  • There seems to be an art to choosing your foil board these days. We are all looking for the best board and it seems to be ever evolving, but my best advise right now is to get on a Midlength, in the light winds, in the high winds and ESPECIALLY in the waves. My go to is the following:
    SabFoil 90L Torpedo
    Length - 6'1'' / 1872,3 mm
    Width - 19,51'' / 495,5 mm
    Thickness - 5,57'' / 141,5 mm
    I hope you found these tips helpful when looking for your next board.
    Be sure to use CAITY5 if you are hoping to purchase any sabfoil gear at

    What size am I looking at in your video? I just ordered a 72 L Omen Flux. This is 22" wide and 5' 1" length made in the Appletree factory.

      In the video I have the 90L Torpedo. It’s 19.5” wide and 6’1 in length. Appletree is meant to be great and with less litres that will be a super fun board! Personally I would suggest slightly narrower

      @@CaitlinBaxter Actually I'm somewhat a beginner intermediate. 32 years windsurfing, with 12 years kitefoiling I picked up winging pretty fast with all my jibes, toeside riding, on-foil. I'm struggling to learn this smaller board and I've returned to an easier flat water launch to figure out the Stinkbug

      72 L Omen Flux is 5'7" length.

      @@kippywylie I think you have gone a really good direction with the 72L then. I would even recommend going up in Literes! As long as your not wanting to jump yet. My 90L is my favourite at the moment because once it’s in flight you don’t notice the extra litres. It just equals more flight time, thus more waves! The DW shape keeps the more intermediate/advanced speed and agility but allows you to pump up easy and transition easier
