At Swift Foiling we challenged ourselves to Build the best foil boards on the market
Built better
- Epoxy vacuum construction
- Full Carbon layup - stiff and light
- Carbon renforced foil mount
- Pigmented epoxy finish - no chipping paint
- Optimised volume distribution
And bring them to you in the most economical way possible
The big name manufacturers design their products in Europe or Maui, but build them in the Far East (Thailand, China or Vietnam). The boards are transported by container to an importer, then by truck to a retailer and then sold to you.
Designers, builders, importers and retailers all need their cut and the product gets marked up many times. The boards are built to a price, as any extra dollar spent on construction becomes 3 or 4 dollars on the sales price.
We do it differently – we aim to make 250 boards a year. We have small premises, low head count and we sell direct to you. No middlemen involved. We can afford to use top quality components whilst keeping our pricing fair.
Giving you the best boards at the best prices.
NO MIDDLEMEN
Deal direct and cut out the middle men!
MINIMAL TRANSPORT MILES
No ships from the Far East, no warehouses to keep warm, no trucks and shops.
FAST MANUFACTURING
Made in a week - stock always replenishing.

Angus
Co-Founder
When Angus started Swift Foiling, he swapped a life at sea as a superyacht captain for a life where he could spend more time on the water for himself. These days, the ocean is still very much at the centre of his life — just on his own terms.
Growing up on Hayling Island, with some of the UK’s best kitesurfing and windsurfing right on his doorstep, it was almost inevitable that he’d end up on the water. He started kitesurfing at 14 and spent the next 15 years getting out whenever the conditions and his schedule allowed.
In recent years, kiting has given way to winging and, more recently, parawinging. Once he discovered foiling, he was hooked. Now, when he’s not testing the latest Swift prototypes, he’s usually looking for the next opportunity to get on the water and spend more time on foil.
Away from the water, Angus is rarely found sitting still. You’ll usually find him in his shed making e-bikes, machining parts on the lathe or fabricating something with the welder.
That hands-on approach is a big part of what he brings to Swift — a practical obsession with making things, testing them and figuring out how to make them better.
Dom
Co-Founder
Dom’s passion for design started in the water off Hayling Island. Summers spent watching his older cousins build wakeboard winches, bungee boards and hydrofoils sparked a fascination with making things and finding ways to make them work better.
In the summer of 2010, Dom had his first go at foiling on a homemade foil. It didn’t quite stick at the time, and it wasn’t until the arrival of winging years later that he picked foiling back up — this time, he was hooked.
He’s always been the kind of person who gets consumed by an idea. Once something catches his attention, he’ll happily spend hours in the workshop turning it from a concept into something he can actually ride.
That passion led Dom to study Mechanical Engineering at university, where he developed a particular interest in materials and composite design. His studies included Composite Design and Failure of Materials and Components — knowledge that has become a big part of how we approach board design and construction today.
Outside the workshop, Dom is happiest on the water, whether that’s foiling, sailing or fishing. He particularly enjoys long downwind missions, spending hours exploring the coastline and chasing the next run.
Today, Dom combines his engineering background, obsession with design and love of riding to develop the boards we make at Swift — always looking for ways to make them work better, ride better and push what’s possible.
