It takes off easily for carving in freefly and surf, with great ease.

Overview

Stable, easy and quick to take off, the Cruzader Diamond delivers crazy efficiency for riders who love glide.

Its compact downwinder-style mid-length shape lets it get going early while remaining surprisingly easy and enjoyable once flying. It feels reassuring, not tiring, while still delivering very strong performance. It really is a brilliant board with zero fuss.

On the water, you get excellent stability for such a narrow board. It glides naturally, accelerates easily and gets you up early without having to wear yourself out pumping. As soon as you're flying, you get that famous "no nose" feeling: very little board in front of your feet and loads of freedom in the way you ride.

That’s the whole point of the Diamond: bringing back the glide of a DW board with the qualities of a compact board. It makes it easy to enjoy light conditions, then carve in freefly or in the waves with a board that stays natural and easy to place.

It is also very enjoyable through all the phases before take-off. It’s easy to find your footing, restarts take little energy, and its balance keeps you comfortable even when the water gets choppier.

The recessed deck brings the rider even closer to the foil and makes the feel more direct, while keeping the comfort that gives the Diamond its charm.

Its FSP PRO construction naturally extends that character. The full PVC sandwich combined with an outer carbon skin brings stiffness, drive and responsiveness, transmitting your input straight to the foil. The Diamond stays easy and natural, but responds more positively as soon as the pace picks up, both in acceleration and through carves.

The Cruzader Diamond remains a particularly likeable board: easy, fast-gliding, responsive and versatile, ideal for riders who want to get going early and then make the most of foiling, whether in wing foiling or lowkite.

OUTLINE

Thanks to its long, narrow outline, the Cruzader Diamond delivers exceptional glide and makes take-off in light wind incredibly easy. Despite its narrow width, it stays perfectly balanced on the water and inspires confidence straight away.

In surf and freefly, it is genuinely a pleasure to ride: compact, natural underfoot and easy to place. It feels exceptionally comfortable in surf, while its responsiveness through the feet lets you maintain constant control through every phase of the ride.

The Cruzader Diamond is the ideal mid-length.

ROCKER

Thanks to a flat rocker, glide is a real advantage in all conditions. It accelerates easily, takes off early and maintains its speed during speed build-up.

At the rear, the subtle kicktail helps release the hull when the board is put on rail. It reduces touchdowns in the waves while preserving the rocker’s efficiency on take-off.

HULL

The flat tail section provides a highly efficient planing surface. The water flows cleanly all the way off the tail, which boosts acceleration and lets you quickly reach the speed needed for take-off.

Between the boxes and the nose, the double concave softens contact with the water. It smooths out touchdowns, stabilises the board and helps it bounce back so it does not stick to the surface.

TAIL

The generous, buoyant diamond tail provides plenty of support under the back foot. Whether you're kneeling or pumping, its volume helps the board naturally recover its trim and makes take-offs easier without wasting energy.

The volume is concentrated around the stance, then the tail tapers towards the rear. Combined with the slight kick, this design lets the Diamond keep all its support on the water while freeing up the tail in carves.

RAILS

The rails are straight and sharp at the tail to deliver clean water release. This crisp release limits unwanted drag and helps the Diamond maintain its glide during acceleration.

They gradually become less vertical through the centre, then softer over the front third. This helps the board handle chop and touchdowns without an abrupt loss of speed, keeping the ride comfortable even when riding low over the water.

NOSE

The rounded point nose keeps a fine, low-bulk tip while retaining enough volume to support the front of the board.

Its slightly faceted V-shaped bulb now concentrates its maximum volume closer to the rider. Support therefore comes exactly where it is most useful when the nose is under load, while keeping the tip light and unobtrusive once on foil.

Recessed deck

The recessed deck brings your feet closer to the foil for a stronger connection, greater precision, and more control. This lower position transfers foot pressure more effectively, whether riding strapped or strapless, while leaving enough freedom to adjust your stance.

You feel more secure, closer to your foil, and enjoy a more direct feel through every maneuver.

Volume distributed from nose to tail

The lowered deck is paired with added volume in the nose and tail to maintain support around the rider. The highest-volume section of the nose sits closer to the stance to better support takeoffs, acceleration, and touchdowns.

At the rear, the volume follows the same approach, creating a smooth, continuous shape from nose to tail.

