Windsurf foiling has not only expanded the range of use of the boards enormously, but has also made areas interesting that might have seemed too boring for the classic windsurfer. Many lakes in Germany or, as here, Lac Monteynard in the French Alps have suddenly regained their appeal.

You can't exactly say that windsurfing alone isn't varied enough, but the foil has added a few more facets to the magic. Many windsurfers have broadened their horizons, even in combination with a wing or even without wind as a propulsion system - just take a look at our gallery for something new.

In the special surf edition on the topic of foiling, we show you all aspects of this fascinating flying technique - from wind foiling and wings to downwind and pump foiling. In the Foil Edition, we also take a look at the bigger picture: How do foils work in sailing - from the small moth to the big America's Cupper? And what fascinates a professional sailor like Erik Heil about wing foiling?
