- Lowkite
Put glide on your side with the mid-lengths from our FSP Pro range.
Just like the versatile SNER EPS Pro, which many of you have already adopted for lowkite sessions, and from which the new Cruzader Squash draws its DNA, the Cruzader family offers particularly valuable qualities for lowkiting, where you want:
- easy take-off,
- forgiveness on touchdowns,
- excellent rail-to-rail,
- minimal inertia.
The Cruzaders are tailor made for this discipline, featuring: massive glide, flowing lines, soft rails at the nose, a recessed deck for more control (especially strapless), multi-position Luxe footstraps for total control… Now which one should you choose? We’ll tell you everything.👇

All-round boards for lowkite and winging?
Choosing your Cruz for lowkite essentially comes down to asking yourself the same questions as you would for a wing foiling use, since the performance of V2 Lowkites is extremely close to that of a wing:
- Point LW – the earliest take-offs in the lightest conditions.
- Point – fast take-offs, agility, and performance.
- Diamond – fast take-offs, stability, glide, and accessibility.
- Squash – fast take-offs, compactness, reactivity, yet with comfort.
If you already have a good level in lowkite, a Cruzader chosen for wing foiling will also be an excellent option for your lowkite sessions. Doing everything with a single board is possible, within a wind range equivalent to wing foilng.
As for wing foil sessions, if you want to take advantage of ultra-light conditions, choose a volume at least +10 to +20 liters above your standard board. Smooth, effortless take-offs guaranteed!
Are you new to lowkite? The Cruzader Diamond and Point LW XL, in generously positive volumes, are excellent choices to discover this magical sport!
Starting from zero, without prior wing or foil experience? The Zuma will be more accessible, and will also let you discover winging, and even SUP foiling if you feel like it.
