NEWS: THE HIPE CRUZADER STRAPPED TO SEND IT IN WING FOILING!

The new HIPE Cruzader Strapped for high performance wing foiling thanks to new sizes and footstrap inserts under its integral pad is online!

Since the release of the Cruzader and new ultra-efficient set-ups for super light conditions, sailing under 10 knots is no longer the challenge it used to be in wing foiling. Now we can have a blast in 6-8 knots without fearing a super technical take off in case of a fall. This means, you can totally send it and have fun as if you were sailing in your high end wind range. And to send it in wing foiling we like small boards and to be wedged in the straps.

This is exactly the answer provided by the HIPE Cruzader Strapped: The performance of the Cruzader, in an inflatable format that you can take anywhere you please, with the equipment that allows you to send it in wing foiling!

A shape for light wind conditions

Very narrow, relatively long, this board is a rocket ship when it comes to taking off in wing foiling or with a paddle. On this board you’re positioned in the center, which means you have the same length in front of your feet on a 6’6 Cruzader as you have on a 5’0. You never have the feeling of a longer board because a great part of the length of the board is in your back.

As soon as you pump, the tail propels the board forward and activates the lift of the foil. You can fly with less than 6 knots!!! With a 5m2 wing too… no need to overpower with cumbersome wings. It’s revolutionary.

The set of footstraps is offered with the board. Developed specifically for wing foiling, these less covering straps do not bend when put on. This is a set-up with V-shaped straps at the front that perfectly positions your front foot on the board, without the risk of the strap twisting, and single strap at the back.

New sizes

The HIPE Cruzader Strapped is available in five sizes: 6’0, 6’6, 7’0, 7’6 and 7’11. The small sizes for high performance wing foiling and the larger ones for more versatility and comfort in SUP foiling.

Versatility

The HIPE Cruzader Strapped isn’t just an amazing light wind board. It is also a board for strapless downwinders with a paddle, SUP foil surfing or flat start take offs. Keep in mind that for a more versatile use, we recommend going for the most voluminous boards of the range, unless you are an expert in SUP foiling.

The ICS Pro carbon prepreg plate of the HIPE Cruzader is extended at the front to better adapt to the particular uses of the HIPE Cruzader Strapped and to the very different foils that can be mounted on it. The ICS Cruzader plate is thicker to be even more rigid by having very long rails in front. The front and rear of the plate have been streamlined to be perfectly hydrodynamic before flight. Besides, it enjoys an even more streamlined version developed especially for sizes 6’0 and 6’6.

The double entry rails allow you to mount your foil in no time thanks to the SCS system. Insert the mast, slide it to your favorite position, three key turns on your screws and you are in the water.

Having this board in the quiver is almost essential because you can do the downwinders of your life, surf incredibly tiny bumps, sail in wing foiling with close to zero wind! And take it with you on your trips without any constraints.
