The best glide for freeride, freefly and laid-back wave riding.

Overview

The Mint is a best-seller in our range thanks to its magical glide combined with incredible ease of use.

Everything feels easy on the Mint, and anything is possible. It takes off effortlessly, inspires confidence straight away, and still delivers enough performance for a pro to throw highly committed moves with disconcerting ease.

With its versatile shape that keeps a bit of length and width, but without overdoing it, it perfectly combines accessibility with top-level performance. Its exceptional glide makes take-offs easier, including in light wind, while its stability at a standstill keeps you relaxed through every phase before take-off.

For 2027, the deck is even more recessed in the pad area to bring your feet closer to the foil. The board is thinner underfoot, the connection feels more direct, and control gains even more precision. The new volume distribution at the front and rear preserves all the float that makes the Mint so easy, especially on take-off and during water contact.

In flight, its maneuverability and responsiveness still make it a benchmark for freefly, with a smooth, natural feel that lets you focus fully on your glide and your carves.

Compared with the more specialised or more radical models in the range, the Mint remains the easiest high-performance board to get to grips with. It is an excellent board for progressing, but also one that very good riders love for its versatility and how simply it delivers performance.

Easy, smooth, stable and not physically demanding, the Mint remains that super cool board you ride a lot, in a huge range of conditions, without ever feeling like you are making compromises.

OUTLINE

The Mint keeps a very balanced length / width / volume ratio to generate plenty of glide while remaining easy to control. Its length lets you naturally build speed on the water and reduce the effort needed for pumping, while its width provides the stability needed before take-off. The result is a smooth, accessible and high-performance board, capable of linking take-off, flight and freefly phases with ease.

ROCKER

The rocker stays fairly flat, especially through the rear third, to promote acceleration and limit energy loss before take-off. The Mint naturally glides up to flying speed without requiring strenuous pumping. This line also helps it maintain speed through touchdowns and makes it easy to get straight back up on foil, with smooth, predictable behaviour.

HULL

The hull combines a flat, planing rear section with a double concave up front. The flat section releases water flow efficiently and helps acceleration during take-off phases. Up front, the double concave channels the flow during water contact and helps the board maintain speed rather than slowing down abruptly. A combination designed to deliver strong glide before take-off while staying forgiving on touchdowns.

TAIL

The round tail keeps enough surface area to support the board and generate glide, while staying compact in carves. Combined with the stretched rocker, it lets you recover quickly after a touchdown and delivers a very natural repop. For 2027, the volume distributed around the tail increases support under the back foot and ensures a more progressive transition between the stance area and the end of the board.

RAILS

The rails are straight and sharp at the tail to release the water cleanly and maximise drive during take-off phases. This geometry delivers clean, efficient glide. Moving forward towards the nose, the rails gradually become less vertical and softer to gain more forgiveness in chop and make water contact much less punishing.

NOSE

The generous point nose keeps support without creating excessive bulk in flight. For 2027, the maximum volume of the bulb has been moved closer to the rider to provide more reserve when the board keeps accelerating on the water or loads up the nose in chop. Combined with the double concave and soft rails, it makes touchdowns easier and helps the board naturally bounce back into flight.

Recessed deck

The recessed deck brings your feet closer to the foil for greater connection, precision and control. This lower position improves the transfer of rider input whether riding strapped or strapless, while maintaining enough freedom to adjust your stance. The rider feels more locked in, closer to the foil and benefits from a more direct feel through every maneuver.

You feel more secure, closer to your foil, and enjoy a more direct feel through every maneuver.

Volume distributed from nose to tail

The lowered deck is combined with added volume at the front and rear to maintain support around the rider. The maximum nose volume is positioned closer to the stance to provide better support during take-off, acceleration and water contact. At the rear, the volume follows the same principle, creating a natural continuity in the shape from nose to tail.

Drain Plug

The drain plug has been specially designed to make operation safer and easier. Its shape allows it to lock directly into the board to ensure a watertight seal while riding, with a 90° twist-lock closure. When opening, the system passes through an intermediate position before fully releasing the plug. This maximizes airflow between sessions and also allows any water to drain out in the event of infiltration before repair.

Team Series graphic signature

The Team Series Hollow Hybrid Carbon range shares an instantly recognizable visual identity built around a Brush effect that adds texture, movement, and depth to the board’s surface.

