Flysurfer wings compared: which model fits your riding

Flysurfer builds wings the way it builds kites: German engineering, a lot of attention to materials, and clear separation between models rather than one shape in five badges. Here is what each one is for.

Mojo — the balanced all-rounder

Built for surf and everyday riding. Two separate inflation valves make the frame stiff and remove the hose that can fail mid-session; the centre of pressure sits forward and stays put, so the wing hangs quietly overhead while you concentrate on the wave. Sizes 2.8 to 7.0 m².

Suits: beginners in larger sizes, wave riders, and anyone who values predictability over top speed.

Tao — light wind and easy lift

A wing designed to get you flying early. More projected area working for you in marginal conditions, which is the difference between a session and an afternoon on the beach.

Suits: lighter riders, big-volume boards, and anyone whose home spot is under-blessed with wind.

Pow — compact and manoeuvrable

A wing for riders who want responsiveness: quick handling, tight turns, and a bias towards control rather than raw power.

Suits: confident riders and smaller sizes in strong wind.

Avid — performance freeride

The stiffer, faster end of the range. Rewards technique and repays it with more range at the top end.

Suits: experienced riders who already know what they want from a wing.

Zap — the pared-back option

Light, simple and easy to handle, at the accessible end of the line.

Suits: first wings and travel quivers where weight matters.

How to choose a size

Start from your weight and normal wind. For a 75 kg rider: 5.2 m² covers roughly 15–22 knots as a single wing, 4.5 m² handles stronger days, and 6.2–7.0 m² rescues light ones. Lighter riders shift a size down, heavier a size up.

Most riders end up with two wings about 1.5 m² apart, which covers nearly everything a normal season throws at them.

Wing before foil, or foil before wing?

Neither, in a sense — the wing is the easy part. Handling it takes an hour or two; learning to fly the foil takes several sessions. Buy the wing for the wind you get and spend your attention on the foil.

Frequently asked questions

Which Flysurfer wing is best for a beginner?

Mojo or Zap in a generous size. Predictability and low weight matter far more at the start than performance.

Do I need a stiffer wing as I improve?

Usually yes — stiffness turns into directness, which experienced riders feel and beginners mostly do not.

How many wings do I need?

One to learn, two to ride most days.

Can I demo before buying?

At our station in Mui Ne, yes — wing and foil rental is 20 € per hour, and it is the cheapest way to find out what suits you.

The Flysurfer range is in our catalogue. Tell us your weight and typical wind and we will size it honestly rather than upsell — write to us. Learning from scratch? See wingfoil lessons in Mui Ne.
