GEAR : WHICH SIZE TO CHOOSE IN FLINT FSP PRO !!!

How to choose the right size of your Flint FSP PRO?

To determine which Board size you need, you need to consider your weight, your level, and the volume offered in each size.

SUP Foil

In SUPFoil, you must absolutely have a positive volume balance. Your weight plus the Board’s weight must be less than the Board’s volume. Don’t hesitate to take some volume and width if you are not sure of your support. You can gain enough volume to float, in the order of your weight + 10 = volume. Example: I weigh 80kg + 10 = 90L to float. This means that with a 5’6 of 95L I will float, provided that I have a good level in SUPFoil. And if I want comfort I will have to add 20 instead of 10 and therefore switch to the 5’8 of 110L.

Wing Foil With a Wing, you can take it very generously if you are a beginner. And if you already have a good level, you will on the contrary get a volume limit by following the same rule as in SUPfoil above. The Flint is wide enough at the tips to be stable and you can also under-liter it since it is wide enough at the tips to be stable. So, if you have a great level and want maximum reactivity, you can switch to negative volumes. Up to your weight – 10 = volume you can go on your knees while leaning the Wing on the water. Below this volume you will have to do waterstarts while sinking the Board: it’s very technical, very physical, and you lose the lower half of your wind range. With each fall, you have to start all over again… Not very fun, and a very questionable performance gain.
