Lightning take-offs plus fluid and tolerant lines characterize the new shape of the HIPE Perf!

In its new proportions, with new sizes ranging from 5’1 to 5’10 (75L to 150L), the new HIPE Perf is now totally dedicated to the practice of wing foiling and meets all modern needs. More glide, more forgiving on the touchdowns and equipment that supports your progress in this magical sport which combines the pleasure of flying and surfing above the water.

This new shape follows the phenomenal evolution in the performance of wings and foils, of which the glide has also improved enormously. Lighter and more efficient equipment that clearly facilitates access to the sensations of wing foiling.

The new lines of the HIPE are inspired by the Mint from our range of rigid boards. A model followed for stunning glide, in a format retaining enormous comfort out of flight, and handling in the air. Concretely, we designed a less compact outline. The board is thinner and narrower. We maximize glide in order to facilitate takeoff. The board has a hull with more glide and releases water more easily. And this is only the beginning, we also gain in navigation because the board is much less sensitive to touchdowns. In other words, we take off earlier, and we come stuck significantly less. An evolution towards more flight time and fun on the water.

New semi-rigid tail rail

The shape evolution is accompanied by a new feature on the tail of the board, also developed to free you from the water. It acts as a ridge on the tail of the board, in a semi-rigid material, which, like the tail of our rigid boards, allows clean detachment of water streams at the end of the hull, and therefore better glide before flying, boosting acceleration. We pump less and we fly earlier.
