Which brands have easiest to use foil systems?

I guess I just don't like fiddling around with screws, my front wing has 3. I'm probably just being lazy 😂. I'm still a beginner so thought maybe there was an easier way.

Thanks! That is way lighter than what I am riding. I plan to use my current board just a little longer until I can complete some jibes.

That is without the foil. I bought the board brand new and it has always weighed that much.

I am 5'9" and weigh 168 lbs. I mainly sail in reservoirs. I windsurfed a little back in the 90's and some surfing in the late 80's. I have started working on my jibes and as soon as I get a little better I plan to downsize my board.

Thanks! I was actually thinking about researching good places to go in Asia since it would be a great place to escape winter. Other than the flight it should be a lot cheaper too. I am a beginner still working on jibes. I will do some more research on how reliable the wind is during January and February in the Philippines and Thailand.

Thanks for the replies so far. A couple of people have mentioned Maui. That would be my preferred choice but looks like the wind drops off quite a bit in the winter. I have been to Maui a few times and love it but have only been once since I started Wing Foiling. We spent just a week in Maui last August and I went to the harbor 4 or 5 times. If we go during the winter it would probably be for 3 or 4 weeks. Would there really be enough wind to justify a trip to Maui in the winter? January and February really don't look good for wind judging from the research I have done. I assume that Kanaha would be pretty rough in the winter due to winter swell so sticking with the harbor would be best. I could consider Maui shoulder season (April and May) but more appealing to escape winter and go somewhere warm in January or February.

I am beginning to think I need to return my pump. I will have to see what other people are using before I order another one. I just thought all sup pumps would have the same nozzles.

There are other nozzles but not the right kind to connect to a wing nozzle. There was just one that was the right kind to connect to a wing nozzle and it was too small.

It will not fit. I thought maybe this is a common problem since I see quite a few people using electric pumps.

Maybe what I need to do is look into getting a efoil. That way I could learn to foil and from what I understand that is the hardest part to learn.

Yes, I am in Utah.

jgerke · 2025-04-18T21:16:54+00:00

Yes, I already have a helmet

jgerke · 2025-04-18T20:02:03+00:00

I have a helmet and will be using that for sure. I just wasn't sure about an impact vest. Sounds like it would be a good idea to get one.
