DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Construction and Ride Feel
The titanium core, wrapped in high-modulus carbon, delivers noticeable stiffness when you load it up, without making the fuselage heavy. On the water, this translates to a solid, stable feel at high speeds and excellent power transfer between the mast and the front wing. This gives you confidence on fast runs and helps you carve precise lines.
360° Connection and Load Distribution
The 360° HEX fitting for the mast-to-front-wing connection increases the contact area and distributes loads more effectively. In practice, this gives you a solid feel through bottom turns and reduces unwanted flex when you accelerate, which is essential when you're pushing the foil for more speed.
Durability in Saltwater Environments
Using titanium nuts and screws significantly reduces corrosion, a real advantage if you ride in salt water often. This means less maintenance is required, and all the connections will stay secure over time.
Adjustments for Fine-Tuning Your Setup
The polycarbonate Pro shims allow you to fine-tune the stabilizer's angle. We recommend using them to adjust the foil's lift and responsiveness to suit the conditions and your skill level, making the fuselage truly adaptable to your personal preferences.
Size and Usage Choices
The 70 cm version provides more lift and comfort, making it great for beginners or lightwind sessions. The 60 cm balances stability and maneuverability for a wide range of uses. The 50 cm prioritizes responsiveness and tight turns, ideal for advanced riders and more technical conditions.
Assembly and Ease of Use
The simplified stabilizer attachment system eliminates the need for extra shims for basic assembly, making for quick setup before each session. For advanced adjustments, the Pro shims are still available.
