THE WIDE RIDE WITH REAL GLIDE
THIN RAILS ON WIDE BOARDSYou will sense the trademark thin rails biting into the wave just like a smaller board and let you maneuver off the top and in bottom turns in ways not expected.The thin rails mean you need less e ort to turn on the rail, as there is less volume holding the board back from sinking into the turn.
SHORT NOSE OUTLINE
Makes it easier to pivot turn and fit in the critical section of the wave without catching the nose.NOSE KICKPrevents the nose from diving when getting into waves and paddling in choppy water.
FLAT ROCKERIn the center provides efficient glide and speed on flats.
FLAT STANDING AREAAllows to have a wider stance for extra stability in chop.
MODERATE TAIL KICKAllows for tighter turning when standing back on the tail.
WIDE ROUNDED TAILImproves stability when stepping on the board to turn. It also gives release out of turns.
MONO TO DOUBLE CONCAVE BOTTOMProvides speed to catch the wave and then has sensitive rail-to-rail turning from the midpoint.
CHANNEL TAILMakes it easier to carry speed and hold through maneuverers.
SIDE FIN BOXESAre positioned closer to the rail for quicker response in turns. Minimal change yet a big improvement.
FIN SET UPThruster fin set up provides comfortable straight-line tracking on flat and gives drive and control in surf.
Pocket Rocket allows both thruster and quad set up. Quad fin set up uses 4 side fins and gives fast acceleration and instant down the line speed as it does not have a drag from the larger centre fin.
NEW SELF-VENTILATING VALVEA self-ventilating air valve is available on the board. This valve is self-ventilating so, it should not be touched or removed – otherwise, you are at risk of damaging the valve system.

WINGBOARD FOIL
High Performance Board for Wingfoiling10 x CLIMATE POSITIVEThe new Wingboard range takes design inspiration from our high-performance SUP foil boards and Olympic class Windsurf foil boards – combining the speed and efficiency of foiling with the power of the wind.
The aim of the Wingboard Foil is to give you maximum performance in a small size while catering to your level, from beginner to expert.
JOIN THE LATEST INNOVATION!
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.RECESSED DECKSignificantly 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.
BOXY RAILSPack the volume where you need it, increasing the float and stability so you can ride a narrower and shorter board.
ROUND NOSEMakes it incredibly forgiving on touch downs as the nose bounces and skims off the large surface area, not sticking and slowing you down.
DRAINAGE CHANNELSAt the tail of the board lets the water drain out immediately once foiling.
HIGH VOLUME TAILBoosts the overall float to ride such small boards.
FLAT TAIL ROCKERAnd sharp rails forward increase ground speed until take off.
CHANNEL BOTTOMThat get deeper towards the tail helps to pump, rock the board into release and also helps for stability.
CUTAWAY TAILAllows the board to release that much earlier and reduces the rails from catching through turning.
NEW FOOTSTRAP INSERTSThe new 18cm distance between the inserts allows you to have a wider footstrap span for better trim and control while foiling since you can micro-adjust your position.
NEW EXTRA LONG FOOTSTRAP• A new larger foot strap that has a wider spread and it can also be made shorter, using different positions, for those who want the security necessary to launch into the air.
• Our new XL footstraps come with Blue Carbon. It can also be purchased aftermarket for Lite Tech and ASAP.
FOIL POSITIONIs optimised to provide early lift for fast take offs and gives a very balanced trim when up and riding.
CARRY HANDLEThe carry handle is moved to the bottom of the board to avoid interfering when foiling, yet still easy to carry.
NEW SELF-VENTILATING VALVEA self-ventilating air valve is available on the board. This valve is self-ventilating so, it should not be touched or removed – otherwise, you are at risk of damaging the valve system.
