The Ultimate Wing Foil Spare Parts Kit | Everything You Need for the Beach

The Ultimate Wing Foil Spare Parts Kit | Everything You Need for the Beach


They say experience is the best teacher and that necessity is the mother of invention. And after blowing a few sessions with forgotten, lost, loaned, broken, or dropped parts, we have learned that we needed to create a kit to cover every contingency that might keep us off the water. Behold: The Ultimate Wing Foil Spare Parts kit.

Why Do I Need This?

Ryan and Jeff have been there, and perhaps you have, too. You're at the beach, you pull out your wing, foil, and board, and then you realize your harness line is still on the big wing you rode last time, which is not the one you grabbed for today's nuking conditions. Or you fumbled a screw, saw exactly where it fell, and then spent the next ten minutes sifting sand before acknowledging it's now a sacrifice to the Spirit of the Beach.

Or maybe it was a buddy of yours. You're out enjoying the stoke together, and then he gets pulled off his board by a gust and puts his foil through his canopy. Ouch! As he paddles in, you wonder if you'd be a jerk to keep riding alone. If only there were some way you could help...

This session-saving kit can fix all those situations and more. We like to think of it as insurance. (Well, we would, if we hadn't actually needed to use it so many times.) It's a game-changer to know right where everything is, and it's one less thing to worry about. And maybe you'll even get to be the hero who saves someone else's session.

What Is It?

We've made a list of all the things we ever wished we had and didn't and the Ultimate Wing Foil Spare Parts Kit is the result. So what's in this magical box of goodness?

  • M6 and M8 board connection hardware (Torx)
  • T-handle T30 Torx driver
  • T-handle T40 Torx driver
  • Wrist wing leash
  • Ozone harness line
  • PKS boom or handle loops
  • 2x Pigtails
  • 2x Pigtails plus ball
  • 2ft black ripstop tape
  • 2ft white ripstop tape
  • Screw lube
  • Pump adaptors:
    • High pressure SUP
    • A2
    • Boston
    • Reedin/Maxx Flow
    • Duotone
  • And of course the case itself

A lot of this stuff is self-explanatory. You've got spare screw and nut hardware and tools to make sure you can attach your board to your mast. A lot of people will leave their foil put together and just attach it to their board at the beach, so that's the hardware that goes missing the most. Or maybe you grabbed your pack of M8 when you needed the M6 for this setup. Now you're covered. There's even room to toss in some Allen keys if your other hardware uses a hex head.

Then you've got the stuff that attaches you to your gear. Any of these things can wear out or accidentally get left on a different wing. Or maybe you borrowed a wing and it didn't have one in the bag. There's a nice wrist leash, a harness line, boom or handle loops, and some pigtails to lark's-head onto.

The harness line is a necessity for longer sessions, so we included a spare. The boom/handle loops will let you attach that harness line to your boom or handle. We really like them because they don't leave an indentation on the grip. And the pigtails are so handy for using a lark's head to attach wing or board leashes to your harness.

The ripstop tape is great for minor repairs or as a temporary fix for larger tears. Remember to get any sand off, rinse the wing if you're in salt water, and make sure it's dry before applying the tape. If you have any questions, call Jeff. He's pretty experienced at patching up his wing at the beach...

The screw lube is nice to have, especially for our salt water friends. It helps protect your hardware from corrosion and makes it easier to get your screws back out.

We also tossed in most any pump adapter you'll need. It's surprising how often we need to lend these out at the beach.

We stowed all this in a really nice case with a handle and a lid that latches securely shut so you can toss it in your vehicle. Then you'll always have it with you when you head out for a session. We put a lot in, but there's still room for you to customize it with anything that you would like to add. Perhaps you want to start keeping all your hardware in here so that everything's together in one spot. Or maybe you'd like to add a spare set of your foil's hardware. We'd love to have included that too, but since it's not universal and there are so many options, it wasn't practical or cost-effective to do. But you can get it as an add-on when you order your kit.

Fill it up and make it your own, and it may save your bacon or make you someone's hero at the beach. Happy foiling, and remember to share the stoke!
