Due to the change in wind direction, the competition was moved to Playa Chica, on the Mediterranean side of Tarifa. Competitors blasted through 4 rounds of the Men’s Elimination and in the second semi-final we saw two F-ONE team mates – Titouan Galea and Maxime Chabloz – face each other to see who could make it into the finals.

The action continued with an expression session with the judging criteria based on overall impression for both surf and freestyle.

Hover Wing Foil Board Size

Below is a rough guide to help determine Hover Wing Foil board size based on rider weight and skill level. A “beginner” rider is considered as someone with no previous board sport experience.

Keep in mind that additional factors, such as wind conditions, foil, and kite wing size will play an important role in the selection of the right board size.

As a rule of thumb, we recommend erring on the side of a more buoyant board with a volume that matches rider weight (for example, an 80kg rider will need at least an 80L board or larger). Riding a “sinker” will work in locations with steady, strong winds, while floatier boards prove to be a safer choice as they allow the rider to get back to shore even if the wind drops under a foilable limit.
