GEAR: HIPE LETHAL: THE NEW INFLATABLE WAVE RIDING BOARD

The benchmark wingboard for wave riding is now available in an inflatable version!

This is a new model dedicated to experienced wing foilers which is being released in an expanded range of our inflatable boards. The HIPE Pro, which was the ultimate alliance of the performance of rigid boards with the advantages of inflatable ones, gives way to shapes in line with today’s major uses:

The HIPE Cruzader is the ultimate board for ultra light wind winging and downwinders. Wing foil, downwind, SUP foil, flat start, it's a real Swiss army knife for summer conditions.

The HIPE Diamond, whose mid-length shape allows you to fly very early while maintaining immense versatility: freeride, freefly, freesurf, jumps, it can do it all with that little extra dose of glide.

The HIPE Stunt dedicated to a Surf-Freestyle use, with incredible glide, crazy repop, and great softness in landings, it is the inflatable board for going full send.

The HIPE Lethal is THE inflatable board for unconditional wave riding enthusiasts. Tight turns, above the lip action or endless freeflying carves are done instinctively with the HIPE Lethal.

New Pro Shapes

The HIPE Lethal is the narrowest board in our new HIPE Pro range.

With a sharp outline, it gains in glide for the takeoff: it’s stunning! It’s less wide than its inflatable counterparts in the range which means more speed on the water, fewer touchdowns, less braking in case of contact with water and more control in extreme angles.

A round tail for even more glide, minimal bulk in turns and explosive repop.

Its rounded surf point nose and its contained length make it very incisive in changes of direction such as top turns for example. And in jumps its reduced dimensions allow you to send all the tricks.

New rigid rail

To improve takeoff, our designers developed a rigid rail at the tail of the board. This allows for a clean release of water streams at the end of the hull, resulting in better glide before flying and boosting acceleration. You pump less and fly earlier.

Included equipment:

ICS carbon plate.
GONG front V light footstrap 2024 (includes screws).
GONG symmetric large light footstrap 2024 (includes screws).
5mm Velvet Traction pad: deck covering designed for maximum comfort and absolute grip.
2 Non-through SCS inserts joined by a carbon fiber rod.
Hardware for foil plate and footstraps.
Leash plug at the tail to prevent board loss.
High-pressure inflation valve on the nose for easy deflation and rolling of the board.
Dual-action rapid inflation pump with multiple nozzles (compatible with a wing).
Roller transport bag.
Repair kit (glue not included).

The success of an idea, the optimization of a concept

Since its innovative 2-in-1 board concept entered the world of foil, the HIPE has remained the go-to choice for those who want to combine ease of use with performance on the water. This is precisely what it offers—a high-end inflatable board with a full composite support, designed to faithfully transmit all the rider's intentions to the foil without any wobble or latency.

A 2-in-1 board often copied but never equaled, which blew away the last reservations that the most demanding riders might have had about inflatable boards. Particularly with the HIPE Pro, now available in the Lethal and Stunt shapes which won World Cup titles in their rigid versions. Our experience allows us today to bring together these shapes and the reference technology in inflatables, for maxed out sensations on the water, and unparalleled ease of use on land.
