- One HM 85CM CARBON MAST
- One PRO ALU FUSELAGE
- One DEEP FOIL BAG
- the complete screw kit to assemble your foil
THE FLUID H FRONT WING:
To find out more, see the FRONT WING FLUID H detailed product sheet.
THE FLUID H STAB:
THE FLUID H STAB:
The Fluid H Stab is made for high speed with a comfortable lift.
The shape of its intrado is very concave to maintain a strong lift which helps on takeoff and in all low speed situations. The feeling is stable and firm despite the high ratio. The outline is thinner at the tips to allow a perfect rail to rail. Hardcore turns or big curves, this stab is perfect in maneuverability. To try it is to marry it 😉
Its high modulus carbon construction with internal stringer is super rigid and responsive. It allows you to maintain a formidable dynamic despite the lower thicknesses. This technology is the very best in high pressure, high temperature molded carbon construction.
Its profile is greatly refined, in thickness and in chord, as it approaches the fuselage, which reduces drag, meaning higher speeds. At the level of the fuselage, the thickness is reduced by 12% compared to the V2 carbon mast. We clearly have less drag !!!
More glide means a higher top speed, but above all, more ease to reach it. So we accelerate harder, we relaunch, we fly early, we have better handling. These are essential assets when looking for absolute performance.
THE PRO ALU FUSELAGE
To find out more, see the PRO ALU FUSELAGE detailed product sheet.
THE DEEP FOIL BAG
This is the ideal bag for carefully storing all the parts of your foil. Its clever design allows flexible storage for your entire quiver.
It contains three padded compartments (for 2 front wings and a mast with its top plate or 3 front wings), a specific pocket for the stabs, a small specific pocket for a fuselage and another one dedicated to the screws.

Buying guide
For whom?
It is a front wing for experienced riders who want to switch to an even purer glide.
- In surf foiling, you must have a good level to tame this technical front wing. Surprisingly simple to take off, but it requires good technical skills to maintain a clean pumping at high speed and to pilot it in the curves with its high ratio wingspan.
- In wing foiling, you must have a good level to take off early on this technical wing and master the higher speed of the foil. The tips can come out of the water for some fresh air, so you need a good level because it’s only an asset if you can master it, otherwise it’s a disaster 😉
- In kite foiling, ditto, you must have a good level to accept and master the higher speed of the foil and the greater wingspan of these stretched wings.
In summary, you need good technical skills to take advantage of this front wing. The small sizes are obviously easier to manage than the very large ones which are harder to move around.
For what?
This front wing is clearly made for gliding and finesse.
With a profile that is tolerant at low speeds, it is the simplest high ratio in the range. Which does not mean the least effective, quite the contrary: it is formidable with its pop, its high quality grip and its handling.
- In surf foiling, it is clearly the ultimate weapon to return to the peak in effortless pumping with a wing that doesn’t need to be at mach 12 all the time.
- In wing foiling, it is a front wing which excels in a fast and playful drive, and which likes beautiful curves in amplitude. A pro will love it in freestyle for its huge pop.
- In kite foiling, it is the turbo you want without sacrificing surfing and tricks.
The Front Wing Fluid H
Small wings are suitable for higher speeds and large ones for lower speeds. The criteria of choice is therefore not only the size of the foiler. The XS-H has a wingspan of 72 cm, 600 cm2, 0.94 cm thick for a volume of 0.26L.
- In surf foiling, it is a very small wing for the pros, the lightweights and tow-in surfing. It’s super fast with a manageable lift to stay in control in hollow sections.
- In wing foiling, it is very small but perfect for a light and very good level rider in strong winds.
- In kite foiling, it is a small wing for a good level rider. Pay attention to the wingspan which often borders on the surface.
- In surf foiling, it is a very small wing for the pros, the lightweights and tow-in surfing. It’s fast with good lift to get through soft sections and stay in control in hollow sections.
- In wing foiling, it is small but perfect for a good level rider in strong winds.
- In kite foiling, it is an interesting size but the wingspan can be a problem to manage.
- In surf foiling, it is an intermediate wing which is suitable for light builds to surf long, sometimes hollow waves and be able to return to the peak easy!
- In SUP foiling, it is reserved for downwinders on good swell formed for medium sized foilers or for hollow waves.
- In wing foiling, it is the wing to use in 80% of sessions for a light rider in average winds.
- In kite foiling, it’s too wide so not suitable in this size or above.
- In surf foiling, it is an intermediate wing which is suitable for riders of an average weight to surf long waves and be able to return to the peak without running out of steam!
- In SUP foiling, it is an excellent lift/top speed compromise to make the most of the power of the swell.
- In wing foiling, it is the wing to use in 80% of sessions for an average sized rider.
- In kite foiling, it’s too wide. To forget.
- In surf foiling, it is a large wing which is suitable for big riders in dock/beach starts, and which works well in pumping. Its wingspan is impressive in curves, so it should be used in very soft waves.
- In SUP foiling, it is a key size for downwinders, its glide, maneuverability and top speed make it the perfect compromise for exploiting bumps.
- In wing foiling, this size is very large. To be used in light conditions.
- In kite foiling, it’s too wide. To forget.
- In surf foiling, it is a giant wing which is suitable for strong people in dock/beach starts, and which is dedicated to easy pumping. You can do 120kg and cross great distances in pumping without vomiting. It is a wing limited for surfing due to its wingspan which will overtake you in curves, and which must therefore be used in soft waves with a “longboard” type of drive.
- In SUP foiling, it’s great for small downwinders and in the small surf without excessive power. In wing foiling, this size is very big. To be used in light/asthmatic conditions and for inland water bodies for example.
- In kite foiling, it’s too wide. To forget.
- In surf foiling, it’s too big. To be used only for pumping sessions to cover long distances with an efficient and fast front wing.
- In SUP foiling, it is more technical to take off paddling on the flat than a Curve H or a Sirus, but once in flight, it is supersonic!
- In wing foiling, it is a wing for ultra light wind conditions. When combined with a board that glides like the Cruzader you’re the only one flying in super marginal conditions while still enjoying great maneuverability! You don’t even feel the wingspan, it’s so reactive.
- In surf foiling, it’s too big. To be used only by big foilers for pumping sessions to cover long distances with an efficient and fast front wing.
- In SUP foiling, it’s very big, perfect for taking off paddling on the flat then covering great distances using a very efficient pumping technique.
- In wing foiling, it is a wing for ultra light wind conditions and big riders. When combined with a board that glides like the Cruzader you’re the only one flying in super marginal conditions while still enjoying great maneuverability!
A bigger wing will be used in low ranges, soft conditions. And conversely a smaller wing in tough conditions. What you need to remember is that the choice of your wing depends on your size, which requires lift, and your average speed, which generates lift.
In DW, we tend to think that the biggest is the most efficient. That’s only true to some extent, but it is often the case.
