Foiling is a beast of a sport and has exploded recently across all foil activities, wake, kite, SUP, and surf. While all have a margin of cross-over with optimal sizes of wings, masts, fuselages, and boards, wake foils are unique with their relatively low boat speed and small wave size. In addition to being difficult to ride, foiling is confusing and information and education regarding wake foils is vague for both staff and customers. In this article we’ll give you the low-down on all you need to know and walk you through the ins and outs of this complicated but rewarding tow sport!

Description
BOARD
The art of flight wrapped in our lightweight, durable Koal Surface skin. A new design combining the most important needs in a proper foil board - buoyancy, deflection, footwear and swing weight.
Buoyancy – In our many prototypes we found that the best boards were the ones that would barely want to rise when we were standing on them under water. As boards got too thick it was difficult to do a deep-water start – if the board was too thin you don’t have enough buoyancy when preparing to take off. The 727 has a balanced buoyancy unlike any surfer in our lineup.
Deflection – In wakefoiling your angle and quickness should be coming from your foil set up. The boards job is to rebound off the water as quickly as possible allowing the mast to get back into the correct height again. We did this by creating a rockerline unlike any product we have designed, with the most exaggerated bevel covering the profile of the board to help displace the water as quickly/smoothly as possible.
Footwear – We got straps - those first couple times your ride, your boat driver will thank you for using them. It is definitely easier to get up with straps until you feel stable in a foiling body position.
Swing weight – The lighter your board – the quicker/easier the initiation of a turn is. The Koal Surface construction includes the core of our high-end Flyweight Pro series, wrapped in a bulletproof Surface Skin. In short, the lightweight feel of your favorite high-end surfer, the durability of your wakeboard, and a skin that breaks up the water for less resistance.
FOIL
A new construction and design change for 2024. Built with infinite layers of spread tow carbon for the ultimate in lightweight reactive response. Turning radiuses just got tighter, pumps just became more efficient and less weight makes for a quicker overall ride. The ideal size and design for somebody that wants to jump on the gas and transfer waves with ease.
The speed wing is based on a theory that takes an already incredibly fast wing design and introduces low stall speed. It is one thing just to have a fast wing – but what happens when you are in trouble? How long will that wing glide for, and how easily can you regain the necessary elevation to start pumping again? This new Speed Wing has just the right radius and depth of concave shaped into the bottom of the wing greatly improving the stall speed.
