What Waydoo EVO Wing is Best for Beginners?
The Voyager G1500 and Voyager C1500 are the best wings for beginners. Large, slow, stable and friendly. Expect to learn in minuets with these wings and the Waydoo EVO.
Waydoo EVO Voyager G1500 Vs. Voyager C1500.
The 1500 Voyager wings, with their medium aspect and balanced design, stand out as the most accessible and most stable wings for the Waydoo EVO. These wings, which perform best with a consistent power source like the motor, are ideal for beginners and heavier riders. They offer a low-speed take-off and exceptional stability, allowing you to maintain control even at high speeds. While stable and efficient, the larger carbon and fiberglass wings are not as nimble as the 1100 Voyager wings, especially in surf or wake applications.
Waydoo EVO Voyager Carbon Vs. Fiberglass Wings
Designed for learning, the Voyager C1500 and Voyager G1500 wings have unique advantages. The Voyager C1500 offers a sharper response due to its stiff carbon construction, making it ideal for those who prefer a more responsive wing. On the other hand, the Voyager G1500 provides a damper feel and a little snap on hard turns, making it a more affordable option due to its fiberglass construction. Both wings offer more efficiency but also more drag than the nimble 1100 Voyager wings, and they do not glide unpowered, unlike their higher-aspect cousins in the glider series. This comparison will make you feel more informed and knowledgeable about the wings you're considering.

Waydoo EVO Glider G1500 Vs. Glider C1500.
The glider wings are higher, meaning they provide more glide, as the name implies. The turns will be broader and more arching due to the longer wingspan. They have a slightly higher take-off speed than the Voyager 1500 wings but require less energy in unpowered situations. For example, if you like to practice pumping your foil, these are a great option to cut the power and work on that. The higher aspect of the glider wings allows for more efficient gliding, which can be beneficial for experienced riders looking for a more challenging ride.
The carbon vs. fiberglass wings are about response and stiffness. Carbon transfers energy faster and more effectively. If you want higher performance, opt for carbon; if you want to save money, fiberglass is still responsive but more damp.

Which Waydoo EVO Voyager wing should I buy?
The 1100 wings are the sweet spot for performance, glide, and maneuverability. The 1100 series is the recommended wing set for intermediate and advanced riders. It is agile and efficient in the waves, perfect for sharp, fast, exciting turns. While these are not the recommended beginner wings, we find it possible to learn on 1100 if you are okay with spending extra time learning and falling your first few sessions. You are effectively trading efficiency and stability for maneuverability.
Waydoo EVO Glider Tail Wing Vs. Surf Wing.
The glider tail wing is the easier stabilizer wing and the standard paring. It is set for riding in flat conditions and general freeride. The Surf Tail Wing is optimized for wave riding, so expect a looser feel and a better stand when riding waves or in the wake.
