Foiling has changed the way people experience the water.
From high-performance sailing to wing foiling and kite foiling, modern water sports are becoming faster, more technical and more demanding. With increased speed comes the need for equipment that provides the right balance of performance, comfort and protection.
The gear that works for traditional sailing may not always be suitable when you are travelling at high speeds above the water.
At BoatCrewGear, we help sailors and water sports athletes understand the equipment choices that matter most. Whether you are getting started with foiling, upgrading your performance gear or looking for better protection, our team is always available to answer questions and offer advice.
We believe choosing the right gear is a personal decision. The best setup depends on your experience, your sport, your conditions and how you want to use your equipment.
Our Foiling & Performance Water Sports Guides are designed to help you make informed choices.

FAQ
What gear do I need for foiling?
Foiling equipment depends on the type of foiling you do. Common essentials include appropriate boards, wings or sails, safety equipment, protective gear and suitable clothing.
Do I need an impact vest for foiling?
Many foilers choose impact vests because higher speeds can result in harder falls. An impact vest provides additional protection compared with flotation-only equipment.
What is the best impact vest for foiling?
The best impact vest depends on your sport, fit requirements and personal preference. Look for a balance of protection, mobility and comfort.
Is foiling dangerous?
Like any high-performance water sport, foiling involves risk. Appropriate equipment, training and safety preparation help reduce risk and improve confidence.
What should I wear for wing foiling?
Wing foiling clothing depends on water temperature and conditions. Options may include wetsuits, technical layers, impact protection and accessories such as gloves and footwear.

Yes. BoatCrewGear provides advice online and at Australian pop-up shops. We can help you understand different equipment options and choose gear suited to your activity.
