The HIPE Like pack for easy take-off in light wind

The HIPE Like pack was designed to make wing foiling easy when the wind is light or inconsistent. The HIPE Like shape prioritizes glide before take-off, allowing you to build speed naturally and get on foil with less effort.

Unlike the HIPE First, which focuses on maximum lateral stability and a compact shape, the HIPE Like offers greater longitudinal stability and better acceleration. This makes take-off easier, particularly in light wind, with much less pumping required.

It’s the ideal choice for inland waters and spots that aren’t blessed with strong winds.

Want to start with a pack that offers more progression? Choose the HIPE Perf pack!

Progressive, high-performance and easy to transport, the HIPE Perf is THE best-selling wing foiling board across all constructions and models.

Its strength lies in the versatility of its shape: easy and progressive for beginners when choosing the right size, and perfect for intermediate wing foilers looking for the convenience of an inflatable with the performance of a hard board.

Equipped with V-shaped front footstraps and a central rear footstrap for intuitive foot placement when wing foiling and performance comparable to a hard board. The footstraps are fully removable for strapless sessions.
