NEWS: REINVENTING THE CURVE!

Our benchmark foil for linking turns has been reinvented with an ultra modern shape that favors speed, pumping, and boosts the rail to rail that has made it so successful!

As was the case for the new Curve H presented last week, the new Curve makes performance and accessibility come together with a very surfy feel that will make you link turns on end!

Its moderate aspect ratio develops a stunning maneuverability in an ultra-wide range of speeds. This is its huge asset, a perfect blend of lift and pure performance that allows you to get away with everything, be it at low or high speeds: holding flight after a tight turn for a perfect flow, flying through whitewater without flinching, stability when leaning in your turns, etc.

Sensations and pure fun is what the Curve is all about for a foiler who has come full circle with his beginner’s gear, in particular thanks to the tolerance of its profile. For more experienced foilers, a Curve set-up is so easy and lifty that it allows you to undersize your foil to enjoy an incomparable rail to rail.

Shape

With its moderate aspect ratio, a curved outline and its generous profile in the center which fades off towards the tips, this front wing is easy, maneuverable, fast and versatile. It takes off early with a really comfortable lift and goes from one rail to another effortlessly, it’s super intuitive! The new Curve develops an omega camber with a relatively constant long negative curvature which offers grip. We feel that the wing hooks on and will not skid in the middle of the curve even if we push very hard.

Aspect ratio

The Curves are front wings with a moderate aspect ratio: the perfect compromise between glide, lift and rail to rail. This type of ratio makes it possible to maintain excellent maneuverability compared to a high aspect front wing. But we also generate much less drag than with a low ratio close to 5. It is a very versatile shape that works in a wide range of speeds.

Its balance between speed and lift, glide and maneuverability, allows high performance in carving with impressive rail to rail and a really smooth glide in the waves.

New Curve stabs

The new Curve stabs adopt the Pro connection system whose rear section of the fuselage is ultra streamlined. The front wing is literally freed up with a gain of 3 to 5 knots in top speed under the feet of a good rider. In addition, this streamlined section further improves maneuverability by generating less drag. Indeed, the narrow section close to the stab makes it much easier to drift and cut turns short.

It is the perfect stab for foilers looking for maximum performance in curves. This is what this stab is all about, it is both maneuverable at low speed and super stable in long curves at high speed. It’s behavior is very healthy thanks to a grip that acts to keep the foil on its trajectory.

The strong grip of its negative dihedral associated with the winglets offer a super predictable feel: you can push in the legs and put a maximum of power without stalling. Be it in curves or at high speed, they provide a real gain in stability.

Cover all needs

The Curve front wings in sizes S, M, L, XL, XXL and the Curve stabs in sizes 36 cm , 39 cm, 43 cm, 46 cm, will allow you to have fun on all supports, whether kite, wing, surf or SUP foil. Here are our recommended combinations for a perfectly balanced set-up. The association with a Fluid H Stab is also possible for those who want a behavior that’s more loose (to perform snap/slash kind of turns on waves for example).
