Go for the best sensations wing foiling has to offer with the inflatable board dedicated to free flying!

If you are a wing foiler today, the sensational images of freefly are certainly part of the reason. Like you, thousands of glide sport enthusiasts have taken up wing foiling in order to experience those magical sensations. An incomparable feeling of freedom, with the wing in neutral, where the sensations of gliding and the exhilaration of endless surfing take over all your emotions.

It is precisely for this purpose that the HIPE Free Fly was created. A strapless, lightweight, and compact board on which you embark for an instinctive transition from one rail to the other.

The icing on the cake, its inflatable technology allows you to easily take it to the most beautiful spots!

100 % Strapless

Rider preferences vary widely. While some enjoy the added control and stability that straps provide, others prefer an approach that’s more free and natural.

For the latter, the feeling of direct connection with the board and the water, without any hindrance, is essential. It is in response to this specific request that we developed the HIPE Free Fly dedicated to strapless freefly surfing.

Lightness

The HIPE Free Fly is very light. With its compact format, it is even the lightest in the HIPE range.

It’s super pleasant to go from one rail to another in the waves. This makes it very lively underfoot, which is really appreciated when pumping and freeflying on swell bumps.

A big advantage for traveling light without compromising on sessions!

A proven technology

The HIPE, as their name suggests "High Inflatable Performance Evolution," are the result of extensive development, merging the best of high-end composite and inflatable technologies.

The HIPE Free Fly consists of a secure and generously sized float with simple-layer welded Woven Dropstitch technology combined with our carbon composite plate that absorbs all the foil's forces. This GONG innovation of two boards in one is revolutionary.
A masterpiece of composite craftsmanship, made of full prepreg and high-density foam stringers, the plate is securely bonded under the inflatable structure. It covers the entire stance between the rider's feet. Mechanical efforts are thus perfectly transmitted to the foil, yet it remains short enough to fit the board into a backpack. You can thus enjoy all the benefits of an inflatable board without compromising your practice.

Phantastique idea to make this board, I have ordered the 2025 Model 5.0 – most situations do not need straps, and the weight / volume ratio promises a perfect ride in all conditions, plus travelling with it across the different international spots. Love it!
