KEY FEATURES

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 optimized 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.

*Footstraps do not come with 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.
