Buying guide
We have selected for you the preferred foil and wing size for the HIPE First that you choose.
So select the board that suits you, we'll take care of the rest!
The HIPE First is a board dedicated to learning. Several volumes are available to meet the needs of each practitioner according to their level, physical condition and use.
Beginner
You should choose a sufficient volume to float widely, around your weight + 60 = volume.
- Example: I weigh 80kg + 60 = 140L to float. Which means that with 140L and more I would be at ease.
Comfort
You should choose a sufficient volume to float , around your weight + 30 = volume.
- Example: I weigh 80kg + 30 = 110L to float. Which means that with 110L and above I would at ease, provided I have a good level in wing.
A small chart that sums it all up:
As an optional option, we suggest:
For your safety :
A helmet and impact jacket to protect you in the event of a fall and allow you to progress safely.
Our Bodyguard range products in anti-cut textile to limit the risk of injury from contact with the foil.
To make getting started easier:
An additional ALU V2 65 mast: Shorter, it is ideal for learning with confidence with less height, for shallow bodies of water, or for getting kids started.
To protect and maintain your equipment: (highly recommended option to guarantee its durability)
The GONG foil bag Manta to protect your foil during storage or transport when it is mounted.
The GONG Deep Foil bag: the ideal transport bag for storing your entire foil quiver once disassembled.
Tikal Tef-Gel: this marine grease protects the screws of your foil against galvanic corrosion, and thus prevents the screws from welding.
To upgrade your Plus wing:
A set of rigid handles for better control.
The carbon boom and a harness for even more maneuverability and engagement at speed.
Good to know:
Never leave your board in the sun, especially an inflatable board, and even less a black carbon plate which will heat up very quickly. You risk seeing it come unstuck!!!
Do not screw further than the bottom of the box, otherwise you will pass through the skin of the inflatable. We deliver non-opening US nuts, but be careful.
Never let your foil board take a beating in the waves, especially close to the beach. You must protect it from major efforts. A wave that carries your board and rolls it can do serious damage.
