bring your foil back to life by bringing more responsiveness.
If you want to reduce the board size but stick with larger widths for more ease. See you on the Sky rider 5’2 and 4’8 range.
If you’re looking to optimise light wind, go for the LW and DW Elite range. We have created this range to allow you to sail from 5 knots of wind.
The choice of your wing foil board depends on your level and weight.
If you’re looking for a used wing foil board, be sure to check the overall condition of the board, especially areas where it might show signs of wear or repair.
Used rigid boards can offer excellent performance at a reduced cost, but it is crucial to check the structure carefully to avoid any unpleasant surprises.
Used inflatable boards can also be a good option, but make sure the valves and seams are in good condition to prevent leaks.
At Sroka, we offer used wing foil boards in perfect condition.
Each board is carefully inspected and serviced to ensure it meets our high quality standards.
By choosing a used board from Sroka, you can be assured of getting a reliable and high-performance product, while making significant savings.
In summary, an inflatable board will bring you ease and less bulk, a high-end rigid board like the superfly will bring you: performance, maneuverability, and rigidity.
You have mastered the subject of Wing Foil, you sail whatever the level of the spot. You want to push your limits, play with the elements, fly over the swell trains. You know that you’re going to need a smaller and therefore more powerful piece of equipment to experience these sensations.
To surpass yourself, we advise you:
SKY RIDER 5’5, 5’4, 5’2, 4’8 / Fast Flyer 4’6 / Superfly / LW or DW.
Here, the idea is no longer to simply nviguer, but to perform in the respective areas of these boards, whether it’s freestyle, doxnxind surfing or even lightwind.
Be careful, in wingfoil, the Fast Flyer as well as the small superfly (under 5’0) require the mastery of the water start.
We recommend our article How Wing Foil Boards Are Built as far as building materials are concerned. We do not compromise on quality with Full Sandwich Carbon Fiber or Fiberglass Made in France. For the inflatable boards, we choose professional semi-rigid PVC, and a carbon plate covered with PVC to avoid shocks and that the carbon does not heat up in the sun, damaging the glue.
On the technical side, we have chosen a light rocker to pass the chop, combined with a double concave hull that allows you to easily leave if you come into contact with the water. At the back, the cut out also makes it easy to get back into your surfboards. The outline of the board is chunky to guarantee stability and a very fast start in flight, without being too wide, which would prevent you from manoeuvring. The wide tail also promotes stability.
The development of a Sroka foilboard
And in all this: straps or not in wing foil ? But if you come from windsurfing or kitesurfing, remember that wing foil is different. As with the boom, the rules are not the same. If you’re just starting out, in the vast majority of cases, straps are a hindrance to progress by limiting your ability to make up for mistakes and increasing the risk of injury to your ankles.
It should be chosen according to its level, size and practice. If you prefer to start with boards like the Sky Rider 5’5 or 5’4 (90L, for 70Kg and under), 5’7 or 5’8 (105L for 70 to 90Kg) and 6’0 or 6’3 (for 80Kg and more), experienced riders can choose the 5’2 (77L) and 4’8 (68L) for freestyle or you can go for the Superfly Elite range from 5’3 to 4’2 (32 L to 85 L) and a versatile practice and check out the Fast Flyer (38L).
For all those who want to sail in very light winds. We have just released the LW and DW range which will allow you to sail at 5 knots of wind.
The 6′ and 6’4 (144 and 155L) inflatable boards are ideal for beginners. Those who want a performance board to take anywhere on a trip will turn to the 5’3 (120L).
To start wing foiling, you need a board with volume and above all not to overestimate yourself. For those weighing less than 70kg, it is possible to go for the 5’4 or 5’5 Sky Rider 90L. From 70 to 85, go for the 5’7 or 5’8. And over 85 kg, opt for the 6’0 or 6’3. You should also choose a board that is solid and not a board to be thrown away. We manufacture full sandwich PVC boards, the best construction on the market.
Yes. All Sroka wing foil boards come with a two-year warranty. We use the best materials and construction on the market (full sandwich PVC, carbon or fiberglass) so that we do not make disposable products, but durable and high-performance. We also offer series of foil boards entirely made in France.
You need to choose a board that is adapted to your size and level. Especially when you’re just starting out, you shouldn’t overestimate yourself at the risk of not being able to progress. You don’t have to go below the Sky Rider 5’5 and its 90L to start. The Sky Rider 5’8 (105L), 6’3 (120L) models and the Air 6′ and 6’4 inflatable models will be perfect for beginners for most builds, 70Kg and more. Another criterion in the choice of the board is the quality of the construction and materials. The build quality determines whether your board is going to last more than one season or not and whether it will really perform. We build our boards in full sandwich PVC carbon or fiberglass, it’s the best there is. Check out our video on how to build wingfoil boards here.
To practice wing foil, you need a board, a foil and a wing. In addition, there is a board leash and a wing leash which are essential accessories for the practice. You need to add a pump to inflate the wing (or inflatable board). We advise you to wear a long wetsuit and booties to protect your legs and feet from the foil. Don’t forget about safety equipment!
We advise you to rinse your equipment well with clean water and not to store it outside or in very hot, very cold or very humid places. Do not open the pressure relief screw if you are not flying or if you are not leaving your board in a very hot place (beach in summer, car trunk).
Allow 24 hours for the preparation of the order and one to three working days for the delivery of the package in metropolitan France.
Wingfoil boards can vary greatly depending on the brands and construction methods.
This will determine their sustainability, but not only.
The stability and responsiveness of the foil also depend on the construction.
The larger the front wings of the foil, the stiffer the board will have to be.
In order for it to be rigid, the force recovery of the housings must be carried out between the deck and the hull by a passing block of PVC.
Not all wingfoil boards are built this way.
It is therefore essential to check before buying a board, even from the biggest brands, because it is not systematic.
What should also be remembered is the weight/strength ratio.
Technically, to be light, you have to reduce the amount of material in the board, which can make it fragile.
A board that is too heavy can be restrictive.
So a compromise must be found.
Personally, I prefer to lose 300 to 400 g but have a much stiffer and stronger board than to have a very light but fragile board.
The serenity on the water is well worth those extra 400 g.
We build our boards in two processes depending on the range.
On the Sky Rider range, we use a PVC-fiberglass sandwich under the hull and under the pads, with carbon reinforcement on the rails (see the diagram of the Sky Rider constructions).
It is a solid and rigid construction.
On the Superfly and LW/DW range, we use a complete PVC-carbon sandwich for the deck and hull, with carbon reinforcement on the rails to increase stiffness.
It is the ultimate and it brings real rigidity and solidity.
The size of the board is determined by different factors: your level, your balance and where you will be sailing.
On a flat body of water with a light weight, a smaller board is used.
On the other hand, if you are heavy and/or you are sailing in a rough body of water, a wider board will be more suitable.
Of course, these recommendations should be weighted according to your technical level and your experience in board or balance sports.

Recall that a volume is calculated as follows: Volume = Length x Width x Thickness.
Talking only about the liter is not the best option.
For example, a 7’2 foot board in 105 liters can be very narrow, while a 5’7 foot board in 105 liters can have a larger width, which will provide more stability and make it easier to use.
It is therefore essential to take into account all the dimensions of the board, not just the literacy.
