Hi, things have changed a bit over a year. But mid length boards are the latest trend in wingfoil racing because they accelerate better. Something that can float you if the wind drops but it depends on conditions and skills. For course racing a slightly bigger foil for better upwind performance, for slalom - the smallest foil you can get up on in given conditions. I can't recommend a particular brand as it depends on availability in your region but ideally try at demo events or buy a second hand.

Upwind/downwind are the REAL races
Awesome and useful! Love the manic honesty
So useful. Hopefully will inspire others to come along and have a go.
Hey mate, which board and foil you use ? You did great advise on wing - please advise on board and foil
