GEAR: NEW SUP FOIL BOARDS!

Discover our new range of SUP foil boards designed for downwinders!

Created for downwinders, flat starts, and small swells, in high performance freeride or competition mode, the SUP foil models NOTW and Intruder, with their very sleek shapes, propel you into unforgettable runs with just a few paddle strokes!

The glide at takeoff is out of this world. You feel a strong acceleration right from the start of paddling. The foil is activated in just a few strokes in flat starts, and even earlier on a bump.

Just like their prone foil mid-length versions, you have the choice between:

A no-compromise shape for long and fast swells with the Intruder, available in 8’6, 9’0, 9’3, or 9’6, which offers exceptional paddling speed;
And the NOTW, available in 7’8, 8’0, 8’3, or 8’8, with a slightly less elongated shape, ideal for short swells and more varied conditions.

For Whom and Why?

Whether you’re an experienced SUPer or someone ready to build that experience, discover the unique sensations of downwind SUP foiling, which allows you to fly and surf as far as the wind and bumps will carry you. The potential is immense. It frees you from crowded spots and the need for perfect conditions to experience new emotions.

Making the magic of downwind SUP foiling more accessible physically and technically, thanks to superior glide, is one of the ambitions of this new range. But it is above all a range that allows advanced SUP foilers to reduce the foil’s surface to gain speed and agility in downwinders. The type of conditions where you would dare to attempt a downwind is also expanded, as shown in this session with little wind and minimal swell, where you realize the power of the glide at takeoff.

Be aware that standing in wind-driven swell remains a technical challenge, and that’s why we love this sport! Practicing flat starts is a considerable asset to build experience in balance and takeoff. And the cherry on top, this training also unlocks sessions in small waves that struggle to break because you can start from very far out, and from virtually anywhere!

Reinforced EPS Pro Construction

Our EPS Pro construction, with a full carbon layer that is ultra-light, durable, and dynamic, is offered on this model with a PVC sandwich reinforcement covering the entire pad area.

An additional 6 oz fiber reinforcement covers the entire rails, from the deck to the hull, to cushion paddle impacts and thus make your beautiful board more durable.

So, we’re not talking about full carbon here since we added fiberglass layers to this full carbon construction, which provide tolerance to the carbon. But these boards are fully covered in carbon plus tolerance reinforcements.

The Intruder and NOTW EPS Pro boards simply feature custom construction, offered identically on production models.
