TECH TALK: THE NOTW, SCURA AND INTRUDER MID-LENGTH FOILING BOARDS
A new field of possibilities opens up with our three mid-length prone foiling surf boards! Uncatchable waves, because they barely...
The NOTW embodies a refined style of surfing, both committed and easy.
The new NOTW is a tribute to cool, hassle free, mid-length surfing.
Capable of generating speed on a microscopic swell line or super tiny waves, the NOTW is truly a delight in simplicity and comfort.
Its shape embodies ease and allows for carves with absolute fluidity.
Its advanced volume and shoulder width offer a stable, easy and smooth paddle, ideal for the most improbable conditions.
This advanced surface also makes take-offs easier when you have to put front foot pressure or cope with powerful whitewater. The fairly skinny tail and the lifty nose prevent it from being swept away.
A wide outline at the front and thin at the tail mean there’s minimal bulk under the rear foot in the turns.
The rails are thin to accentuate this feeling of freedom and further reduce contact with water. A pure and fluid line, a super cool shape.
Its light nose bulb provides a little extra comfort when paddling and taking off. It takes off early without effort, on all types of waves.
The NOTW might be out of this world, but it will allow you to make the most of any wave of this planet with smoothness and style, even those that you thought to be impossible to surf foil.
Available in 5 sizes:
- The 5’0, 5’3 and 5’8 are true mid-length surf foil boards, allowing for a fast, easy and comfortable paddle, exemplary maneuverability, and a style that is both cool and radical at will.
- The 6’8 and 7’8 best represent what a longboard style of surf foiling can be. They allow you to take off on almost nothing, to make long arching carves in a 100% glide style. A ride that replaces liveliness with absolute fluidity.

The generous and curvy outline of the NOTW makes for a lot of paddling comfort, perfect stability and excellent speed, to catch any type of wave.
The bulk remains minimal in carves and allows the most radical turns with its thin rear foot.
The NOTW's hull spells comfort over its entirety. The double concave at the nose promotes glide, stabilizes the paddle and makes touchdowns painless. The facets on the rails accentuate the glide, reduce sticking to the water and refine the board.
The diamond tail, as well as the kick tail of the NOTW, provide additional freedom of movement when pumping and minimal bulk in carves.
Less contact with water, more speed, performance and fun.
The light nose bulb of the NOTW allows volume to be placed to facilitate paddling and repop.
More volume at the nose allows the deck plane to be lowered to foot level, and offers a perfect connection with the foil.
Mid-length Surf Foil Boards
We all dream of surfing these perfect but unsurfable waves offered by nature. With these bigger and narrow boards you can surf foil in conditions where only a SUP foiling board would be able to catch a wave.
There are people who love the feeling of taking off with a surfboard. It's very fulfilling: choosing the right wave, paddling, accelerating, getting up, dropping... taking off with a surf foiling board on a swell line that’s barely rising is ultra satisfying.
No need to find your balance standing on a narrow board with the paddle. You can paddle on your belly, wait seated, exactly as you would do with a retro longboard but with flying as your objective and the possibility to connect multiple waves.
A real plus in your quiver: a session saver!!!
Not to mention these boards are just beautiful to watch.
Downwind Surf Foiling Boards
Downwinders on SUP foil are as magical as they are hard to get into for most people. It’s a very demanding discipline (let’s just say standing on a downwind board in choppy waters requires serious skills ;-) ). Obviously it can be learned, and newcomers get into this surreal sport everyday.
We wanted to offer an alternative with downwind surf foiling boards having a high paddle speed, capable of starting lying down for a take off on a swell bump, so that surfers with an excellent paddle technique can downwind without having to learn how to do SUP.
Be careful, we don’t recommend anyone to try downwinder without sufficient practice and experience. You need to be appropriately trained on wind waves and offshore conditions before hoping to achieve a real prone downwind (with one or more safety devices, and never alone).
Fortunately for training, large boards are excellent paddlers and, on windy days, they will allow you to take off on offshore waves, only a couple of hundred meters from the beach, without effort: micro downwinds which are excellent training.
Here are a few recommendations on the choice of NOTW, Scura and Intruder size you need depending on your practice:
If you’re looking for a board to surf small waves or short period wind waves, the mid length boards from 5’8 to 6’10 are ideal for you. Fast when paddling and almost as responsive in flight as a small board, it's great.
If you want to do micro downwinders on waves/wind bumps, the mid lengths from 6’10 to 8’ will be perfect.
If your goal is to do prone downwinders (once well trained, fine-tuned, and with the necessary safety devices), you will need to opt for at least the sizes 7’8 and 7’10.
With its perfect grip and 3mm thickness, the new Ridge Traction Pad provides absolute comfort and grip. Your support is perfectly stable, and your control surgically precise.
Technical sheet
Buying guide
The intermediate surfer looking for a board that is both comfortable and efficient, whatever the conditions.
From 5’0 to 5’3 for all types of “classic” surf foilable waves.
From 5'8 to 6'8 for windy days or small waves, similar to the type of waves destined to a mid length surfboard.
The 7'8 is suitable for longboard style of use. If you want to catch the smallest waves or short period wind waves, this is the one. For the more sporty and daring, this size is the only one we recommend for discovering the practice of downwind surf foiling.
The NOTW 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
