The radical SUP foil board.

Presentation

The Fner EPS Pro is the holy grail of SUP downwind boards, combining the glide of the Intruder with the versatility of the NOTW, all while featuring an innovative shape that pushes the limits.

This extreme board offers a delicate balance but an incredible glide, making it a go-to for pros tackling rapid, powerful waves, short period bumps, or even flat starts.

Thanks to its widened deck above the waterline, the Fner allows for a comfortably offset stance that boosts control and enhances radical drive. The part of the board below the waterline is too narrow for foot placement, making this "aircraft carrier" deck not only innovative but also functional and visually striking. It also helps counter extreme tilting.

The Fner’s slender profile makes take-offs easier, be it for flat starts or riding bumps. Take-offs are fluid and intuitive, enabling you to downsize the foil for greater speed and agility or stick with a larger foil to achieve even earlier take-offs.

The pronounced kicktail simplifies take-offs in short swells, minimizes touchdowns, and lightens every pump, for an almost instantaneous take-off.

The rounded rails ensure optimal glide, while the beveled nose cuts through the water effortlessly.

The Fner EPS Pro is a versatile board with an exceptionally high level of performance.

OUTLINE

With its ultra-slim, elongated outline and widened deck for enhanced stability, the Fner offers remarkable paddling speed. It maximizes each stroke, providing outstanding performance, smoothness, and speed.

DECK

Its flat deck ensures optimal control with your stance and a precise connection with the foil.

ROCKER

With its smooth front rocker, the Fner offers optimal glide, allowing you to reach the necessary speed to lift any foil size with ease.

HULL

The hull of the Fner is perfectly streamlined from the nose to the front foot. A long, narrow flat section in the center ensures balance, and the extended tail ensures uncompromising glide.

TAIL

Inspired from the NOTW, the Fner’s kick tail is a true advantage for take-offs. It enhances each pumping strokes by making up and down movements easier, letting you make the most of every bump along your way.

RAILS

Rounded rails provide more comfort during touchdowns and offer better directional control, preventing you from getting stuck on excessively sharp rails when gaining speed.

NOTW, Intruder and Fner

Increasingly popular in recent years, the number of people practicing SUP foil downwind keeps growing. The gear, especially foils, has seen considerable advancements, resulting in a transformation of shapes in all foil sports. With our new foil range, it was essential to offer shapes 100% dedicated to SUP downwind.

To meet this demand, we have developed the NOTW, the Intruder, and the Fner, three shapes engineered for top performance in a variety of conditions.

On one side, the NOTW, offered in 4 sizes (7'8 to 8'8), is the most compact and simple shape, providing better maneuverability and ease in shorter, less formed swells. It’s the ideal board for challenging conditions.

Then, the Intruder, offered in 4 sizes (8'6 to 9'6), is the shape with the fastest paddle speed, capable of taking off on very long and fast swells, using 700 cm² foils. It’s the board of choice for pros aiming to excel in competitions and is also the easiest for flat starts.

Lastly, the Fner completes the range with top-tier performance. This board is not for beginners. If you’re seeking the ultimate board after your NOTW, the Fner is the perfect option to open the doors to ultra-performance.

Three boards built for performance, enabling you to ride any downwind, whether in Hawaii, southern France, or Brittany.

Ridge Traction Pad

Buying guide

For whom?

The Fner is made for advanced foilers looking for the ultimate high-performance and fast paddle board for SUP foil downwind.

It requires excellent physical condition to ride this type of board.

A significant experience in Stand Up Paddle is essential. Either you have it, or you need to build it, but standing up in choppy, windy conditions remains a very technical game, and that’s also why we love this sport ;-)

Practicing flat starts is a huge asset for gaining balance and take-off experience.

For what?

Catch long, fast swells, practice flat starts on flat days, train for the next competition, or just crush your personal records on your benchmark runs.

This board makes any take-off easier, regardless of your foil size.

Which size of board?

Which foil?

The Fner will pair perfectly with the Veloce H DW, Veloce H, and Sirus ranges.

Veloce HDW: 100% glide.

To achieve the pinnacle of performance in infinite glide, the Veloce HDW stands out as the queen of downwind with its 13 ratio and incredible profile.

Veloce H: Glide and versatility combo.

This is a freefly and downwind machine. With it, you can glide and connect bumps limitlessly with unparalleled fluidity. It has a great capacity for acceleration on the wave and requires very little takeoff speed. You can fly slowly without stalling, and it is highly maneuverable for an aspect ratio of 10, making it easy to handle in any circumstance.

Sirus: Lift and glide.

Queen of flat starts and dock starts, the Sirus is also tireless in downwind conditions. Less fast than its Veloce H cousins, it helps you take off from almost nothing. Capable of flying nearly at a standstill and reaching nearly 20 knots in smaller sizes, it offers an incredible range of use, suitable for very slow swells. It will really ease your downwind starts by removing the need for high pace paddling: you can start slowly and gradually increase the intensity.

Which stab?

The Veloce H and Veloce H DW will be perfect with the Veloce H stab. Maximum glide, speed, and efficiency in pumping. The stab to set time records with its minimal surface.
The Fluid H stab provides more front foot, more lift, while being more maneuverable from rail to rail. A versatile and high-performing stab.
The Curve H stab will lift off very early and boost maneuverability. Great surf feel, very enjoyable on offshore bumps.

All three stabs are highly effective. Choose based on the level of lift you seek for a foil that carries ++ or glides, and the degree of maneuverability you desire.

Which bag?
