Wing Foiling | How to Correctly Downsize to Your Next Wing Board

Jeff and Ryan from MACkiteboarding.com discuss transitioning from a beginner wing foil board to the next level. They emphasize finding a versatile "daily driver" board after selling a beginner board of around 120 liters. They consider factors like board length, width, volume, and whether one needs multiple boards for different wind conditions. The conversation centers on finding a board that provides the most value and longevity, avoiding the need to buy multiple boards. They note that many customers want to downsize as quickly as possible, chasing the notion that smaller boards are inherently better. Jeff and Ryan have experience with various board sizes and suggest a gradual downsizing process based on skill and conditions. They mention two example boards: a 65-liter board suitable for riders around 175-185 pounds in 15 knots or over and a downwind SUP board for light wind winging. For someone moving from a 120-liter board, they recommend a 90-liter board as a sensible next step, offering a balance of buoyancy and performance. This size is suitable for various conditions and can be a long-term choice without needing to downsize further. They advise against immediately jumping to very small boards (like 60 liters) unless the rider is very skilled and often in powered conditions. Jeff and Ryan highlight the importance of matching the board size to one's skill level, weight, and local wind conditions. They suggest that for their weight range (165-200 pounds), an 80-90 liter board is versatile for most conditions. They conclude that most riders end up preferring boards in the 65-90 liter range, as extremely small boards can be limiting and require more effort to ride. The technology in board design is evolving towards longer and narrower shapes, which should be considered when choosing a mid-range board.
