Kite foiling gear
A hydrofoil lifts the board clear of the water, so you can ride in wind that barely moves a twin-tip. The trade-off is a steep and occasionally painful learning curve.
Brands' beginner foil set-ups favour a shorter mast, a large, stable front wing and a board built for easy water starts and take-offs. Our kite foiling guide explains what to buy first.
