Foil Surfboard

The critical thing we've found in design for foil surfing is paddle power.  You want to get in early and get to your feet before anything crazy can happen.  After the longest ride ever, you want to be able to get back to the peak or hook up with the next whitecap.  Fletch's inspiration for this shape came from prone paddleboards.  You'll generally want to go as small as you think you can manage so that there's not undue swing weight for pumping. 


Sizes

  • 5'4", 5'6" (46L), 5'9", 6'0", 6'2"

Features

  • Minimal rocker
  • Straight / parallel outline
  • Maximum float at the rail and tail to compensate for the weight, drag, and instability of the foil when paddling
  • Scooped deck to lower your center of gravity underfoot and fit "inside" the board when paddling

Mounting options

  • Available with 90mm mast plate syle or Deep Tuttle box
  • For kite-foiling, or surf-foiling with your own board, please contact us and we'll let you know if you board would be appropriate for a foil attachment.
