X-15 equipment for each age division is officially announced!
⚡Here are the key highlights:
• Max wing sizes are set per age group, and riders can have a smaller second wing per age group.
• 5.0, 5.5, 6.0 and 6.5 come without zippers — and the 5.5, 6.0 and 6.5 feature the Ho’okipa airframe.
• 4.0 and 4.5 include zipper tech, letting riders remove around 1m² of sail area.
• Riders can choose between 560, 880 or 1200 front foils for all-wind racing.
All previous equipment will be grandfathered for the 2026 season.
Wingfoiling is evolving fast — and we love it⚡️
That is why we created a One Design Class that keeps the sport accessible, with class rules that allow smart equipment updates as the sport grows.
Next up: 2026 Race Calendar and X-15 World Championships announced soon!

With all the Defi Wing race hype at the moment, let’s talk HOW TO 🏁
Master the Racing Gybe with @romain.ghio on his @x15class setup.
Fast entries, clean transitions, full commitment — here’s how to keep your speed all the way through ⤵️
1. Approach — come in at full speed, fully powered
2. Entry — switch feet early and fast to stay on the foil
3. Body position — stay low, lean into the buoy, eyes looking through the turn
4. Hands — back hand pushes, front hand guides the wing overhead in a smooth arc
5. Carve — drop lower to tighten the turn and hold speed
6. Exit — switch hands, power up, and accelerate out
Stay smooth. Stay committed. Get out there!

With 50+ riders already registered for the Portimão 2026 X-15 Wingfoil Series, we wanted to answer a few common questions and remind everyone that X-15 racing is open to more riders than you might think.
Who can race X-15?
If you can gybe and feel confident in the water, you can race. 🌊
Our events are designed to be accessible, competitive, and fun.
To keep racing exciting for everyone, we will split the fleets, with more technical course options for advanced riders.
Registration reminder
⏳ Free registration ends March 15- link in bio!
🚀 Equipment is provided, so you can simply show up and race.
Red vs White Boards
Yes, the Red 82L Lite Tech boards for 2026 are the exact same design and technology as the White boards used previously.
The class just decided to go with a bold racing red look… a little Ferrari energy on the start line 🏎️🔴
Both colours are allowed in competition.
