Wake Foiling Vs. Wake Surfing | What Are the Differences?

In this comprehensive comparison video, we bring you two thrilling water sports—Wake Surfing and Wake Foiling. We dive deep into how these two ways of riding differ from each other, as well as what they have in common.

Starting with a session on the first wake, we take you behind the scenes of wake surfing, and then to wake foiling, done by a second rider on the wake right behind us. We dive into where you can ride the wake with each sport, highlighting the versatility of wake foiling that allows riders to conquer not just the first wake, but the second, third, and even further back.

We also delve into the accessibility of both sports. If you can wake surf, you stand a good chance of being able to wake foil, though foiling comes with its own unique challenges. We provide insights into what it takes to get up on the board for both wake surfing and foiling, noting the difference in weight distribution due to the extra lift provided by the foil.

Finally, we break down the costs associated with both sports, where wake foiling, including the board and foil, may set you back around a thousand dollars. We note that you can enjoy wake foiling behind almost any boat, while wake surfing demands a specific wakeboard boat for the best experience.
