Hi team. So being as it’s all still so new, what were your design objectives for your first wing-specific board?
Learning from both SUP foiling and also windsurf foiling, we had a good base on what we needed to achieve with the Wingboard design. First, having a board that is stable and comfortable to ride was vital. Short lengths make it easier to trim the board and control it, but without enough volume and stability it is harder to get riding. The boxy rails pack volume where you need it, allowing you to ride a narrower board. We tried cut angles on the sides of the board, but lost too much stability, so then would have needed to make them wider to obtain the same stability. We also learned that the board pops up/lifts off quicker with boxier, straighter
