FEEDBACK: HIPE STUNT

News
Wing

23 september 2024 0

A high-performance inflatable wingboard that challenges the need for rigid boards, according to Vincent, who shares his thoughts.

Wing foiler: Malo, GONG team rider, on the HIPE Stunt and Droid UPE Aramid wing.

Choice of size

"Hello everyone! Since I couldn't find any tests on the new HIPE Stunt and Lethal for a future purchase, I relied on the dimensions/volumes to make my decision. After a few sessions, I don't regret my choice of the HIPE Stunt 4’9. I weigh 85 kg and am 1.84 m tall, usually riding in moderate to strong mistral conditions."

The responsiveness underfoot

"So, if like me you've used the HIPE Pro or the Lemon FSP Pro, you'll find the HIPE Stunt more than satisfying. It floats well when stationary if you match the weight/volume ratio and, most importantly, takes off much quicker than what I've experienced. It glides and accelerates rapidly without requiring excessive pumping. The stiffness, precision, and responsiveness underfoot are impressive (if technology keeps advancing like this, there's little reason to opt for a rigid board). It performs superbly in choppy waters, allowing for deep inclinations and radical turns without skimming the surface. I thought the Lemon was great in this area, but actually, no... (I imagine the HIPE Lethal, with even narrower dimensions, would be a step above)."

Ease of use plus performance

"In short, this board combined with Ypra-S wings is super responsive and perfect for having fun. Just one thing I don’t like about the HIPEs is the position of the rear strap, which is placed too far back. The stance is too wide. It probably improves the pivot point, but it feels too radical. It would be great to have a set of inserts further forward, like on rigid boards. In conclusion, if you're looking for a high-performance board that you can throw into your vehicle without a cover, rig on an asphalt parking lot, and travel without spending half a day protecting it, all while delivering real performance, it's perfect!"
