SUP foil advice

Foils and Boards - Gear Talk

I have played in both the AFS blackbird at 8’x22.5 and the KT dragonfly surf 8’2”x 22 both are around 130 liter. I am 87 kg dry weight. I love my sabfoil 1350 leviathan and my Cedrus 75 forged aluminum. If your just starting do not go skinny below 21” and do not go small foil. You will have a hard time with 22” wide but it’s possible with effort.

If you are unsure find someone and try theirs. Imagine in a rolling sweep standing on a regular sup and then take 8” to 10” off of it. That’s a 22” board. patience and practice are the key. Like daily paddle in the ocean practice.

I am in South Florida.

I’m close to the same weight and foil in Hilton Head. I went with a 7’7” Nimitz. I think it’s like 117 liters. It sure is tippy when it is anything but a clean small swell. I wish I would have gone with something that was more fun to just stand on. It sure feels good when I’m up and riding though.
