You should replace or purchase new foil parts when performance, safety, or fit are no longer optimal. If you notice cracks, dents, or “soft spots” in your mast, fuselage, or wings, it’s best to replace them. Corrosion, stripped threads, loose connections, or increased flex are also clear signs. If you hear creaking or squeaking under load, check immediately, this often indicates wear on inserts or bushings.

Your riding style can also change: if you want earlier lift, better upwind stability, or more control at higher speeds, upgrading your wing, stabilizer, or mast profile is a smart move. Always check compatibility (bolt pattern, thickness, length, brand-specific fittings) and use stainless steel screws with the correct size and torque. Not sure what to choose?

Yes, there are universal foil repair kits, but it’s important to know what exactly you want to fix. Small damages to the mast, fuselage, or wings, such as scratches or hairline cracks, can often be repaired yourself using an epoxy or carbon repair kit. These kits usually include epoxy resin, hardener, sandpaper, and sometimes carbon or fiberglass cloth. For aluminum parts, there are also specific kits designed to prevent corrosion and restore solid connections.

Universal kits are great for quick fixes, especially during trips or holidays. However, for larger damage to carbon wings or fuselages, we recommend professional repair. That way you can be sure your foil stays safe and strong, ready for your next session. Curious about our repair department? Click here.

The best way to store your foil is clean, dry, and well-protected. After every session, rinse all parts with fresh water to remove salt and sand, especially around connections and threads. Dry everything thoroughly before storing, even stainless steel screws can corrode over time if left wet.

Disassemble the mast, fuselage, and wings where possible to avoid stress on the joints. Store your gear in a foil bag or with protective covers to prevent scratches and impacts (you can find them above). Keep your foil flat or upright, but never under pressure or with weight on top. Choose a dry, cool place out of direct sunlight, since UV and temperature changes can affect materials. This way, your foil stays in perfect condition and ready for your next session.
