TECH HIGHLIGHT: A CENTERBOARD UNDER YOUR WING FOIL BOARD

Wing

05 august 2024 1

Learn the basics of winging before having to deal with the foil thanks to the centerboard option of the HIPE Learn!

Since its role is to make your life as easy as possible during the learning phase, the HIPE Learn is an ultra stable board that can be equipped with a centerboard instead of the foil. The idea behind this option is to learn the basics of sailing with a wing at your own pace. By getting to know all the basics, you will be in the best conditions to then take off by equipping it with a foil.

The possibility of mounting the board with a centerboard rather than a foil also makes it an interesting board for a SUP use, for the whole family and especially for the kids. Or simply to cruise around with a wing in lighter winds or introduce friends to winging.

An ADS drift that puts you on the right track

In addition to the centerboard or the foil, the ADS system under the nose of the board will greatly limit drift on your first reaches. By avoiding a significant drift down the wind, which means a long walk back to your starting point, the ADS system allows you to spend more time on the water, and therefore progress faster.

Thanks to the ADS system, you no longer have the stress of having to fly to gain ground on the wind. Whether you are equipped with a foil or a centerboard under your back foot, this system provides valuable help in staying on course. Essential when you're just starting out, but also when the wind suddenly drops and flying is no longer an option.

Why choose the HIPE Learn?

If you are new to board sports, or you only rarely have the opportunity to get into the water, the HIPE Learn will offer you the best chance to progress because each session will be a sure step forward towards autonomy.

Also note that this is the only model that allows you to sail with a centerboard instead of the foil, ideal for learning how to use the wing or simply for letting the kids wander around on the water for example.
