Wing foiling is the fastest-growing watersport on the south coast — and one of the easiest ways to get up and riding on the water. It is genuinely quicker to learn than kitesurfing. But the single thing that makes or breaks your first sessions is not the wing or the foil: it is the board under your feet. Here is how wing foiling boards work in plain English, and how to make sure your first one is the right one.

Customer Alan Jay reviews the Reedin Snackpack after sessions at the White Dune in Dakhla, Morocco — and why this hybrid board makes perfect sense for Greatstone.

On the 21st of April, the Infinity Sport Kitesurfing community was testing the latest “Game Changer” lineup from Harlem. With a shop full of coffee and a beach full of kites, it was the perfect opportunity for the community to get hands-on with some of the most innovative gear in the industry. Here is the breakdown of how the day went and why these kites are making such a massive splash in the UK scene.

When you’re rigging up on a gusty South Coast morning, the last thing you want to be thinking about is your gear. You want to be thinking about the swell window or that new trick you’re working on. At Infinity Sport Kitesurfing, we’ve seen every type of kiter come through our doors at Greatstone. From the “winter warriors” who never miss a North Sea gale to the summer cruisers, everyone asks the same thing: “What suit should I actually buy?” Here is the honest, rider-to-rider breakdown on how to navigate the rack, including the critical decision on thickness.

Kitesurfing and wing foiling aren’t just sports in the Middle East—they’re a way of life. From the butter-flat lagoons of Oman to the high-tech skylines of the UAE, we know that when the wind kicks in, you need your gear ready to go. At Infinity Sport Kitesurfing, we’ve been the “bridge” for riders across the region for years. We know many of you prefer sourcing high-quality equipment from the UK, but we also know the hesitation: Will it get here? Will I get stung by customs? Is this the right kite for my local spot? Don’t worry, habibi—we’ve got you covered. We aren’t just a shop in the UK; we are specialists in logistics and local conditions from Muscat to Tel Aviv.

We’ve all been there. You’re scrolling through an EU-based mega-store, and you see a shiny new 12m kite for a price that seems too good to be true. You click buy, feeling like you’ve gamed the system. But for one of our Greatstone regulars, “Mark” (name changed to protect the heartbroken), that “bargain” turned into a nightmare. Here is why buying your gear from abroad in 2026 is a gamble that rarely pays off.

For many Londoners, the dream of kitesurfing involves long-haul flights to Egypt, Morocco, or the Canary Islands. But what if we told you that world-class learning conditions are waiting just 70 minutes from the city?

While spots like Southend or Lancing are popular, Greatstone Beach offers the space, safety, and unique conditions that make it the ultimate classroom for beginner kitesurfers.
