The difference in Wings:
> RRD Evo Y27 Wing is the perfect wing for a beginner. This original model of the Evo wing comes with soft handles, is super stable and perfect for getting you those first few flights.
> RRD Wind Wing is a great progressive wing, it has the solid handles for added responsiveness and easier manoeuvres. This wing excels when learning in slightly lighter winds, as it has low-end power and delivers power, control, and early lift. If you value early lift, smooth handling, and a solid feel, the Wind Wing is a great choice as can help you feel balanced —especially paired with a stable board and forgiving foil.
> RRD Evo Y29 Wing is the newest version of the Evo wing and comes updated with new technology and advancements. This wing comes with two solid handles, that can also be interchanged for a boom (additional purchase), it is lighter and stiffer and ultimately more reponsive. Y29 adopts a moderate aspect-ratio wing, striking a sweet spot between lift, speed, and agility; emphasising refined performance: better acceleration, sharper handling, quicker power response.
Why go for a Blaze foil 1250/ 1550?
Blaze is faster, more efficient, and has better glide—ideal for progressing into carving, wave riding, or small jumps. The Blaze’s carbon construction and refined foil shape make it lighter and snappier, especially important for pumping and freestyle.
The Blaze in the smaller front wing sizes is not only a good choice for more intermediate riders, but for beginners who weigh around 65kg or under as this will be a suitable for size for lighter riders learning to wing foil.
Why go for a Universal 1750?
The Universal’s larger surface area of 1750 and thicker profile creates early lift at lower speeds, helping you get flying quickly and consistently. It is very stable and forgiving—ideal for learning pumping, tacks, and gybes, whilst offering a balanced ride and stability while you're learning foot switches or in rougher conditions. This size is perfect for someone around 70kg to 95kg and getting their first foil for learning on or progressing with the winging.
All these packages are suitable for a variety of style and size riders. They each are made up of fantastic, high-quality kit, with varying prices based on your budget available and what you hope to get out of your purchase.
The Y27 package is a great all-rounder for getting into the sport, the wind wing package offers great control and low-end power for lighter days, along with the hard handle on the wing; and the Y29 package is the package suitable for new or experienced riders with all the newest advancements on the kit.
