It will allow you to drop super soon, or to use much smaller and more efficient foils than with any other shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt’s opening up surf foiling to new spots, new swell conditions, with the possibility to catch a wave on paddle power only and fly on a bump that hasn’t yet broken or even stood up. We all experienced those surf foiling sessions when there is too much water. The swell line is perfect but it’s impossible to take off. The Intruder is made for those conditions!!!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn strong winds with serious bumps, you can get going for a downwind with just a few paddle strokes. This means that a surfer who can take off on his belly doesn’t have to learn to stand up paddling. Time saving, incredible feeling, free hands. Beware, it’s very elitist.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts \u003cstrong\u003epin tail\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eneedle type\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eof outline\u003c\/strong\u003e make for a racidal drive, even in tight turns.

This is a pure rocket. The first paddle strokes are astonishing: such a glide!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe very discreet nose bulb and the controlled thickness of the Intruder provide \u003cstrong\u003eadditional comfort\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/strong\u003ewhen paddling and at take off. You can start very early, effortlessly on \u003cstrong\u003eall types of waves\u003c\/strong\u003e. Its flat deck brings a lot of control and precision in movements. The Intruder stays slim in thickness and volume so as not to be unnecessarily cumbersome. This is not a SUP board designed to paddle lying down. This is a surf foil board ;-)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlease note that the foil boxes are placed forward to lift the board very early and to stand perfectly on the middle of the board. This translates into a much more efficient pumping, and the sensation of having “no nose” despite the length of the board. You don’t feel like you’re standing on a big board, you really don’t. Yet, you enjoy the glide of a very big board.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLast important thing: the incredible paddling capacity of this board will change the life of surf foilers who don’t have enough cardio to pump back to the peak on repeat.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePaddling on your belly is a real pleasure with the Intruder, which glides just as a prone board. You can surf 300m and paddle back up to the peak without getting exhausted!!! A treat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e3 sizes of Intruder are available:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe 5’8\u003c\/strong\u003e is the closest size to a \u003cstrong\u003e100% surf foiling\u003c\/strong\u003e use, with incredible paddling speed and responsiveness, it will blow any pro away.
