GEAR: TRAVEL WITHOUT STRESS WITH THE HIPE!

The design of a practical and effective alternative in the form of an inflatable board has been one of our priorities in the development of our range since the very beginnings of wing foiling.

 

Today it is no longer simply an alternative but an essential board for wing foilers looking for ultra practical gear that does not compromise on performance.

Since its release in 2019, the HIPE has revolutionized the practice of wing foiling and other foiling sports by offering an inflatable board at the performance level of rigid boards thanks to its unique ICS plate which covers your entire stance, eliminating any twist or flex from the board+foil assembly. This ICS concept associated with the Woven Drop Stitch technology ensures the HIPE a perfect rigidity.

The HIPE and its new version the HIPE Pro, are as performant as rigid boards with some major advantages when it comes to moving around, traveling with family or simply carpooling with friends to the spot :

  • A phenomenal space saving compared to a rigid board;
  • Wheels ! When you have to carry your gear over more than 50m, you bless the wheels of your transport bag;
  • The unpleasant surprise of discovering a major ding caused by transport on your arrival at destination is ancient history;
  • A versatility that allows you to practice several foiling sports (depending on the size, wing, kite, surf, SUP or wake foiling) which again means saving space;
  • If by bad luck you manage to pierce it, a patch and PVC glue can be used to repair it without having to resort to a professional shaper. When you’re traveling far away, it matters big time.
  • You reduce the risk of injuring yourself during your trip because contacts with an inflatable board are much softer than with a rigid board.