This graphic base is paired with a distinct tail color for each shape, giving every board its own personality while maintaining a cohesive look across the range. The contrast between the Brush effect and the tail colors highlights the board’s lines and reinforces its identity without overcomplicating the design.

Footstrap inserts

The new footstrap inserts improve both adjustability and hold. At the rear, the two-screw mounting system offers 5 positions to fine-tune foot placement while limiting strap rotation under heavy loads. At the front, 3 positions let you adjust your stance, with paired lateral inserts arranged diagonally to strengthen the connection and keep the strap securely in place when pushing hard.

Luxe Footstraps

The new boards come equipped with a set of V-shaped Luxe Footstraps, chosen by our Team for their comfort and precision. Adjustable with Velcro, they provide fine, tool-free adjustment, both on land and while riding, allowing you to quickly adapt the fit to your foot and riding style.

Each footstrap combines:

An adjustable internal structure with semi-rigid reinforcement to provide effective support around the arch of the foot.
A lined neoprene cover for lasting comfort and softness during long sessions.

Their three-hole baseplate allows for one- or two-screw mounting. Combined with the double inserts, the two-screw setup provides a more secure fit and limits strap rotation under heavy loads, keeping your footing more stable and precise during committed maneuvers.

Ridge Traction Pad

With its perfect grip and 5 mm thickness, the new Ridge Traction Pad delivers outstanding comfort and traction. Your footing is completely secure, giving you surgical precision and control.

Contact with the board is firm and direct for precise foil control, while retaining the cushioning of a 5 mm pad.

The pad is also bonded directly to the board’s epoxy surface. This creates an extremely reliable bond between the pad and the board, significantly reducing the risk of delamination over time and keeping your footing secure for the long term. The result: a grip that stays perfectly in place, total confidence underfoot and significantly improved durability.

Buying guide

Who is it for?

This is a simple, stable board, so much so that you could almost learn on it, but you still need enough of a level to really love it:

Either you already have a significant number of hours flying with a wing (say, gybes dialled in and the start of tacks).
Or you already know how to handle a foil really well (from kite foiling, for example).
Or you have a windsurfing background: that helps a lot with handling the wing and staying on your feet.

In any case, even though it’s easy, the Mint is performance-oriented, exactly as its programme suggests.

In a high volume (your weight +30), it’s genuinely very easy. But if you choose a volume close to your weight (+10), staying on your knees in chop still won’t be exactly relaxing. You need to be in good physical shape to stay sharp and reactive.

It’s clearly the board for anyone who wants to get the absolute most out of a wing in the waves while keeping plenty of comfort.

But it’s also a very good option for Lowkite, as its stability will make your setup and take-offs easier.

What for?

The Mint is a pure freeride / freefly / wave riding board, with enough comfort to make life easier and throw tricks with a clear head, without struggling to get going again.

In short: it’s 80% wave riding and 20% freestyle / jumps. So 100% freeride ;-)

It’s responsive and playful. It’s an amazing feeling to have everything fall perfectly into place underfoot. The control at high speed and through carves is fantastic.

Ideal in surf and perfect for jumps, it’s 100% high performance.

What board size?

Which foil?

The Mint works perfectly with V3 Atmo foils, which prioritise carving, speed, glide and freefly. The Curve is ideal for its reassuring, easy-handling feel, the Fluid for a more lively ride, and the different Veloce models for pushing glide and speed further. A Sirus, meanwhile, will maximise low-end range and take-off ease.

The Curve V3 Atmo: the maneuverability and control combo.
It’s the perfect choice for easy carving with a foil that feels composed and easy to read under your feet. Its lift and forgiveness let you make the most of the Mint’s ease while still keeping enough glide and performance to progress a very long way.

The Fluid V3 Atmo: the maneuverability and speed combo.
More lively and more direct, it’s perfect for tight turns, accelerating, gliding and riding with a more responsive feel. Its dynamic character is a perfect match for a Mint used in surf, committed freeride or freestyle.

The Veloce V3 Atmo: the glide and speed combo.
Its high aspect ratio prioritises efficiency and speed retention. It’s an excellent match for fast freeride, freefly and long carves, with a foil that carries efficiently through lulls and naturally extends every glide phase.

The Veloce Free Fly V3 Atmo: glide with freedom.
Designed to keep plenty of speed without becoming too locked in, it’s particularly well suited to freefly, long glides and accessible downwind. An excellent choice for making the most of the Mint’s glide while keeping a foil that stays active and easy to pilot.

