I find windsurfing and windfoiling puts or strain on my legs than winffoiling.
Too bad my wingfoiling skills are soooooo...far behind.

69 years old and 38 sessions on wingfoil after decades of windsurfing. Here is your number 1 tip for knees: GET A GOOD PAIR OF KNEE PADS! You will sped a lot of time on your knees at first but it gets better. My buddies and I like these: Nisrok https://www.amazon.com/Neoprene-Compression-Weightlifting-Powerlifting-Basketball/dp/B07Z7RKGBN/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=1Z7YCIQLVZ9NF&keywords=knee+sleeves+nisrok&qid=1680231399&sprefix=knee+sleeves+nisrok%2Caps%2C159&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&smid=A3NJYU1QJ8ONF4&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUFWVEhKUzRUV1JLSjgmZW5jcnlwdGVkSWQ9QTA4NTQzMTIxQ1ZNMzRTTFJFRkJOJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTAwMDYwMzUyOVVNNDVXS1NIMENOJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfYXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==

Only problem with knees was using a windsurf board with rough deck.
Once on a full pad wingboard, easy foiling, but hardly ever, even at 100+ days, wind where I am and when I'm out there.
I get twice as much wind when winDfoiling.
