To start in this sport, volume is the key aspect.

More board volume will provide more buoyancy and a foil with more surface area will be more stable once in flight.

Recommended Wingfoil equipment for initiation:

• a 120L board, minimum 6′ (length and width)
• a wing of 5 m2. The size of the wing decreases as the force of the wind increases, while remaining in relation to the weight of the user.
• A foil with a medium mast of about 75 cm and a foil wing of between 2000 and 2500mm2 will facilitate getting out onto the water, in almost flat water, but without much speed.
