The Osprey 1850 is a mid-size carbon front wing with a wooden core, built for wing foilers and kite foilers moving from first flights into confident foiling. With 1850 cm² of surface area and a moderate 7.0 aspect ratio, it gives early lift without feeling slow once you're up.
Who it's for
- Riders 70–95 kg learning to foil (kite or wing)
- Lighter riders (60–75 kg) wanting extra stability in chop
- Typical wind range: 12–20 knots
Why this size
1850 cm² is the "learn here" wing in the Osprey lineup: enough surface to pop out of the water at lower speeds (what you need when you're learning), while the 7.0 aspect ratio keeps glide efficient once you're flying. The 1120 mm span tracks stable without being unwieldy in chop.
Specifications
- Surface area: 1850 cm²
- Span: 1120 mm
- Thickness: 26.0 mm
- Aspect ratio: 7.0
- Construction: carbon layup over wooden core

Common questions
Who is the Osprey 1850 sized for?
The Osprey 1850 (1850 cm², AR 7.0) suits 70-90 kg progression. Typical wind range: 12-18 kt. Mid-aspect freeride. Forgiving, lifts early, predictable carve. Default recommendation for most progressing riders.
Is the Osprey 1850 good for beginners?
Beginners should start on the largest wing they can fit their conditions, since lift-off is easier and mistakes cost less time in the water. This is one of the larger wings in the range and is well suited to early progression sessions.
What tail wing pairs with the Osprey 1850?
Most riders pair the Osprey 1850 with a Stab 220 (low-speed lift, easiest to learn on) or a Stab 180 Carve (more turning feel) for general use. The Stab 180 Glide pairs well for downwind and high-aspect setups, while the Stab 145 or 130 Carve pair with smaller, faster front wings for advanced freeride and surf.
Can I swap the Osprey 1850 for a different size?
Yes. Subscriptions include free swaps via Gear Swap, post your current piece by Monday and the new piece ships Tuesday from our Tarifa workshop. There is no resale or repurchase, you just change what you ride. FoilCare protection covers normal wear so swap returns are straightforward.
