Wings
51 products from major wing foiling retailers.
Wing foiling wings are handheld inflatable airfoils that a rider grips while standing on a foil board. The wing catches wind and generates pull, which — combined with a hydrofoil underneath — lifts the board off the water. Wings are used across disciplines including freeride cruising, wave riding, downwind runs, and freestyle. They're the primary power source in a wing foiling setup and the piece of gear riders interact with most directly.
Wings are sized in square meters, typically ranging from about 2.5 m² to 7 m² or larger. Smaller wings suit stronger winds and lighter riders; larger wings generate more low-end power for light wind or heavier riders. Most riders own two or three wings to cover their local wind range. Beyond size, the main choice axes are handle system, construction, and profile shape. Handle systems fall into three categories: soft handles (lightweight, forgiving, common on freeride wings), rigid handles (more direct feedback and control), and booms (a full-length bar offering infinite hand placement). Some brands, like Duotone with their Fusion system, let riders swap between boom and handles on the same wing. Construction differences — canopy fabric weight, leading-edge diameter, strut count, and frame materials like Aluula — affect stiffness, durability, and overall wing weight. Wing profile (aspect ratio, depth) influences how the wing generates power and how it drifts when released.
A wing is one part of a three-piece kit: you pair it with a board and a hydrofoil assembly (front wing, rear stabilizer, fuselage, and mast). Choosing a wing that matches your foil's lift characteristics and your board's volume helps build a balanced setup for your weight and wind conditions.
