I’ve been pushing myself to learn to wingsurf in light conditions. The lighter winds a couple of weeks back were 20mph max, but offshore and gusty, as well as more cross-shore and around 15mph in the gusts initially and increasing through the session. Sea states were super flat, with a very slight swell pushing downwind.

Below is a rough guide to help determine Hover Wing Foil board size based on rider weight and skill level. A “beginner” rider is considered as someone with no previous board sport experience.
Keep in mind that additional factors, such as wind conditions, foil, and kite wing size will play an important role in the selection of the right board size.
As a rule of thumb, we recommend erring on the side of a more buoyant board with a volume that matches rider weight (for example, an 80kg rider will need at least an 80L board or larger). Riding a “sinker” will work in locations with steady, strong winds, while floatier boards prove to be a safer choice as they allow the rider to get back to shore even if the wind drops under a foilable limit.
