Why wing foiling

What WindUp does for wing foilers.

  • Monitor wind near your wing-foiling spot
  • Choose a window based on your wing, foil and recent sessions

How much wind

What wind speed do you need for wing foiling?

There is no single wing-foiling wind range. The 12–22 kt illustration can be useful for discussing conditions, but your equipment and experience determine your range. Use the wing-size calculator as an estimate and check your equipment’s guidance.

Gusts, not just averages

Gusts and lulls change how much power is available to get onto foil and stay there. Review recent readings as well as the latest average.

How to set your wing foiling alarm

Choose a supported station with useful exposure for your spot. Set conditions based on your equipment, experience and local guidance. Check the timestamp and conditions on arrival; a matching station reading is not a safety assessment.

Local knowledge

Reading the wind for wing foiling
