Whether it's your first day shopping around for a wake foil or you are a frequent flyer, you're in the right place. We'll break down the wake foil that should be under your feet at every stage of your wake foil journey.
Beginner
Those that may have dabbled in other water sports or board sports, or have no previous board sport experience. If this is you, we applaud you for taking up wake foiling. Wake foiling has a steeper learning curve than other board sports, but with the right equipment under your feet, you'll be up and flying in no time!
RONIX KOAL SURFACE 727 FOIL | BEGINNER-INTERMEDIATE HYBRID SERIES (SHIFT MAST)
Price: $1,999.92
Key Feature: Shift Mast
The Ronix 727 Shift Mast Wake Foil package is ideal for those that get a bit uneasy with heights. The shift mast allows you to increase the height of the mast as you progress your riding. The front and rear wing with this package are also designed to be very stable and provide minimal lift. Furthermore, packaged with a compression molded board and foot straps, this wake foil is a no brainer for any beginner.
LIQUID FORCE 2024 LAUNCH | LAUNCH 120 FOIL PACKAGE
Price: $999.99
Key Feature: Exaggerated nose rocker
The Liquid Force Launch is one of the best price points on the market. It features a slightly shorter mast at 24", a very stable beginner-friendly board, and a front wing that keeps you from breaching out of the water. Liquid Force has committed to making their entire foil line interchangeable, so as you progress past this package you'll only need to upgrade one component at a time rather than buying a full package.
Beginner/Intermediate
Those with previous water sport or board sport experience, but are venturing into the world of wake foiling for the first time. Welcome to your newest addiction! It may take a few times out to feel comfortable up on foil, but once you get the hang of it, you'll be hooked. Our recommendation below will help fuel your newfound addiction as you'll progress your riding with ease.
LIQUID FORCE 2024 POD | FLITE 120 FOIL PACKAGE
Price: $1,499.99
Key Feature: 2-in-1 foil and wakesurf board
The Pod|Flite foil package is all levels friendly, but will be particularly fun for those just starting out. This package comes in either a 4'9 or 4'4 board. The 4'9 will offer more stability and more leverage to counter-balance the lift from the front wing. The 4'4 will offer more maneuverability and a chance for the rider to really feel the foil wing underfoot. Each size comes with fin boxes and fins to turn this wake foil into a wakesurf board if so desired.
Intermediate
Those that have tried foiling a handful of times before, or are progressing out of their first wake foil set-up. We agree, this new water sports "craze" is really, really fun. Below we aim to kick the fun up a notch.
HYPERLITE 2024 UTE FOIL BOARD | COMMANDER 1300 FOIL PACKAGE
Price: $1,999.99
Key Feature: 2-in-1 foil and wakesurf board
Similarily to the Liquid Force Pod Foil Board, the Hyperlite Ute foil board doubles as both a foil board and wakesurf board. Available in a 5'0 and 4'5. The 4'5 would be our recommendation for those intermediate riders. The Commander 1300 front wing is an all levels wing that will grow with you as you progress. The Ute foil board features a bit of a convex on the top deck making it less stable, but more reactive.
Intermediate/Advanced
Those that have become loyal to the foil. Working on wave transfers and expanding your playground. You can feel the difference between wings and are most likely after something more reactive underfoot. Our wake experts drop some knowledge for you below.
LIQUID FORCE 2024 NEBULA | CARBON HORIZON SURF 155 FOIL PACKAGE
Price: $2,699.98
Key Feature: Glide Speed
The Nebula board features a chine rail to bounce you back on foil if you touch the water. Available in a 4'2 and 3'8, each board size option allows for a reactive, maneuverable ride. Paired with the 155 Front Wing, featuring a thinner profile for better glide speed, this foil package is fast and efficient when up on foil.
