Designs featuring the perfect blend of speed and stability – wrapped in the finest materials and manufacturing processes.
Everything about this high-end wing, stabilizer, mast, and construction is based on balanced speed. Less chord width, and thinner profile than our Balance wing series. A more forgiving lower modulus makeup delivering smoother control than our High Aspect wing series. The perfect hybrid collection for a rider looking to take their journey deep into the distance of the boat, all the while having the discipline with stall speed and consistency. A recent addition to the family is a smaller 1130cm² front wing for smaller riders in any condition or average size riders looking for more of the top end speed and hairpin arcs found in our High Aspect series. Also we created a new mast specific for the Speed series called the Pulse. The Pulse mast won’t quite have the top end speed of our Velo model, but this more affordable option has a consistent tight turning radius with still an efficient natural glide speed. After years and years in the making we are so proud to debut our latest version what we feel is a technological marvel in the world of high-end foiling. Autoclave manufacturing – spread tow carbon fiber with each layer wrapped at a varying degree of angle to increase the rigidity of the torsional properties and a design that lives up to the name Speed. As soon as we started riding this new Shadow Carbon series with a Mod 84 board, we instantly were able to ride as far back as 20 waves from the boat.

SPEED FRONT WING
1130cm²/1330cm²/1530cm²
HIGH ASPECT PERFORMANCE MEETS BALANCE STABILITY.
The bridge between the extra smooth and stable Balance series and the unbridled horsepower of our new High Aspect series. For the rider that prioritizes a little bit of everything in their ride. Created for riders with a foiling background looking for natural glide, pumping efficiency and the secret sauce stability found in our Balance series. Easy to initiate and maintain pumps with a new slightly lower modulus construction. Typically, fast wings are high maintenance and need a lot of attention – and once they don’t have it – they will fade out and the rider’s momentum is gone. We added a concave running through the bottom of the front wing – and this drastically helps keep momentum even at slower speeds or in flat water conditions. Much like its Balance series sibling we also added a little twist on the end of the winglets to keep your flight riding high. Not only can you pump easier with the Speed edition relative to our Balance series – each push generates significantly more energy. A striking hydrodynamic design created to amplify your path of 4th wave adventures. A smaller 1130cm² size will have more agility through a turn, added speed in a straight line – just not quite the natural lift of its bigger brother 1530cm² version, and the 1330cm² the blend of both the personalities.
PULSE MAST
29″
SMOOTHNESS FOUND IN OUR FLUID, REACTIVENESS FOUND IN OUR VELO.
Our latest incubation in the foil laboratory. A height and shape based off our Velo mast – with a construction that is a fusion of carbon and Alloy. What happens when you mix the rhythmic jazz sounds of our Fluid mast and the rock and roll octaves of Velo Mast? You get our New 29” Pulse – part smooth mixed alloy, and part heart pounding high grade spread tow carbon for a new aquatic good vibes voyage. From a personality perspective we wanted a blended mast that took traits of our other 2 mast series – and from a pricing perspective we wanted a mast that will fill in that gap. The result is a mast that any highend rider will be able to get their wake thief on with, and a temperament that makes it an easy progression mast to grow with – especially when paired with our vertical stabilizer.
SPEED REAR STABILIZER
180cm²
A FAST WING NEEDS A SIMILAR OUTPUT FROM IT’S STABILIZER.
1 portion stability of our Balance stabilizer and 1 portion of our incredibly fast new High Aspect series – we proudly present our 3rd generation Speed Stabilizer. This stabilizer will have more flow and freedom of our 3 options for a rider that puts an emphasis on glide and quickly changing directions with more of a yaw style turn creating a tight turning radius. The thought is to have a pronounced concave on the top of the stabilizer – this pocket makes for a faster overall design but more importantly it greatly improves the stall speed. Even if you aren’t in the pocket of the wave or in a powerfully executed stride of pumping, this shape gives you that safety net to regain your composure to gain momentum or added height.
LINK FUSELAGE
39cm
HIGH ENERGY CONSTRUCTION MEETS SLEAK CONICAL.
Premier manufacturing and materials for a rider that wants extra snap out of a turn and feedback with their pumping. The Link is the intersection to the mast, front wing and rear stabilizer with perfection in every attribute. This streamlined conical design achieves the highest marks of anything we have ever tested in rigidity and water efficiency. A strong efficient link is in many ways the driving force to a smooth, predictable foiling experience. This version is made with our premier form of manufacturing and materials with autoclave and Shadow Carbon.
VALKYRIE – SUPERCONDUCTOR FOIL BOARD
EXPLOSIVE LONG HAUL SWEEPING PUMPS WITH LOCKED IN TIGHT TURNS – AND AN ELECTRIFYING CONSTRUCTION
Equally as energetic as its Blackbird sibling known for its high cadence vertical pump.The Valkyrie substitutes that upright rhythm with a melodic forward sweeping pump for riders that driveoff of their front leg. The Valkyrie is best suited for riders that have longer strides that propels with more natural forward motion at a mellower cadence. This parabolic shape also locks in on powerful drawn out turns. High speed wide open quick radius turns you never thought possible all while holding a strong edge hold. A tapered profile packed with reactive materials for riders that prioritize big reactive strides in their pumping. Usually preferred by high end riders that naturally ride with more weight on their front foot. Made with a highpowered full carbon construction using a foam 6x denser than most traditional surf or foil cores. Electricity under your feet unlike anything you have ever ridden involving something rarely said in the world of foiling – dense PVC foam. With the Valkyrie we really wanted to put an emphasis on the reactivity of the construction. Most ocean surfboards, wake surfers are made with foam under 10 kg density. But a couple years ago we started experimenting with foil boards up to 6 times the density of most surfers. One of our riders said “this board feels like it’s conducting its own energy” and the name Superconductor stuck. Our proprietary extra packed PVC foam mixed with a full carbon layup brings about energy we have never experienced in foiling.The result is response unlike anything we have ever tested. Created for a rider that puts an emphasis on controlled power. The series hits harder and reacts quicker than traditional wakefoil constructions.Enjoy the flight.
