What is the new type of windsurfing?
Wing foiling or wing surfing or winging is a wind propelled water sport that developed from kitesurfing, windsurfing and surfing. Today’s cup-class yachts use a wing that is more akin to an airplane’s wing or airfoil than to a traditional sail. The wing enables the catamarans to transfer wind into forward momentum (instead of into lift, as in aircraft).
What is the biggest windsurf sail?
Windsurf slalom sails They usually use special inserts between the battens and the mast, which give the sail a more convex shape and thereby increase the traction force. Slalom sails are the largest of all windsurfing sails, reaching up to 13 m² in size, which novice riders can’t handle. The main criterion when choosing a sail for windsurfing is its size. For certain types of windsurfing, sail shape and durability of sail are also important. If the sail is incorrectly selected, the rider may lose control, be injured or be unable to develop sufficient speed.
