What is the Material for Wind Sail and Wind Foil
Both wind sails and wind wings are designed to capture wind energy, then the material are same in general.
First of all, the materials of windsurfing boards, kites, wind foils and wing sails are all polyester, which is also an elastic fiber and has the best elasticity among chemical fiber fabrics.
On the other hand, polyester has excellent wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and UV resistance, and bleach and oxidants will not cause it to decompose and mold.
Currently, they use slightly harder polyester and slightly softer tarpaulin materials, both of which are polyester fibers.
How to Use Wind Sail and Wind Foil
In terms of usage, wind sails and wind wings are used to harness wind power for water-based activities. Wind sailors and foiling windsurfers are attached to a board (such as a windsurfing board or a hydrofoil board) and are controlled by the user to navigate across the water. The basic principle of using the wind to move forward is the same for both.
But wind sails are more commonly associated with traditional windsurfing. They require a certain level of skill to operate effectively, especially in terms of tacking and jibing. Wind wings, on the other hand, are relatively new and are often used in a more free-form style. They are easier to pick up for beginners as they offer more stability and are less reliant on complex maneuvers.
For these activities, other equipment are also necessary, such as wetsuit, life jacket, gloves, surfboard, sailboard, …… etc.
Where to Use Wind Sail and Wind Foil
They are all popular in coastal regions with strong winds, such as the west coast of the United States, Australia, and parts of Europe, especially for the summer months in most regions, the demand for wind sails and wind wings increases significantly.
Sometimes the spring and autumn are also very welcome for players of wind sails and wind foils after they wear high end surfing wetsuit and gloves to keep warm.
