What is the right board for Prone Foiling?Updated 2 months ago
To effectively learn Prone Foiling, a specialized Prone Foiling board with about 10 liters more volume than your regular shortboard is recommended. A balanced ratio of length, width, and thickness is essential; additionally, a raised nose design can help prevent nose dives during touchdowns, while a flat rocker is advantageous for catching waves more easily.
The Duotone Crush SLS is an excellent choice—the larger model is suitable for Prone Foiling novices, and transitioning to the smaller model works as soon as your skill level improves. If the board is too square, it becomes challenging to paddle into the waves, but a smaller mid-length board like the smallest Duotone Skybrid SLS can also be a good option.
