GEAR: NEW RANGE OF PUMP FOILING BOARDS !

24 boards. New shapes. New constructions. More choice than ever.

Pump foiling keeps evolving, and so does the gear. Until now, the range revolved around an iconic board: the Kluber HDCC. Available in three sizes, it quickly became a benchmark in pump foiling and helped define modern dock start.

For 2026, this DNA expands into a complete ecosystem with four shapes, two constructions, multiple deck options and longer foil rails, giving foilers more choice than ever while keeping the performance and simplicity that made the Kluber famous.

 

A complete range built around four shapes

The new lineup is structured around four complementary boards, each targeting a specific approach to pumping.

  • Kluber V1 HDC: the accessible and durable benchmark

  • Kluber V2 HDCC: the modern all-round performance board

  • Donut HDCC: the carving machine

  • Strada HDCC: the performance and endurance board

All boards share the same philosophy: compact shapes, extremely low rocker lines, high rigidity and efficient energy transfer to the foil.

Another key upgrade across the range is the longer US SCS rails, offering a wider adjustment range to fine-tune setups and easily mount foils from different brands.

Kluber V1 HDC: The benchmark made more accessible

The original Kluber shape is now available in a new HDC fiberglass construction. It retains its iconic concept of a short, simple, and ultra-efficient board, but in a more accessible technology. It’s the ideal board for discovering dock starts, while still allowing riders to progress far in pumping.

Several color designs complete the concept, with team-based codes for instant identification on the dock. A real plus for team spirit and club dynamics, as dock start is above all a social activity where playfulness is key.

The colors also make it easy to recognize your board at a glance, whether during a team challenge or simply when gear is being passed around to test different setups.

 

 

Its unchanged shape preserves what made it successful. The very low rocker line remains the key to its performance: a perfectly flat tail and a nose with just enough lift to prevent nosediving. When the board touches the water, it glides instead of stopping, maintaining momentum and allowing for smooth relaunches.

The compact outline eliminates any unnecessary length to maximize pumping efficiency, while the flat deck provides precise control and very direct feedback underfoot.

The major innovation on this model is the HDC fiberglass construction (High Density Core). Inspired by foil front wing manufacturing, it combines prepreg fiberglass lamination, three carbon H stringers locking rigidity, double-entry SCS foil boxes and a construction pressed in a steel mold and cured at 155°C.

The result is similar stiffness to the carbon version, with slightly more weight to preserve rigidity and a significantly lower price.

The board is also more resistant to impacts, making it perfect for the repetitive reality of dock start sessions.

 

 

Thin and precise deck pad : Under the feet, the 3 mm Ridge Traction Pad offers grip, comfort and a very direct feel. Its minimal thickness avoids the “spongy” sensation that can blur pumping feedback.

 

Kluber V2 HDCC: The modern high-performance all-rounder

The Kluber V2 HDCC represents the evolution of the Kluber concept with a more modern shape and maximum energy transmission.

The rocker line remains extremely low for efficiency, but the shape evolves significantly.

The width has been increased under the toes of the back foot, allowing for more offset when carving on very large wings.

The rails follow a clear philosophy: soft rails up front for smooth, forgiving touchdowns, and sharp rails at the tail to maintain glide and avoid sticking to the water on impact.

The board becomes more intuitive, especially when riders start carving harder and pushing their pumping technique further.

HDCC full carbon construction

The Kluber V2 uses the HDCC (High Density Core & Carbon) construction with full carbon prepreg laminate, three carbon H stringers and integrated full carbon SCS boxes, all pressed in a steel mold and cured at 155°C.

This creates extreme rigidity and direct energy transfer, meaning every movement instantly translates into foil acceleration.

The low volume keeps the rider closer to the foil, improving precision and reducing fatigue during long sessions.

Donut HDCC: Maximum fun and carving

The Donut introduces a radically playful approach to pump foiling.

Designed for riders who prefer tight turns and dynamic trajectories rather than straight lines, it features a distinctive peanut outline.

The board narrows slightly in the middle to remove unnecessary surface area, while the nose and tail remain wide for stability and strong foot pressure.

This creates a board that is extremely reactive, highly maneuverable and perfect for tight carving turns.

The rails remain soft at the front to avoid harsh touchdowns, keeping the ride smooth and intuitive.

Full carbon HDCC construction

Like the performance boards in the range, the Donut uses the HDCC carbon construction, ensuring maximum rigidity, instant energy transfer and long-term durability.

Combined with its playful outline, it delivers a board that is light, strong and incredibly fun to ride.

Strada HDCC: Built for speed, distance and records

At the top of the range sits the Strada HDCC, the most radical board in the lineup.

This is a board designed with a single objective: maximum pumping efficiency.

A radical high-performance shape

The rocker is extremely flat to maximize speed and minimize energy loss. The outline is narrower through the center, reducing inertia and allowing faster cadence.

A diamond tail removes unnecessary material at the rear, improving transitions and responsiveness under the back foot.

 


 

The result is a board that is precise, direct and extremely efficient, built for riders pushing long distances and high-speed pumping.

Pure connection with grip deck

Unlike the rest of the range, the Strada uses a grip deck instead of a pad. This reduces weight and provides a direct connection between rider and board, with no damping in feedback.

Combined with the HDCC carbon construction, the Strada delivers uncompromising performance.

Longer rails for maximum setup precision

Across the entire 2026 range, the US SCS foil boxes are longer, offering a wider adjustment range.

This allows riders to fine tune their foil position, adapt to different pumping styles and mount foils from other brands more easily.

In pump foiling, small adjustments often make a big difference, and this extra range helps riders dial in the perfect setup.

  

A new era for pump foiling

From the accessible Kluber V1 HDC, to the refined Kluber V2, the playful Donut, and the ultra-performance Strada, the 2026 lineup opens a new chapter in pump foiling.

24 boards, multiple constructions, four distinct shapes and endless possibilities to progress, carve, or chase distance.

The Kluber started as a benchmark. Today, it has become a complete ecosystem for modern pump foiling.
