FAQ
The most common question we get: Which size?
Here’s the honest answer.
CHOOSE THE 4’0” IF:
• You’ve been foiling a season or more. This board is built for intermediate to pro-level riders.
• You want the loosest, most responsive board we make. Less surface area means it reacts the second you do.
• You’re chasing tight carves, quick direction changes, and a board that gets out of its own way.
• You’re comfortable working for your landings. Air tricks and hard landings ask more of you on the 4’0”. That’s the tradeoff for the looseness.
• You ride at higher speeds and want minimal swing weight.
CHOOSE THE 4’2” IF:
• You’re newer to foiling, under a season in, or you’re an experienced rider who wants a high-performance board with more margin for error. This board rides beginner to pro.
• You want a more locked-in, stable feel on takeoffs and landings. More surface area means more forgiveness when the board hits the water.
• You’re a bigger rider and want a platform that matches your size.
• You land tricks and want an easier, more effortless recovery. This is why a lot of our top riders choose the 4’2” even though they could handle the 4’0” no problem. It’s not a beginner board. It’s the board that lets you land hard and stay on your feet.
• You ride smaller wakes and want stability over looseness.
Still not sure?
Go 4’2”. It’s the more versatile board, our top riders ride it for a reason, and you can always size down once you know exactly what you want out of a board. The 4’0” is a tool for a specific feel. The 4’2” is the board that does almost everything well.
