The 2025 HIPE First

Its width and generous volume make it super stable. This is exactly what you need during the phases before takeoff to take the time to find your bearings. It carries you without any problem to make your first runs on the water. You can learn to sail and understand how the wing and wind work on the water before flying. This is extremely reassuring for beginners to board and wind sports.

As it is inflatable, you feel safe. You do not fear shocks, neither for you nor for the equipment, which makes you try more things, and faster.

Once you feel confident, its optimized length helps you gain speed and take off smoothly. Its comfortable length/width ratio allows you to learn to pump (“activate” the wing to gain speed) without losing your balance.

The leash: safety first!

The pack comes with two leashes for a worry-free wing practice.

An ankle leash for the board:

Attached to the waist, it allows you to keep the board close to you safely in case of a fall, while keeping your feet free to move while riding.

Once released, a wing immediately takes flight dozens of meters away from you. With the wrist leash, you keep your wing within easy reach.

This is crucial!

Buying guide

We have selected for you the ideal foil and wing size for the HIPE First you choose.

Just choose your board — we’ll handle the rest!

The HIPE First is a board dedicated to learning. Several volumes are available to meet the needs of each rider according to their level, physical condition, and intended use.

Beginner:

You can choose a volume large enough for easy floating, around your weight + 60 = volume.

Example: I weigh 80kg + 60 = 140L to float comfortably. So with 140L or more, it will be easy.

Comfort:

You can choose a volume sufficient for floating, around your weight + 30 = volume.

Example: I weigh 80kg + 30 = 110L to float. Which means that with 110L or more, I’ll be fine, provided I have a good winging level.

Here’s a small table to sum it all up:

Which accessories?

Safety is absolutely crucial in board sports — even more so with foil riding.

Leashes are a must — think of them as your life jacket! Our HIPE First pack comes with both a wing leash and a board leash. Always check them before each session and replace them every year.

On top of that, to ride safely and in the best conditions, you should always wear a helmet and an impact vest.

We’ve also developed our Bodyguard clothing line to add extra protection against foil cuts — the risk is always there, and even higher when you’re learning. We seriously recommend gearing up and protecting yourself as much as you can!

Once your safety is ensured, it’s time to think about optimizing your equipment to support your progress! Here’s a smart selection of options to enhance your practice:

For an easier start, add a 65 cm aluminum mast to your quiver. The shorter length keeps you lower to the water, making learning safer and foil control way easier. Perfect for your first flights, shallow spots, or getting younger riders started.
If you’re ready to take things up a notch, upgrade your Plus wing with rigid handles for sharper control, or a detachable boom — the perfect setup for more precision and handling once you’ve nailed your hand positioning. You can also add harness lines and gear up with a harness to give your arms a break during long sessions or when the wind’s cranking.

Good to know:

Never leave your board in the sun, especially an inflatable board, and even less a black carbon plate which will heat up very quickly. You risk seeing it come unstuck!!!

Do not screw further than the bottom of the box, otherwise you will pass through the skin of the inflatable. We deliver non-opening US nuts, but be careful.

Never let your foil board take a beating in the waves, especially close to the beach. You must protect it from major efforts. A wave that carries your board and rolls it can do serious damage.

Equipments

Everything’s packed into a smart, tough travel bag made with premium materials:

These backpack straps are very padded and comfortable.

The handles are super sturdy and comfortable.
