The HIPE Cruzader
The HIPE Cruzader is our inflatable lightwind wing board.
It is extreme in its performance, extreme in its innovative inflatable shape, and extreme in the programs it offers. Wingfoil, Lowkite, downwind, SUPfoil, flatstart, it's a real Swiss Army knife for summer conditions.
Very narrow, relatively long, with more comfort without compromising its DNA, this board is a true rocket in winging and paddling for an earlier take-off than all its rivals. You are placed in the center of the board, which means you have the same nose length in front of your feet as on a 5’0 when you are on a 6’6 Cruzader. You never have the sensation of a long board because most of it is behind you.
As soon as you pump, the tail propels the board forward and activates the foil's lift. You can fly with less than 6 knots!!! And you can fly with a 5m2… no more need to overpower yourself with bulky wings. It's revolutionary.
It's up to you to challenge the world record for early take-off! 6 knots are enough with our giant foils, and sometimes less for pros. Obviously, this is an ultra-specific use, but what a treat! Surfing glassy waves, cruising full speed in 8 knots… And as soon as the wind picks up, you have an incredibly smooth board. Flying below 10/12 knots in winging will change your schedule and your vision of this sport. It is simply astounding!
The Wing Droid Boom 2026
There Compact and powerful wing for freeriding, first tricks and waveriding, with total versatility in the choice of grip.
There Droid Perf 2026 It takes the DNA of this iconic model and puts it in a versatile version, capable of adapting to all preferences and programs.
Compatible with the GFS V3 system, the Droid adapts to your riding style in a flash, and you choose your own setup! With rigid grips and a Boom Clip-In (two parts that fit in your HIPE bag!), it can be adjusted in a single click for greater control and stability, without compromising on comfort.
THE FOIL CURVE H FG V3
A magical rail to rail, along with an impressive glideand atruly comfortable lift, is what the Curve H FG foil stands out for. Qualities that make it very accessible despite being a performance wing.
It is the foil of choice for mixing simplicity and the advantages of high aspect foils; be it for winging, surf foiling, kite foiling, dockstarts, or even wake foiling. It excels in carves, jumps, pumping, freeflying… impressive versatility without any complexity.
In its DNA we find the outline of the Curve which makes it a bestseller. Its very rounded leading edge that sets the tips back, makes for a very healthy drive in carves, be it in the low end or at high speed. It's not a front wing for snappy turns: it's a carver. It has grip and won't lose the line of your carve. You can feel a form of constant traction in any trajectory, as opposed to with a more sneaky behavior.
Buying guide
For whom?
For riders with a decent level or great motivation (because the HIPE Cruzader is demanding), looking for the pack to fly in little wind.
For what ?
This is the lightwind, freeride and versatility oriented pack. It is compact with the inflatable board: everything fits in the bag!
Once we have said that, we obviously think of travel. Who has never spent a week's vacation in the sun with just enough wind to NOT fly wiiiiiiiiiing??? It's crazy... Well with the HIPE Cruzader, a Droid and the Curve it's over! You leave with = you will fly!!!
Which HIPE Cruzader to choose?
Don't just rely on the volume of the board, this shape draws all its potential from its length which is the number one asset. A little more comfort won't hurt. There is a good chance that you are on a positive volume, even if the best among you are not on your board. wing usual.
Here are some examples to help you make the right choice:
- The longer the board, the earlier you start, whether in wing in the light or by oar;
- The 6’0 and 6’6 are aimed at the smallest among you or those who want a 100% program wing perf;
- You are an average size, or an intermediate level in wing, let yourself be tempted by the 7’0 or the 7’6;
- You want to discover the pleasures of lightwind in wing, and you are still progressing, the 7’6 is made for you;
- You are strong, or you want comfort, choose the 7'11.
The bigger it is, the easier it is. It’s that simple ;-)
What size of wing and foil?
For the wing :
Don't overestimate the power of wings. An 85kg template needs 15/20knots in 5m² to fly at the beginning. After around fifteen sessions, he will fly at 15 knots in 5m². And if he is sporty he will pump hard and take off at 12 knots in 5m² to go from soft to 8 knots. All this has to be learned and takes time. Month after month, by discovering more and more specific equipment, flying under 10 knots will be a formality.
For the foil:
The Curve H's low-speed lift means you don't need a lot of surface area to have fun. These are very tolerant and accessible wings for takeoff which allow you to reduce the surface area without losing low range.
We can then:
- Undersize it to gain mania and speed.
- Stay on your usual sizing to boost the glide and create magnificent curves in infinite gliding!
- Switch to larger wings, to have an ultra-early takeoff, while maintaining disconcerting glide and glide! Typically what you are looking for in lightwind.
Here we will remember sizes L, XL, XXL and 3XL depending on your size and the conditions you will encounter.
Depending on the FW chosen, here are our recommendations for choosing mast thicknesses to guarantee perfect stiffness of the whole:
- The thickness of 14mm is recommended for front fenders up to 100 cm in span;
- The thickness of 15mm is recommended for front fenders up to 120 cm in span;
- The thickness of 16mm is recommended for front fenders up to 150 cm span

What accessories?
Safety is of paramount importance when practicing board sports and even more so when it comes to foil sports.
Leashes are essential, remember they are your life jacket! Check their condition before each session and change them every year.
In addition, to practice in the best conditions, you must absolutely wear a protective helmet and an impact vest.
We have also developed a range of Bodyguard fabric, which adds additional protection against the risk of cutting linked to the foil. Risk is present all the time, but it is even more important during the learning phase. We recommend +++ that you protect yourself as much as possible.
As an optional extra, we recommend the following.
For your safety:
- HELMET and IMPACT JACKET : to protect you in the event of a fall and allow you to progress safely.
The essentials:
Leashes (Highly recommended option. It is for your safety and that of your equipment):
- A LEASH BELT for the board: GONG LEASH BELT PERF 7MM to keep the board in complete safety in the event of a fall and the belt clip, to keep your feet free of movement;
- A WRIST LEASH for sailing: GONG LEASH COILED 6MM WRIST.
To protect and maintain your equipment (highly recommended option to guarantee its durability):
- GONG FOIL PLANE BAG MANTA, to protect your foil during storage or transport when it is mounted;
- TIKAL TEF-GEL : Marine grease to protect the screws of your foil against galvanic corrosion, and thus avoid seizing the screws.
To develop your wing Droid:
- BOOM CARBON 2 PARTS and a harness for even more maneuverability and engagement at speed and still being able to store everything in the bag.
Good to know:
Never leave your board in the sun, especially an inflatable board, and even less a black carbon plate which will heat up very quickly. You risk seeing it come unstuck!!!
Do not screw further than the bottom of the box, otherwise you will pass through the skin of the inflatable. We deliver non-opening US squares, but be careful.
Never let your foil board take a beating in the waves, especially at the edge. You must protect it from major efforts. A wave that carries your board and rolls it can do serious damage.
