Best Foil Boards and Foil Sets of 2025

Wake foiling is one of the fastest-growing—and most addictive—ways to ride behind the boat. Whether you're just getting your feet wet or leveling up to full-on flight, having the right gear makes a huge difference. The right foil setup helps you progress faster, ride longer, and have more fun doing it.

Here’s our no-fluff breakdown of the best foil packages in 2025 for every skill level.

🟢 Best Foils for Beginners

Starting out? You need gear that’s stable, forgiving, and built to help you learn fast. Look for a larger wing (more stable = easier to ride), a bigger, more durable board (more surface area = easier balance), and a shorter mast (easier to control = good for slower speeds and smaller waves).

Liquid Force POD Foil Package

Two Ways to Ride. One Solid Setup.

Foil or wakesurf—no need to choose. The POD Foil Package gives you both in one board, no extra gear required.

Why It Works:

• Surf & Foil Ready: Switch between modes in minutes. One board, two sports
• Beginner-Friendly Foil: The Flite 120 wing and 27” mast give you early lift, smooth control, and stability to learn fast.
• Dialed Foot Placement: Textured deck pad helps you find the right stance without guessing.

Best For:

• New foilers who want to learn and level up
• Boat owners looking for versatility without gear clutter
• Families sharing one setup that does it all

Ronix Koal 727 4'8" with Fluid Shift Mast 

Premium performance in a beginner package. The adjustable mast lets you ease into things and level up when you're ready. While this may be on the higher end, all Ronix foil components are compatible with one another. This means you can enjoy your premium board and easily switch to a taller mast and smaller wing as you progress.

Why It Works:

• Beginner-friendly 3-in-1 adjustable mast: 14", 17", and 20"
• Flyweight Pro-inspired construction in the largest size of the 727 model
• Balance front wing delivers lift and confidence

Hyperlite Shuttle + Falcon Foil Kit

Beginner-friendly. Progression-ready. This kit pairs the durable, compression-molded Shuttle board with the Falcon 1200cm² wing, giving first-time foilers a stable, confidence-building ride. The concave deck improves balance and control, while the optional 45cm trainer mast (sold separately) makes learning even smoother.

Why it works:

• Stable platform with smooth edge-to-edge transitions
• Durable build that stands up to repeated use
• Wing size dialed for progression
• Great for families or shared setups

🟡 Top Foils for Intermediate Riders

If you're up and foiling, looking to move to the second wave, it's time to trade stability for performance. Intermediate riders benefit from more maneuverable boards, taller masts, and more responsive wings that carve and pump with precision.

Hyperlite Starship with Falcon 1200 Kit

Hyperlite’s newest board is made for the rider who’s ready to push it. While Hyperlite's foil components are all compatible, we pair it with the Falcon 1200 for an ideal intermediate package.
