THE WIND RANGES ARE EXPRESSED IN KNOTS AND THE SIZES IN ACTUALSQUARE METERS.
THIS WIND RANGE IS GIVEN TO YOU AS AN INDICATION FOR ARIDER WEIGHTING 75 KG.
WIND RANGE VARIES ACCORDING TO EACH RIDER. IT DEPENDS ON:
• The rider’s level: the more you progress the more you will be able to use the wing in the upper wind range.
• The rider’s weight: the bigger you are the more you will be able to use the wing in the upper wind range.
• The type of board used: SUP, SUP foil or Surf foil. You also must choose your wing according to: the aerological
situation (the airflow quality), the weather conditions (wind direction, speed, forecast), and the overall quality of
the spot and the level of safety it offers. When you get to the spot, measure up the wind speed.
