Our Best Wing Foiling Wings

Since the introduction of winging and wing foiling to the watersports world in 2019, there has been many adaptations and updates to the equipment as we all progress. The wings themselves have developed to be designed for certain styles of riding such as beginner and freeride, to wave and jumps; as well as the increase in size range and style of handles to boom grip.

We have put together a list of the best wings for 2024, the newest wings with the newest updates and our most recommended for those wing foiling, whether your first or third wing!

1. NAISH WING SURFER ADX

Since its release mid-way through 2023, this Naish ADX wing is now our shop favourite and the wing choice for shop owner, Chris. The ADX is the next level up in the Naish range with the hard handles added to this wing and the V dihedral canopy shape. A top favourite for our freeride wing foilers, this wing can help progress your wing foiling and tackle all those foil gybes and tacks. A great wing choice for those intermediate wingers looking for a wing to help them develop freeride foiling skills and sessions.

Naish Wing Surfer ADX - 2.0 / 2.5 / 3.0 / 3.5 / 4.0 / 4.5 / 5.0 / 5.5 / 6.0 / 7.0

2. DUOTONE SLICK SLS

As mentioned above, the Slick has undergone improvements and upgrades for 2023 and the year ahead. Duotone starts by using new technology of SLS – Strong/ Light/ Superior.

The most popular model in the range is now lighter with more lift and stability resulting in a wing that’s easier to use with a smoothness that will make you want to stay on the water for hours! It’s not only lighter but also stiffer resulting in crisper, more direct feedback.

The Slick SLS is great for rotational moves and has been engineered to give enough clearance to reduce the dragging of the wingtips. A new window layout reduces weight while maintaining visibility to any blind spots.

A firm favourite in the shop, and the go-to for those that like the boom feature of a wing.

DUOTONE SLICK SLS - 3.0 / 3.5 / 4.0 / 4.5 / 5.0 / 5.5 / 6.0 / 6.5 / 7.0

3. NEILPRYDE FLY

Their introduction to the market has been delayed, but for good reason. Neilpryde have been working on this wing for the last two years to provide the ultimate wing for this time.

Due to the highly refined LE geometry and entry shaping, each wing produces the maximum thrust (power and acceleration) for its size. This dramatically increases the range, allowing riders to use a smaller wing than is typical in each set of conditions. The result is easier handling and greater manoeuvrability. Rigid tubular handles add amazing roll control and ease of movement for the rider. This wing is going to make a big impact into the market as it ticks all the boxes, superbly designed and amazing to use.

NEILPRYDE FLY - 2.9 / 3.3 / 3.6 / 4.0 / 4.3 / 4.7 / 5.0 / 5.4 / 5.7 / 6.0

Currently discounted too!

4. STARBOARD FREEWING AIR V3

The V3 of this wing has something for everyone. It manages to be a great wing for beginners to wing foiling but has certain design aspects that means any intermediate foiler is happy playing and jumping with this wing too!

Super lightweight in your hands and amazing power in lighter winds, this wing will keep you up on the foil when the winds drop and is amazing on a downwinder. Yet, on the other side of the spectrum the canopy is stiffer and more stable, contributing to improvements in a rider's skill in higher winds and for jumping and skills. 

The unique handles on the Freewing V3 are webbing-based but stiffer than normal handles yet comfortable for grip on your hands.

Starboard AirRush Freewing V3 - 2.5 / 3.0 / 3.5 / 4.0 / 4.5 / 5.0 / 5.5 / 6.0 / 7.0

5. NAISH MATADOR LT

The Matador LT Wing Surfer has had its upgrades for the 2023 season and is a firm favourite, specifically for those getting into the sport. The Matador is a great wing for everyone, whether you are starting out, blasting about or even jumping. With the more compact shape and less swing weight wave riders love this wing as it still remains stable with a great boost of power. We recommend the LT range in particular due to the power and control remaining the same but the wing is lighter and more maneuverable. The LT canopy has no window panels and there is more pre-load in its windowless canopy than its predecessor, creating even better “sheet-in-and-go” power with a more balanced and linear power delivery. Only three wide ergonomic handles for users, but with new rubber inlay grip-stripes, it makes the handles even more comfortable and require less rider effort to hang on to! Feedback already on this wing has been super positive.

Another reason this is a customer choice and why we recommend this wing so much is the value for money, the wing is currently 50% off!

NAISH MATADOR LT - 3.0 / 4.0 / 5.0 / 6.0
