Flatwater Fin Windsurfing is thrilling and fast-paced. With speeds reaching up to 40 knots, riders must use their skills and agility to control their equipment through varying water conditions. Riders must possess a combination of strength and experience to make quick decisions, often while riding on the edge of control!
Windsurf Foiling is a high-speed, adrenaline-pumping variant on the sport, where riders use hydrofoils to fly across the water's surface. The foils lift the board out of the water, reducing drag and allowing for incredible speeds to be reached with maximum efficiency. Like a flatwater fin setup, riders must use their skills and experience to control their equipment in flight!
