FEEDBACK: YPRA SURF
Looking for more radical performance, Hugo found the perfect front wing to attack in the waves. Wing foiler: Bastien, GONG...
The high-performance foil for powerful waves and demanding riders. With a perfect balance of speed, maneuverability, and control, it delivers an extreme surfing experience.
The Ypra Surf is the ultimate front wing for riders seeking a radical foil for surfing.
Designed to excel in powerful waves or at high speeds, this wing offers an exceptional blend of glide, maneuverability, and stability, allowing you to push your limits in the most technical conditions.
Thanks to its optimal aspect ratio and thin profile, the Ypra Surf excels in full-speed tacks and under high pressure. It lets you draw radical lines with absolute mastery in the fastest, hollowest sections.
Designed to generate less pop compared to a freestyle wing, it smooths out landings from huge airs by eliminating unnecessary rebound. This feature also enhances control on steep waves, enabling full commitment.
With tips designed entirely for surfing, it delivers outstanding stability, offering exceptional grip and predictable control, even during intense turns. The distinct shape of the tips further enhances acceleration in carves for top-level riders.
The construction of the Pro Team Series range, using high-temperature, high-pressure cured prepreg carbon in steel molds, enhances rigidity, dynamism, and durability under load, while minimizing weight for precise and direct sensations underfoot. This perfect ratio of lightness and stiffness maximizes responsiveness.
Thanks to our technical innovations, such as the ovalized V3 fuselage and the self-tightening connection system, rigidity is maximized and responsiveness is enhanced, delivering top-tier performance and a seamless experience.
For experts seeking a wing that can handle the most intense accelerations, the wildest turns, and the most powerful waves while enhancing every maneuver, the Ypra Surf is the ultimate choice.
The front wing that elevates surfing to the level of art.

The front wing that elevates surfing to the level of art.
One of the key elements in the evolution of this range is the complete redesign of our foils to increase their structural and hydrodynamic qualities.
The V3 fuselage is:
- faster
- more rigid
- more resistant
- lighter
The new round shape allows a 12% gain in glide and the thicker section approaching the stab increases the strength and rigidity of the foil.
Hours of calculations on extremely powerful computers have allowed us to optimize the smallest detail to maximize performance. The fillets of all our connections have been carefully studied and adjusted to minimize hydrodynamic disturbances and increase the rigidity and resistance of the assembly.
The SuperLock self-tightening front wing connection has been designed to guarantee perfect tightening even after hours long sessions.
The more pressure you put into the front wing, the tighter it fits into the fuselage.
The pressure angle makes it very easy to disassemble the front wing, even after long sessions.
This fitting only requires two screws under the FW, which makes changing the front wing easier and faster.
This tightening principle, already validated for several years on our V2 stabs, is now available in an optimized version on the front wings.
A real plus for daily use!
The entire range, from the fuselage, to the mast, to the front wing and the stab, has been revised to radically boost the performance of our foils, without being limited by our old connection shapes.
However, this choice to change all of our parts could not be considered without continuing to offer compatibility with our old ranges.
We therefore offer a wide choice of fuselages which gives you the freedom to mix all our masts, front wings and stabs, whatever their generation.
High Module Carbon offers unparalleled rigidity, representing the pinnacle of performance in our most advanced wings and masts, which face the most demanding structural constraints.
By combining High Module with Intermediate Module, we offer the best performance at the best price.
The products have no flex, the fibers are oriented along multiple axes to lock in bending and torsion, ensuring maximum responsiveness.
Thanks to pre-impregnated fibers, we can guarantee optimal resin usage, providing perfect cohesion at the lightest possible weight.
Each layer of carbon is carefully hand-assembled around a high-density hydrophobic foam core, in a steel mold. A central stiffener is integrated to increase rigidity without compromising on lightness.
The mold is then subjected to high pressure and heated to 150°C to solidify the carbon. The foam core, seeking to expand under the heat, ensures even compression between the carbon layers, ensuring a strong and durable structure.
Durability and repairability are at the heart of our development philosophy. Our foils are tested and proven by dozens of team riders, hundreds of employees, and thousands of customers worldwide. Even in case of damage, our products can be repaired multiple times, ensuring exceptional longevity.
Technical sheet
Buying guide
You’ve got solid skills in winging, waves are definitely your thing, and fast carves get you stoked: go for it.
It takes a high level of skill, commitment, and a great physical condition to send it hard.
The front wing for ripping like a pro.
No limits on top speed, re-launch, acceleration, turn pressure, or sharp drive. The Ypra Surf is built for radical surf performance.
Note, it’s not just for radical waves, it’s about sending it: you can hit a waist-high section full throttle and shred. That’s exactly what it’s built for.
Simply put, it's the front wing to charge in the waves without feeling shaky, without holding back, or walking on eggshells. You go full send, and aim for the money turn.
When it comes to surfing, size adjustments are based on wave speed and power.
The ideal size is around 600 cm², while a size for more advanced riders would be 500 cm².
Larger sizes are for powerful riders and tougher conditions, or for surf foiling if you’re looking for some pumping.
For more information, check this article.
If you're unsure about which size to choose, contact our customer service.
We recommend pairing a Surf-Freestyle stabilizer with your Ypra Surf front wing in medium waves.
In more challenging waves, a Fluid stabilizer will offer more stability at high speed with its longer fuselage, but it will be less responsive in tight turns.
Always adjust the size of the stabilizer to match the size of the front wing to achieve balanced flight and harmonious performance between these two components.
For more details, check out this article.
If you're uncertain about the size to select, feel free to contact our customer service.
