We present the Patrik AIO Foil Backwings.

200 G10 BW

A pure and extreme wingfoil freestyle backwing. No winglets and a different profile for an extremely loose feeling and the most radical turns. Not suitable for windsurfing, except for foil style.

250 Carbon BW

The ultimate backwing for intermediates and advanced riders, both for winging and windsurf foiling. Great turning ability and speed with good control at the same time. Also suitable for beginners and light riders.

280 Carbon BW

The 280 is a backwing for beginners and advanced riders that gives you extra stability and flight control with good speed potential. Recommended with large front wings 2000 and 1600 on the wingfoil or for really heavy riders who want to improve ground speed or need ultra-light wind performance.

320 Carbon BW

The 320 Backwing is the most stable option for beginners in wingfoiling or as a starter setup for dock launch foiling with the 2000 FW. We do not recommend the 320 BW for wingfoiling.

Backwing shimming and trimming instructions:

All our A.I.O. Backwings offer stepless adjustment of the angle of attack. Set a steep angle (+) for maximum flight stability or less angle of attack (-) for more speed and a livelier feel. Don't believe the internet that a steep backwing produces more "power". Try to think of it more as generating more or less downforce (like a rear wing on a Formula 1 car). That's why smart people also call the rear part a stabilizer or stabilizer bar. A larger rear wing angle is equivalent to moving the jib mast forward - that's true - but the bottom line is that a larger angle creates more downforce and more drag, which leads to more flight control and stability... not more "performance" (a flat rear wing works better in light winds than a steep rear wing because it has less drag).

For beginners and more control in jibes, you should select the maximum angle of attack of the backwing and adjust the mast position backwards or the footstraps further forwards accordingly.
Advanced riders select a flatter backwing (-) for more speed or more pop in jumps and adjust the mast forwards or the footstraps further backwards accordingly.
A change in the angle of attack of 1° degree can roughly be translated into 3-6 cm of mast movement or a change in the position of the footstraps.
Advanced riders, but also beginners, can experiment with riding larger backwings flat or smaller backwings steeper to find their perfect setup. Don't overthink it and follow our recommendations above before you start wasting valuable time on the water.
