Foiling – of all types – continues to grab the attention of those into watersports. Whether wing foiling, downwind foiling, foil surfing, pump foiling, eFoiling, SUP foiling in waves, wind foiling or foil-assisted flying it’s a part of watersports that isn’t going away. If you’ve yet to be converted then you probably will be soon. If you’re already elevated then you’ll know the feeling and be hooked! Here are 7 ways Exit’s watersports accessories and technical watersports gear can help foilers get amongst it and make the most of their riding time.

XTend your foiling time with the XTend windchill blocking top.
The XTend windchill blocking top is one of the newest Exit watersports accessory products. Falling into the technical gear category the XTend top was a long time in the making. Extensive prototyping and testing, however, led to the product we now have.

PU coated for additional warmth the top can be layered up with your existing wetsuit to give an additional barrier and even more warmth. Which is great on colder days. When it’s warmer the XTend top can be used as a stand-alone garment to help fend off the chill. Also, as a foiler, the top can aid impact and help mitigate that dreaded water slap. Layered up you have a degree more impact protection. Which is no bad thing.
The XTend windchill blocking hood for longer and more winter foiling.
Winter, or colder waters and air temperatures, can be a drain for all watersports enthusiasts. Colder conditions can zap strength and bring on fatigue much quicker than you’d expect especially if you’re a beginner or advancing intermediate. Keeping your head warm and toasty is therefore necessary as this’ll help with overall bodily warmth.

When foiling riders get wet but they spend considerable amounts of time in the air, above the water, literally flying. This is prime for windchill taking hold. But fear not! The Exit XTend windchill blocking hood will save the day and keep you flying no matter how harsh the conditions.
Exit’s BUX wetsuit change bucket for the after-sesh win.
When you’ve had a quality session the stoke’s tangible. It’d therefore be a shame to ruin this by having to get changed on cold hard ground. Enter Exit’s BUX wetsuit change bucket! With oversized capacity, the spongy inner change mat (complete with drainage holes) foilers can stand inside while they disrobe in total comfort.

The Exit BUX also has high sidewalls which have been purposely incorporated. Most change robes have a gap around the ankles. The BUX’s sidewalls are high enough to block any wind and rain thereby delivering an even more efficient changing experience. And when you’re done riders can transport their wet kit home without soaking everything else through. The BUX also makes a great carry-all for various bits and bobs for added versatility. Maybe get two then!

Yet more ways to use the XRail with the Exit HUX.
Here at Exit we really have thought about how to make maximum use of the XRail – whether out and about or back at base. Whilst the SUX gives more versatility the HUX adds yet another layer to what’s already an awesome system. Even if we do say so ourselves.

Foiling mishaps and wetsuit fixes.
Every now and again you may come into contact with your foil. Hopefully, this won’t result in too much bodily damage. Unfortunately, foils can nick and tear neoprene material. Thereby putting holes in your wetsuits. In fact, this kind of thing isn’t just limited to foiling as a wetsuit can incur damage in all watersports environments.
