DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Design and Use
The compact shape packs more volume into a smaller footprint, limiting the wetted surface area while maintaining lift. You'll feel a direct connection between your feet and the foil, which is useful for your first pumping efforts and for carving tight transitions. The beveled nose and chamfered tail make touchdowns smoother, helping you build confidence when recovering from touchdowns.
Forward Geometry Technology
Forward Geometry positions the foil boxes further forward to reduce swing weight and boost responsiveness in turns. On the water, you'll feel the board pivot more easily around the foil, which helps you get back up to speed quickly after a maneuver. This configuration remains compatible with most foil systems on the market, giving you the freedom to set up your preferred configuration.
Construction and Reinforcements
The construction features a high-density foam core, PVC reinforcements, and two carbon stringers. The outer shell combines carbon and Dyneema fabric to increase impact resistance while maintaining good stiffness. The board integrates foil boxes bonded to the I-beam carbon stringers for a more rigid structure and precise force transmission underfoot.
Pad, Inserts, and Transport
A high-density EVA deck pad provides excellent grip and comfort for long sessions. Footstrap inserts let you customize your stance to your riding style. Boards from 70L and up include an integrated handle for easy carrying, even with the foil removed. These details make the board practical on the beach and when rigging up.
On-Water Performance
The optimized volume distribution makes for smooth take-offs and gentler touchdowns. Once flying, you'll find great longitudinal stability for control as you get on foil, plus responsive acceleration when you load up the board. The blend of its shape and Forward Geometry makes it easy to correct your line when exiting a turn.
Sizes and Selection
The range runs from 4'2" (34L) to 6'2" (135L), accommodating everyone from smaller riders to those needing more volume for light wind. Choose a smaller size if you want more maneuverability and have your pumping dialed. Go for a higher volume if you want an easier start and more stability on the water.