Team Series graphic signature

The Team Series range shares an instantly recognizable visual identity, with a Storm Grey finish on the bottom and Storm White on the deck, defining the look of the FSP PRO construction. Inspired by swirling storm clouds, the pattern is applied by hand, making every board unique.

This base is paired with a distinct tail color for each shape, giving every board its own personality while maintaining a cohesive look across the range. The contrast highlights the board’s lines and reinforces its identity without overcomplicating the design.

Footstrap inserts

The new footstrap inserts improve both adjustability and hold. At the rear, the two-screw mounting system offers 5 positions to fine-tune foot placement while limiting strap rotation under heavy loads. At the front, 3 positions let you adjust your stance, with paired lateral inserts arranged diagonally to strengthen the connection and keep the strap securely in place when pushing hard.

Luxe Footstraps

The new boards come equipped with a set of V-shaped Luxe Footstraps, chosen by our Team for their comfort and precision. Adjustable with Velcro, they provide fine, tool-free adjustment, both on land and while riding, allowing you to quickly adapt the fit to your foot and riding style.

Each footstrap combines:

An adjustable internal structure with semi-rigid reinforcement to provide effective support around the arch of the foot.
A lined neoprene cover for lasting comfort and softness during long sessions.

Their three-hole baseplate allows for one- or two-screw mounting. Combined with the double inserts, the two-screw setup provides a more secure fit and limits strap rotation under heavy loads, keeping your footing more stable and precise during committed maneuvers.

Ridge Traction Pad

At 5 mm thick, the Ridge Traction Pad offers an excellent balance of comfort, grip, and precision. Its texture keeps your footing secure, minimizes small slips, and maintains very direct control of the board and foil.

The pad feels firm underfoot to transmit rider input precisely, with enough cushioning to keep you comfortable during long sessions and touchdowns.

Reliable grip, stable footing, and a precise connection to the foil.

Buying guide

Who is it for?

The Cruzader Diamond is designed for intermediate to expert riders looking for more glide and efficiency without switching to a board that is tricky to balance.

It makes take-off much easier while remaining easy to understand. Its stability and very predictable handling let you enjoy the benefits of a mid-length without requiring pro-level skill or fitness.

It is typically the light wind board for riders who want to significantly improve their low end while keeping plenty of comfort. It is also brilliant for riding underpowered, going strapless and enjoying maximum glide with minimum effort.

Its glide before take-off, forgiveness and the clarity of its handling make it a true benchmark among efficient boards.

What for?

Its range is particularly broad:

Light wind: its glide lets you accelerate with very little energy and take off extremely early, even when the wind is lacking.
Surf: its controlled size and natural handling let you carve with plenty of freedom once flying.
Freefly: its glide helps maintain speed and connect bumps with very little effort.
Freeride / freerace: its efficiency lets you ride fast, point upwind efficiently and make the most of modern foils.

The Cruzader Diamond takes off very early while remaining comfortable as the wind picks up. It therefore offers a particularly wide range of use.

And it’s not just for wing foiling: it’s excellent for lowkite too. Its glide, balance and ease before take-off are a perfect match for this discipline, whether you are discovering parawing, progressing or making more of lighter conditions.

What board size?

Which foil?

The Cruzader Diamond works particularly well with foils that emphasise glide, efficiency and speed retention. Its ability to accelerate before take-off also makes it possible to choose smaller or higher-performance foils without losing the whole benefit of its early take-off.

The Curve V3 Atmo: the carving and control combo.
Its lift, maneuverability and very predictable handling make the whole setup particularly easy. It is an excellent choice to enjoy the Diamond's glide while keeping plenty of control in freeride, surf and variable conditions.

The Fluid V3 Atmo: the maneuverability and speed combo.
Livelier and more playful, it brings more rhythm to your carves. It lets you benefit from the Diamond's efficiency on take-off, then get a more mobile and responsive foil once flying.

The Veloce V3 Atmo: the glide and speed combo.
It is a particularly natural match with the Diamond. Its excellent efficiency helps maintain speed, get through lulls and extend freefly phases. A very good choice for fast freeride and long carves.

The Veloce Free Fly V3 Atmo: glide and freedom.
It retains plenty of energy while remaining maneuverable enough to play with your lines. It is perfectly suited to a Diamond used to connect bumps, carve and enjoy long freefly phases.

The Veloce Light Wind V3 Atmo: efficiency in light wind.
It pushes the Diamond's benefits in light wind even further. Its lift and glide let you take off early, then maintain flight easily when the available energy drops.

