Slake you're asking great questions and they're difficult to answer but I'll try. Some of what I can offer is based on experience, some on information from videos and forums and some is probably just crap.

Wingfoiling Progression
Hey wind junkies, I wanted to start a thread on wingfoiling progression . There is quite a bit of relevant information in the original wingfoiling thread, but it's pretty expansive now.
