What makes the X-Over an accessible wing for beginners also offers a huge potential of tricks and sensations under the feet of experienced foilers. Its low ratio is easy to handle, fast and forgiving. An ideal combo that boosts confidence and boosts performance.

What makes a magic front wing to progress is not limiting at high level. It all depends on what you want to do. Malo uses the surface of his foil. It alternates between gliding in flight and gliding on the surface to get closer and closer to “surfing” moves, snaps, drift, reconnecting after an air.

Using your front wing over the water, using the surface as if you were pushing the tail of a board, dive it back in the water and connect another turn. This is the game! The value of a wing that makes it easy to recover the flight, even at near-zero speed, is evident in the action below. And for that there is nothing better than the low ratio.

What L’Ours has designed is a low ratio without a performance ceiling. By drastically reducing the thicknesses, this wing enjoys a phenomenal glide. And by keeping a compact surface, it retains the ease of re-flying in the worst situations. The range of acceptable circumstances is increased tenfold.
These foils are not made to fly at 25 knots or more. But they have an incomparable tolerance of 0 to 15 knots, even for pros. If the X-Over is called “cross-over”, it is precisely because its qualities transcend programs and audiences.
