Loco is a collaboration between BSUPA instructor and UK competition paddle surfer Joe Thwaites and legendary windsurfing shaper Bouke Becker from Witchcraft Sailboards, Fuerteventura. Our mission was to design and manufacture sub 10,' lightweight yet bulletproof SUPs that were easily transportable and would work in a variety of ways dependent upon rider weight and ability. Our brand is predominantly aimed at paddle surfers looking for a performance-based alternative to the 'usual suspects'. However we do have a feature driven entry level board which also works as a big guy's wave board. The boards have been developed to work in fluky European conditions, pulling from Joe's experience of teaching hundreds of people to paddlesurf in the UK and Fuerteventura alongside his own quest for the ultimate board. Alongside our range of production boards, we're also offering a custom service with Bouke at the helm so please contact us if you'd like a quote. We're currently recruiting team riders so give Joe a call if you'd like to be considered. Sponsorship &/or custom boards available at cost for a limited period. If you're interested in becoming a distributor please get in touch.

We often get asked about dimensions vs stability for wing foiling which is particularly pertinent for beginners - so here's an infographic to simplify things for those contemplating having a shot of this infectious sport.

If you want ultimate stability and minimum swing weight Loco have you covered in the 2 main sizes 95% of beginners learn on.

Don't be fooled by bodyweight + 30L if you're light, standing on 105L speed needle might work on flat water but soon as you get on the sea in some swell you'll find it nigh impossible to stand up and will soon get dis-heartened. There is no shame is starting on slightly bigger than 'recommended' and just look at the finish on our wing foil boards 😍💨🔥

🪁 First flights are meant to feel wobbly.

The useful bit is learning how to stay calm long enough for the board to build speed. Keep your weight slightly forward, knees soft and your eyes up. Flat water and a steady breeze make a huge difference.

What helped your first proper flight click?

Is it just us or are lady prone foilers less visible here in the UK? 🤔

Maybe it's the cold water, cost of the equipment or they just don't get it?

We'd love to hear from any UK prone foilers in the comments ⬇️
