Key Considerations

When selecting your F-ONE foilboard, consider your skill level, weight, typical riding conditions, and preferred riding style. Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you make the right choice.

Board Range Overview

Our foil board range is designed for both accessibility and performance. The feedback from our pro riders has been instrumental in shaping these boards to cater to all levels of foiling enthusiasts.

Volume Guidelines

For wing foiling, your weight and skill level determine the ideal board volume:

  • Beginner: Weight + 40L. For example, a 70kg rider should opt for a board around 110L.
  • Intermediate: Weight = Volume. A 60kg rider should choose a board around 60L.
  • Advanced: Weight - 15L. More experienced riders benefit from lower volumes for better maneuverability and speed.

Specific Board Recommendations

Rocket Wing Range

  • Beginner: Boards like the ROCKET WING ASC 110L or ROCKET WING Bamboo 105L are ideal.
  • Intermediate: Match your weight to the board volume for improved control.
  • Advanced: Opt for lower volumes to enhance responsiveness and speed.

Rocket Midlength

  • Beginner: Weight + ~40L. For example, an 80kg beginner should choose the 6’2 board with 120L.
  • Intermediate: Weight + ~25L.
  • Advanced: Weight + ~15L.
