FEEDBACK: CRUZADER DIAMOND 2026
After the HIPE Diamond, Jérôme moves on to its rigid version, and discovers a truly spectacular glide.
Wing foiler: Bastien, GONG team rider, on the Cruzader Diamond FSP Pro with Droid Aramid X wing, HM mast, and Veloce V3 foil.
A shape built purely for glide
“After seven HIPE boards that I absolutely loved. I’m graduating!
The Cruzader Diamond 5’8 🤩 I love the shape!
Two first sessions adjusting the foil and straps, and it’s obvious: this board just wants to glide as soon as there’s any traction from the wing.
The pointed nose gives the feeling there’s nothing in front of your feet, and the narrower outline lets you put more angle upwind. Touchdowns become almost imperceptible!”
Compared with the HIPE Diamond 2025
“Switching to a rigid board with a recessed deck immediately gives more control and confidence.
With its 82L (for my 80kg body weight), it’s stable enough, slightly less than the HIPE Diamond in longitudinal balance since there’s less support on the nose, so you need to be careful when kneeling. On the other hand, it feels more stable laterally.
Can’t wait for the next sessions to keep discovering it, but the fun is already there!😀”