The Veloce Light Wind V3 Atmo: efficiency in light wind.
It prioritises early take-off, lift and staying in flight with very little energy. Paired with the Mint’s natural glide, it lets you make the most of marginal conditions while still keeping speed and efficiency once flying.

The Sirus V3 Atmo: the queen of the low end.
Its very high lift combined with its glide lets you take off early and stay flying at low speed. It’s the choice for maximising light wind sessions, pumping efficiently and making the most of every bit of available energy.

The Ypra Surf-Freestyle V3 Atmo: the committed surf and freestyle mix.
More radical, it’s aimed at riders who want to push the Mint in carves, speed build-up and moves. Its dynamic behaviour prioritises pop, repop, maneuverability and quick rail-to-rail changes.

Which stab?

Your stab choice lets you very clearly tune the character of your Mint. To keep the setup simple and immediately coherent, your first choice should be a stab from the same family and the same series as your Front Wing. Curve, Fluid and Veloce stabs are not only defined by their size: their profile, span and surface distribution each give a very different feel.

The Curve stab: control and carving.
It brings plenty of support, a settled feel and excellent readability through carves. It’s the natural choice for getting the most out of the Mint in freeride and wave riding with a foil that feels reassuring, carries well at low speed and is easy to build speed with.

The Fluid stab: speed and responsiveness.
More lively and more powerful through the feet, it speeds up rail-to-rail transitions and frees up direction changes. It’s a perfect fit for a Mint ridden with a more dynamic style, tight carves, pop and strong speed build-up.

The Veloce stab: glide and freefly.
Less powerful than a Fluid, it prioritises speed retention, glide and long lines. It’s an excellent option for getting the most out of the Mint in freefly, fast freeride or in bumps, with a foil that feels looser and more energy-efficient.

You can then fine-tune that balance with stab size. A larger size generally brings more support, stability and help in slower phases, at the cost of a bit more drag. A smaller size frees up the foil more, improves speed and maneuverability, but demands more precision and control.

For riders who want to go further with tuning, the Curve, Fluid and Veloce Tail Wings let you keep those same directions while choosing span and incidence separately thanks to the Tail Shaft / Shim Tail system. The Medium with Shim Tail 0° is the standard starting point whenever no different specific setup is recommended.

Who is the Mint for?

The Mint is aimed at riders looking for an easy, stable and high-performance board to progress or make the most of a solid level without moving to a demanding shape. A few hours of flight time, controlled gybes or good experience on another foiling craft make an excellent foundation.

What is the Mint designed for?

It’s a freeride, freefly and wave riding board with real potential for sending jumps and tricks. Its DNA remains focused on glide and surfing, with a smooth, versatile and not overly demanding ride.

How do I choose the volume of my Mint?

Volume depends on your weight, your level and the comfort you’re looking for. At around your weight +30 L, the Mint becomes very accessible and stable. At around your weight +10 L, it feels sportier but requires more balance, especially on your knees in chop.

Does the Mint take off easily in light wind?

Yes. Its length, stretched rocker and planing hull let it pick up speed quickly before take-off while keeping pumping effort to a minimum. It makes efficient use of light pull and stays stable enough to set up take-off with confidence.

Is the Mint suited to wave riding and freefly?

Yes, it’s even one of its main uses. Its glide makes it easier to get into the bumps, while its maneuverability and control make freefly feel very natural. The work done on the nose and hull also helps maintain speed through touchdowns.

Can the Mint be used for lowkite?

Yes. Its stability and easy take-off make setup and take-off easier in lowkite. It builds the speed needed before take-off with ease, while remaining maneuverable and enjoyable to ride once on foil.

Which foil should you pair with the Mint?

A Curve V3 Atmo will prioritise control and carving, a Fluid V3 Atmo will bring more liveliness and speed, while a Veloce V3 Atmo will push glide and freefly even further. To maximise low-end range and lift, a Sirus V3 Atmo will be particularly well suited.

What are the vent valve and drain plug for?

The automatic pressure relief valve balances internal pressure while riding. Between sessions, during storage and transport, the drain plug must remain open to maximise air exchange and prevent any overpressure in the Hollow Hybrid Carbon structure. It must be closed again just before launch, and also allows any water to drain out in the event of water ingress before repair.
