The line between rigid and inflatable boards continues to blur.

Following a major evolution in 2025, highlighted by the introduction of ICS – Woven Fusion Light technology and weight reductions of up to 2 kg depending on the model, the HIPE range takes another significant step forward in 2026. With optimized equipment and more specialized shapes, it further establishes inflatable boards among the benchmarks of the modern wingfoil market.

Your first feedback says it all:

"I hadn't ridden an inflatable board for several generations of HIPE. What an evolution!!!!!"

Frederico - 🇮🇹 - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"An amazing board. The HIPE Diamond 5'6 was an amazing surprise from the very first session."

For the 2026 season, the collection benefits from numerous upgrades:

Introduction of the HIPE Like, a board designed to make light-wind riding more accessible.
Completely redesigned HIPE Freefly featuring a new, higher-performance shape.
Return of the highly anticipated HIPE Pro.
Targeted improvements to the HIPE Diamond and HIPE Cruzader, making them even more efficient within their respective programs.
Enhanced versatility between wingfoiling and low-wind kiting.
New fully integrated, flush-mounted footstrap insert system.
Redesigned rigid tail rail for improved integration and performance.
Next-generation travel bag.
Larger deck pads for increased comfort.
Complete 2026 packages offering exceptional equipment-to-price value.

The result of several years of development and refinement, the 2026 HIPE range represents the most advanced inflatable wing board lineup ever offered. Its level of performance and overall coherence brings the feel of an inflatable board closer than ever to that of a rigid board.
