The Aria Wing Foil Boards from the manufacturer Tahe (formerly Bic) have been developed to offer beginners a steep learning curve and plenty of room for progression. Stability on and off the foil should be the key to effortless take-off and quick learning success. Tahe offers the Aria model in two versions:
With its flat bottom curve, the Aria 5'11" hardboard is designed to enable an easy take-off, while the bevelled edges ensure a forgiving ride and gently lift the board back into the air in the event of unintentional touchdowns. According to the manufacturer, the Biax carbon construction should be particularly durable and stiff and ensure the best responsiveness. The board is available as a 5'11 with a volume of 120 litres for 1449 euros.
The Aria 6'2 Air, an inflatable concept with a volume of 140 litres, could be even more interesting for beginners to wingfoiling.
The inflatable Aria 6'2 Air has a similar shape and design to the fixed Aria 5'11, but is easy to transport and store thanks to its inflatable construction. The Aria 6'2 Air was developed for easy use by beginners, but it should also offer enough potential for advanced riders.
The Tahe Aria 6'2 Air also comes with straps, a repair kit and a bag for transport and is priced at 1099 euros.
