F o i l m a n i a 08 Where is Foiling heading in the future? Foiling is still a long way from being fully developed. Before the turn of the millennium, we were still foiling with aluminum foils. Today we use carbon, the constructions are getting lighter and the profiles are becoming more and more sensitive. Wing Foiling is currently the biggest driver of innovation, simply because it is still a very young sport that is growing all over the world. People are constantly discovering new conditions with the handheld wing and this in turn is driving development. A development that is being driven forward in a technologically very demanding, innovative environment with a lot of simulation. The development of the foils goes hand in hand with the development of the wings. New, innovative wings achieve higher speeds and have better pressure point stability, which suddenly allows you to control much more agile foils. And wing foilers always want to experience a different riding experience with their foil. It’s a super exciting time because you can still feel big differences from year to year.
