When I started blogging about windfoiling in 2017, people were talking about windsurf foiling as one discipline and a curiosity within windsurfing. Back then all the foils were pretty similar and there was no real discussion with the potential foil customer about what they wanted. Foils were pushed onto the market by leading windsurfing brands […]
Windsurfing has always been about speed and pushing the limits. With the introduction of the hydrofoil, speed demons have a new tool in their arsenal to play with and new world records to break. The current world record for top max speed on a windsurf foil is 36.44 knots, held by Nicolas Goyard (set in […]
Surfing is an addictive sport. Feel the weightless sensation of gliding across the water’s surface once, and you’ll likely be hooked for life. Most surfers would surf every day if they could. Unfortunately, surfers need to rely heavily on weather conditions to have a fun day on the water. First, you need ridable waves which […]
One of the biggest advantages of windfoiling is to be able to plane with much less wind than with a classic windsurf board. This gives you more fun days on the water when you normally would have been sitting on the beach, waiting for the wind to pick up. However, when you first start windfoiling, […]
When you’re testing the limits of your windsurfing skills, crashes happen! No matter if you’re a beginner or an expert, at some point you’re going for a rough ride into the water.

Is foil windsurfing (also known as windfoiling) going to succeed and convert every windsurfer to this new style of windsurfing? In other words, will windsurf foiling be the […]

Windsurfing or Windfoiling or both? The first question was about the commitment to windfoiling. Our assumption was that the majority of people are […]
Windfoil Zone is proud to introduce a new windsurf coaching channel on Youtube., but this one has a slight difference to the ones you’ve probably seen already. Simon (known as Cookie to everyone) has been windsurfing for more than 15 years and foiling since it came onto the scene a few years back. He has […]
