We present the Patrik AIO Foil Backwings.
200 G10 BW
A pure and extreme Wingfoil freestyle backwing. No winglets and a different profile for an extremely loose feel and the most radical turns. Not suitable for windsurfing, except for foil style.
250 Carbon BW
The ultimate backwing for intermediate and advanced riders, for both winging and windsurf foiling. Great turning ability and speed with good control. Also suitable for beginners and light riders.
280 Carbon BW
The 280 is a backwing for beginners and intermediate riders, offering you extra stability and flight control with good speed potential. Recommended with large front wings 2000 and 1600 on the Wingfoil or for really heavy riders who want to improve their basic speed or need ultra-light wind performance.
320 Carbon BW
The 320 Backwing is the most stable option for beginners in wing foiling or as an entry-level setup for dock start foiling with the 2000 FW. We do not recommend the 320 BW for wind foiling.
Backwing shimming and trim tips:
All of our A.I.O. backwings offer stepless adjustment of the angle of attack. Set a steep angle (+) for maximum flight stability or less angle of attack (-) for more speed and a livelier feel. Don't believe the internet when it says that a steep backwing generates more "power." Try to think of it more in terms of generating more or less downforce (like the rear wing of a Formula 1 car). That's why smart people call the rear part a stabilizer or stabilizer. A larger rear wing angle is equivalent to moving the jib mast forward—that's true—but ultimately, a larger angle generates more downforce and more drag, which leads to more flight control and stability... not more "power" (a flat back wing works better in light winds than a steep back wing because it has less drag).
For beginners and more control when jibing
,
you should choose the maximum angle of attack for the back wing and adjust the mast position accordingly towards the rear or the foot straps further forward.
Advanced riders choose a flatter back wing (-) for more speed or more pop when jumping and adjust the mast forward or the foot straps further back accordingly.
A change in angle of attack of 1° can be roughly translated into 3-6 cm of mast movement or a change in foot strap position.
Advanced riders, but also beginners, can experiment with riding larger backwings flat or smaller backwings steeper to find their perfect setup. Don't overthink it and stick to our recommendations above before you start wasting valuable time on the water.
