DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Lightweight Performance
The Slice Bamboo Foil's Full Bamboo construction gives it a lightweight feel while maintaining essential stiffness. On the water, this translates to getting on a plane earlier and accelerating sharply, making it easy to connect mushy sections with punchy parts of the wave. The ride feel is lively and responsive without being harsh, perfect for linking your turns.
Pop and Aerial Control
The shape, featuring a pronounced rocker kick and thin rails, generates a natural yet powerful pop. Whether you're launching off a wave or sending it in flat water, the board offers excellent control in the air and forgiving landings, giving you the confidence you need to nail those first strapless tricks.
Handling in the Surf
Its compact size and relatively parallel outline make the board incredibly nimble in small to medium waves. The rail-to-tail transition is seamless, while the bottom's double concave and channel provide excellent grip and precision through every turn.
Versatility and Features
The Slice Bamboo Foil is designed as a true two-in-one board for both kite surfing and foiling. It comes equipped with a rear pad, a Futures F4 437 Thruster fin set, inserts for foot straps, and front inserts for a V-strap. A front or middle pad can be added as an optional extra to customize your setup.
Accessibility
Forgiving and playful, this board is perfect for riders looking to progress in strapless riding while still enjoying great upwind performance and easy acceleration. It truly shines in onshore conditions and on less powerful waves.
Pro Tip
We recommend choosing your size based on your build and main discipline: go smaller for maneuverability, or larger for more stability and better low-end performance. For more advice, give us a call on 02 40 61 05 44; we know this shape inside and out.
