Checklist

Forgetting something important like your wetsuit, pump, foil screws or any other essential item at home has surely happened to all surfers at some point. Before heading to the beach or on a trip, it’s a good idea to go through a checklist. Here are the essentials for a day trip and longer vacation.

Not everything on the list may be essential and everyone packs according to their needs. The list may also be missing something, and comments / notes are always welcome.

RENTAL

Are you a beginner or considering your next purchases?

Beginners need a large board and a foil. Some, especially those coming from other surfing disciplines, may only need these larger beginner equipment only a few times. Renting can be a good choice.

Surfing is faster with smaller, lighter equipment. Are you considering, for example, how small a front wing you can fly with, or how much more agile a foil becomes with a smaller rear wing?