The Sirus V3 Atmo: to maximise low end.
Its very high lift and efficiency let you make the most of the lightest conditions. Combined with the Diamond's natural glide, it makes take-offs and staying on foil much easier with very little energy.

Which stab?

The choice of stab lets you significantly change the Diamond's character. Its glide-oriented programme means you can either aim for a very stable foil that is easy to get flying or free up the whole setup more to gain speed or maneuverability.

Ideally, we recommend pairing your front wing with a V3 Atmo stab from the same programme. This consistency lets you find the intended feel within each foil family.

The Curve stab: control and ease.
It brings solid support and plenty of stability. Paired with a Diamond, it gives you a very reassuring setup that is easy to trim and comfortable through carves. It is an excellent configuration for progressing or simply prioritising comfort.

The Fluid stab: more freedom through carves.
It gives the foil a livelier, more playful feel. Weight transfers become quicker and the Diamond gains mobility in surf and freefly, without losing the efficiency brought by its shape.

The Veloce stab: glide first.
It is a perfect match for freeride, freefly or light wind use. It helps maintain speed and extend your lines with less effort, which fits the Diamond's efficient programme particularly well.

You can then fine-tune the feel further through stab size:

Larger: more support, drive and stability. The foil is easier to trim and requires less precision at low speed.
Smaller: less support and more freedom. The foil becomes livelier, accelerates more easily and responds faster to changes of direction.

On a Cruzader Diamond, a stab that provides enough lift makes light wind riding even easier. By gradually reducing its size, you can then free up the foil and make more of the board's responsiveness in surf and freefly, without changing the setup's very glide-oriented DNA.

Who is the Cruzader Diamond for?

The Cruzader Diamond is aimed primarily at intermediate to expert riders who want a major boost in glide and easier take-off without moving to an overly technical board. Despite its narrow outline, it feels reassuringly stable and is easy on the legs.

It’s an excellent option for anyone wanting to discover the benefits of a mid-length while keeping a simple, versatile board.

Why choose a Cruzader Diamond over a compact board?

The Diamond delivers much more glide before take-off. It accelerates more easily, requires less pumping and gets you up on foil earlier, especially in light wind or when riding underpowered.

Once flying, its balanced weight distribution and refined outline greatly reduce the board’s perceived bulk. The result is a responsive board that’s easy to place despite the extra length.

Is the Cruzader Diamond difficult to balance on?

No. Its width is kept in check to promote glide, but its well-distributed volume and supportive diamond tail give it excellent stability for such a narrow board.

Naturally, it requires a bit more attention than a very wide board, but it remains far more accessible than a very narrow downwind board. The board responds predictably to foot pressure, and naturally settles back into trim.

Is it really suited to light wind?

Yes, that's one of its strong points. Its elongated outline and stretched rocker let you build speed quickly with very little effort. This makes it easier for the rider to reach the speed needed for take-off when the wind is light.

This efficiency also lets you use a higher-performance foil or a smaller front wing without sacrificing ease of take-off.

Is the Cruzader Diamond suitable for lowkite?

Yes. Its glide, stability and ability to accelerate before take-off make it particularly well suited to lowkite. It lets you build speed easily with very little power available and offers enough comfort to handle the setup and take-off phases.

It is also an excellent board for progressing in parawing without going straight to a more specialised shape.

Can you surf with a Cruzader Diamond?

Yes, and that’s exactly what sets its programme apart. Despite its excellent glide, it remains very enjoyable in surf and freefly. Its compact feel underfoot and clean tail outline give you plenty of freedom through carves.

Its slight kicktail and soft shapes up front also make water contact more forgiving when surfing close to the surface.

Which foil should you choose with the Cruzader Diamond?

For easy handling and plenty of control, a Curve V3 Atmo is an excellent choice. A Fluid V3 Atmo brings more liveliness in surf, while a Veloce V3 Atmo or Veloce Free Fly V3 Atmo lets you push glide and speed retention even further.

To make the most of light wind, the Veloce Light Wind V3 Atmo and Sirus V3 Atmo are particularly well suited.

Can you ride the Cruzader Diamond with or without straps?

Yes. It works very well strapless, especially in freefly, surf and lowkite, where the freedom to move your feet lets you make the most of its balance and glide.

With straps, the different positions let you fine-tune your stance to match your riding. In both setups, the recessed deck brings your feet closer to the foil for more direct feedback.
