With a wide range of eleven differents volumes, with four
of them having a deep tuttle box option (for tuttle or deeo
tuttle racing foils), there’s enough choices to ensure you
will find a match for you level/program/body type.
Max Width around front foot position and added nose volume gives a more
tolerant pumping and prevent from sinking the nose too easily
Longitudinal deck recess offers grip and forward transmission of the wing
strength. The specific rake for each volume allows an optimized glide and
body position to accelerate before take off
Pinched outline offers optimised flow realase, horizontally (thinner exit) and
vertically (when the tail sinks at pumping) and minimise drag.
Smooth to Sharp rail transition : from smooth rails at the nose (provides a
balanced combo of drive/tolerance while planning) to sharper vertical rails at
the tail ( provides planning skills and water realase at take off )
Foil Rail recess significantly reduces drag generated by the foil base plate.
When the foil is set to the recommended position to the front of the rails the
recess produced its maximum efficiency
Progressive tense rocker line : providing an balanced ratio between glide and
pumping ability. Indeed, as we could describe take off as mix of planning and
pitch angle variation, the rocker line is very important to allow swing and
planning.

Program 35 / 45 L
These small boards are meant to be uses in strong winds, or for medium wind
if it’s for kids or lighter weight riders. The middle front strap option is ideal for
strapped tow in surfing, as well for prone surf foiling. Built strong and light,
these boards will bring extreme maneuvrability, grip and accuracy while
riding. They are the only ones of the range without foil box recess to allow the
use of the electric Foil Drive system.
All our boards are delivered with one V Strap and one classic single
strap. But there’s a trick.
On the left, you can see how our V Strap can be transformed into a
single strap that you can use if needed in the exact middle of the
board, thanks to extra insert options.

Program 55 L
This one is truly all-in-one board, thanks to its very
versatile width of 20’6 inches and moderate length. It
can be used :
- as a prone surf foil board for heavy intermediate
riders, or for light weight beginners
- as a freestyle board for medium weight riders
- as a freeride board which you can push in big
waves with the wing
- as a racing board for light weight riders with the
deep tuttle option
Program 65 / 75 / 85 L
These three volumes are a bigger version of the 55 L. They are for medium and
heavy intermediate riders or simply for beginners who want to step down from
their 100+ L beginner board. Freeride, freestyle, waves, they have it all.
When prone foiling, they will ensure easy paddling / take off for beginners in
small waves thanks to extra volume.
They also come with the deep tuttle option. In addition, the progressive bevels
combined with a pin tail outline garantee smooth touch downs at high speeds.

Program 95 / 105 L
Their length of 5’8.5 and 5’11 feet gives early planning and good pitch stability in the
air, while being still short enough to have great carving abilities.
These two models 95 and 105 L are the right choice for light wind session with medium
/ big foils. Moderate width makes foot switches comfortable, while still allowing
snappy turns and flowy carving.
