FORUM : about wing size for surfoiling !!!

What size to choose.
At GONG Surfboards, it’s been years since we’ve been practicing this sport. Years of R&D, testing, sessions, debriefings, and in all conditions.
So yes, your Wing size should be chosen in function with your weight an d the type of waves you’re surfing, but take into account above all how you want to surf.
On the GONG Forum, L’Ours responds to Alex on this subject : “Hello,
first of all, many brands are doing foils because they see their SUP market decreasing, not because they love foil since years and years. If you look at their background, you can see that they never foiled 2 years ago. This must be said, sorry.
They don’t understand very well what to do, so they try to explain the activity like they sell Tshirts. But it is flying Tshirts, so a little more sophisticated.
Of course your weight has a relation with your foil lift. But the difference is easy to understand if you look at the volume of each wing. The volume almost equals the lift, more than the area.
If you look at the image below, you see how the volume grows between wings. The M wing is perfect for 75kg in 10s waves. Look at the L, it is 61% bigger !!! It is already huge.” Advisor : l’Ours et GONG Surfboards. Source : GONG Foil Staff, we are foilers.
