Some riders “get it” right away, while others struggle, this is much down to choosing the right gear and understanding the basics technical aspects.
Our target is an early and easy take-off, superb balance while riding, easy touch down with fast relaunch.
THE SHAPE
To get started we need stability and since volume works on leverage, the further away the volume is from your feet, the more stability it creates. We placed the volume in the rails, at the square nose and at the little “platform” at the tail of the board. Stability is also created by having the feet as close to the foil as possible. We do not want to foil with “High Heels”, so the thinner a board is, the better it rides.
ROUND NOSE
Makes it incredibly forgiving on touchdowns as the nose bounces and skims off the large surface area, not sticking and slowing you down.
RECESSED DECK
Significantly improves stability as you have a lower centre of gravity. It also brings you closer to the foil for more control when up and riding.
THE BOXY RAILS
Pack the volume where you need it, increasing the float and stability so you can ride a narrower and shorter board.
FLAT TAIL ROCKER
And sharp rails forward increase ground speed until take off.
CUTAWAY TAIL
Allows the board to release that much earlier and reduces the rails from catching through turning.
FOIL POSITION
Is optimised to provide early lift for fast takeoffs and gives a very balanced trim when up and riding.
DRAINAGE CHANNELS
At the tail of the board lets the water drain out immediately once foiling.
HIGH VOLUME TAIL
Boosts the overall float to ride such small boards.
CHANNEL BOTTOM
That get deeper towards the tail helps to pump, rock the board into release, and also helps for stability.
FOOTSTRAP INSERTS
Make it easy to know where to position the feet and always be in the right spot to trim the board.
CARRY HANDLE
The carry handle is moved to the bottom of the board to avoid interfering when foiling, yet still easy to carry.
LITE TECH
LIGHT, STRONG, AFFORDABLE
- Extra rigidity with the introduction of unidirectional stringer bands and solid with added rail / nose reinforcements.
- Australian pine on standing area for extra impact resistance and rigidity in the most critical area.
- All inserts have added high-density foam reinforcements.
NEW BLUE CARBON
LIGHTWEIGHT, 2x FULL CARBON, STRONG AND DURABLE
- Full wrap of 150g Biaxial Carbon for its durable skin and strength, combined with a full UD Carbon wrap for additional stiffness and total breakage strength.
- Extra glass reinforcements are positioned in the critical standing area to prevent heel dents and for extra strength over sharp edges.
- New extra reinforced foil box uses a large PVC plate sandwiched between 2 x strong glass layers for the highest total breakage strength.
NEW 7’0” x 30” – 140 LLength: 7’0” / 213 cm Width: 30” / 76 cm Is the most stable size for heavier riders up to 110kg and those wanting extra stability. The longer length increases the glide and speed to get flying. Available constructions: Available construction: • Blue Carbon • Lite Tech |
NEW 6’7” x 28” – 115 LLength: 6’7” / 200 cm Width: 28” / 71 cm Is the mid-size, an ideal balance between stability, glide, and maneuverability for riders up to 95kg. Available construction: • Blue Carbon • Lite Tech |
NEW 5’8″ x 25″ – 88 LLength: 5’8” / 173 cm Width: 25” / 64 cm Short length and narrow width at 25” is a performance size for intermediate to advanced riders up to 85kg. Available constructions: • Blue Carbon • Lite Tech |
NEW 4’6″ x 25″ – 69 LLength: 4’6” / 137 cm Width: 25” / 64 cm Is the smallest size and most manoeuvrable model for advanced and lightweight riders up to 75kg. Available constructions: • Blue Carbon • Lite Tech |
