It has a curved shape on the underside which has the effect of pushing you upwards. This means that the front wing is attached to the fuselage centreline, but at the same time, it protrudes out from under the fuselage. When the front wing rises, it pushes the front of the fuselage upwards and therefore your board.

What are foils on a boat?
A foil is a wing positioned on either side of the boat and profiled so that, as it moves through the water, it generates a lifting force that acts on its support.
What is reaching?
Realisation: « When the monohull deviates from the wind’s axis by between 60 and 80 degrees, it gains speed and reduces heeling and the shocks caused by the movement of the waves. « Crosswind: » The boat moves at 90 degrees to the wind. At this speed the boat is always being sprayed, and it’s unbearable on deck.
Who invented foils on boats?
In 1869, Emmanuel Farcot patented a boat with numerous small foils along the hull to reduce drag.
Which Wing foil should I choose?

How fast can foils go?
The strength of the wind (around 16 knots) and the wind angle at which the foils come into action depend on a number of parameters and the type of boat using them.
