Foil wing, wing surfer, surf wing, wing foil. These are all different names for the same piece of sports equipment.

Wing foiling as a sport consists of standing on a paddleboard that uses a hydrofoil. And at the same time holding a wing to catch the wind.

The world’s first wing foiling competition only took place last year.
