GEAR: FOIL MATCH - WHICH FOIL TO CHOOSE FOR TOW-IN?

News
Surf foil

08 january 2025 0

A lot of you are asking which foil to choose for tow-in. Tow-in foiling needs the foil to be fast and responsive, capable of handling strong accelerations while maintaining control in powerful waves. The best choice depends on your preferences for speed, rail-to-rail performance, and overall control.

Surf foiler: Mathieu, GONG team rider, with a Lemon FSP Pro, HM mast and Curve front wing.

Overview of the best options for Tow-In: Curve, Fluid, and potentially Veloce.

1. Curve for tow-in foiling

Excellent control and confidence: The Curve is an excellent choice if you prioritize stability and smooth transitions in steep or fast waves. Its profile and shape make it forgiving and predictable, ideal for critical sections where you need to feel confident.
Limitations: Although the Curve excels at managing steep waves with precision, it may lack the pure speed needed for bigger and faster waves.

2. Fluid for tow-in foiling

The top versatile choice: The Fluid delivers an extensive performance range, blending speed, glide, and control.
Why it stands out: Its design is tailored for efficient glide and smooth handling, making it an ideal choice for a variety of wave sizes and shapes. Whether you're focusing on rail-to-rail transitions or maximum speed, the Fluid delivers on all fronts.

3. Veloce for tow-in foiling

For those seeking speed: The Veloce is a high-performance choice if speed is your ultimate goal. Its design reduces drag, offering remarkable acceleration and glide, even in larger and faster waves.
Compromise: While it excels at maintaining speed, it sacrifices some rail-to-rail responsiveness compared to the Fluid or Curve. However, for fast, open waves, the Veloce truly shines.

In summary, for a balance of speed, glide, and control, the Fluid is the best choice for tow-in foiling. If you prioritize stability and tighter turns, the Curve is an excellent alternative.
