Game changer mid length, longboard and downwind surf foiling boards.
The Intruder is unlike any other: it’s a Formula 1 at paddling.
Intended for the pros, it’s also a board that will boost the sessions of experimented surfers.
Its paddling speed is incredible thanks to its ultra-sleek shape. It will allow you to drop super soon, or to use much smaller and more efficient foils than with any other shape.
It’s opening up surf foiling to new spots, new swell conditions, with the possibility to catch a wave on paddle power only and fly on a bump that hasn’t yet broken or even stood up. We all experienced those surf foiling sessions when there is too much water. The swell line is perfect but it’s impossible to take off. The Intruder is made for those conditions!!!
In strong winds with serious bumps, you can get going for a downwind with just a few paddle strokes. This means that a surfer who can take off on his belly doesn’t have to learn to stand up paddling. Time saving, incredible feeling, free hands. Beware, it’s very elitist.
Its pin tail and needle type of outline make for a racidal drive, even in tight turns. This pinched shape with minimal width will never restrain you.
The very round rails provide glide when paddling and on touchdowns. This is a pure rocket. The first paddle strokes are astonishing: such a glide!
The very discreet nose bulb and the controlled thickness of the Intruder provide additional comfort when paddling and at take off. You can start very early, effortlessly on all types of waves. Its flat deck brings a lot of control and precision in movements. The Intruder stays slim in thickness and volume so as not to be unnecessarily cumbersome. This is not a SUP board designed to paddle lying down. This is a surf foil board ;-)
Please note that the foil boxes are placed forward to lift the board very early and to stand perfectly on the middle of the board. This translates into a much more efficient pumping, and the sensation of having “no nose” despite the length of the board. You don’t feel like you’re standing on a big board, you really don’t. Yet, you enjoy the glide of a very big board.
Last important thing: the incredible paddling capacity of this board will change the life of surf foilers who don’t have enough cardio to pump back to the peak on repeat.
Paddling on your belly is a real pleasure with the Intruder, which glides just as a prone board. You can surf 300m and paddle back up to the peak without getting exhausted!!! A treat.
3 sizes of Intruder are available:
No doubt, the Intruder is a real UFO.
The Intruder’s outline is very similar to that of a long-distance prone paddle, which is very elegant on the one hand, and allows for effortless, high paddling speed on the other hand. In flight, the narrowness of the shape gives a very pleasant sensation of thinness, and offers an uncompromising radicalness given the total volume.
More and more glide and carves, with limited bulk.
The Intruder’s tight rocker offers effortless paddling and high paddling speed. The combination of this rocker with the outline of the Intruder makes insanely soft waves easy to catch.
The Intruder’s round rails provide incredible glide when paddling.
The Intruder’s pin tail improves glide, favors paddling and offers great freedom of movement in the tightest turns.

Buying guide
For experienced surfers and pros looking for a new way to practice surf foiling.
You need to be a good paddler, and be able to take off swiftly and in the perfect timing to take off.
Take off on waves/bumps/swells that would otherwise need SUP foiling gear.
Surf waves / swells even on very windy days.
Downwind surf foiling sessions.
The Intruder boards are perfect with the Curve H, Fluid H, Veloce H, Veloce HDW or Sirus.
The Curve H is a combo of responsiveness and lift.
It’s the queen for carving and low end conditions (which does not mean it can’t handle speed, on the contrary!). It is also the most comfortable foil for pumping, which allows you to make numerous connections when surf foiling without burning your thighs.
The Fluid H is a combo of responsiveness and speed.
Perfect for turning very short, going fast, glide and enjoying a very dynamic drive. Add to that a very powerful pop and you understand why this foil will go wherever you want, in the water or in the air!
The Veloce H is a combo of glide and versatility.
It is a freefly and downwind machine. It’s the foil to glide and connect bumps endlessly with incomparable fluidity. Accelerations on the wave are stunning and it has a very low stall speed which facilitates flight in all circumstances.
The Veloce HDW: 100% glide.
To be even more focused on infinite glide, the Veloce HDW. The queen in downwinders.
The Sirus : the ultimate high aspect wing to fly longer than everyone else in marginal conditions and for dock start sessions.
We recommend pairing a Veloce H stab with your Veloce H front wing, as these two components are designed for the same program and optimized to work in perfect harmony.
General information on the choice of stab sizes:
The preferred size will depend on your foiling discipline, your level, your weight, the conditions of your spot but also your front wing
