Size Guide
For the practice of wingfoil, the X-Glide V2 foil will be your ally under all conditions, but be careful to choose a wing surface that fits the wind force and your template. Depending on whether you want a single wing or combo, select from our table the ones best suited to your weight and the wind conditions encountered.
The 1250cm2 wing is recommended for medium to strong wind for smaller gauges and up to 85kg, it will allow you to go in search of speed while keeping the healthy navigation of the X-Glide V2.
The 1450 cm2 wing is the ideal wing for all conditions for a rider of less than 60 kg and up to 70 kg. It will also be suitable for a 70-85 kg foiler for medium to strong wind. It presents a great compromise between lift and speed.
The 1750cm2 wing is the most versatile of the X-Glide V2 foil. It ensures that -70kg riders can easily take off in light wind, while the 70-95kg foilers will be able to use it as a single wing. The 1750 cm2 wing can also be part of an ideal combo for a gauge of 95 kg that navigates in medium to strong wind.
The 1950 cm2 wing, by its large load-bearing area, is to be reserved for the heaviest sizes of 95 kg or to push the limits of the low range in the extremely light wind for riders from 85 kg.
For pumping foil, preference should be given to 1450 for gauges of less than 60 kg, the 1700 for riders from 60 to 85 kg and the 1950 for those weighing more than 85 kg.
In short, the lighter you are, the more you go on a small foil wing area, and vice versa. Added to this is to take into account the force of the wind, because it is it that will dictate your average speed that generates the lift necessary to make you fly: for the light, you have to go on a fairly large wing, while the surface may be reduced under more sustained conditions. Keep these two parameters in mind when you choose a single wing or combo.
