R&D Result
More power over the foil due to the massive 99cm tail equates to higher pointing angles upwind and deeper downwind angles especially in under-powered conditions.
AC inspired hull design that is faster through the air.

• Ultra compact and very wide nose/tail shape for increased power and angle upwind combined with solid stability downwind. Excellent glide and acceleration in the air. Very early planing due to the clever volume distribution.
• Revised race foil scoop-rocker line for easier handling, explosive acceleration and top-speed in both flat water and choppy foiling conditions. A proven curve that generates enough lift whilst still releasing drag, a key performance component of modern foil racing.
• T-Beam style coned deck shape – Increases light wind power, drive, general stability and nose trim stability at high foiling speeds.
• ‘Gorilla Backfoot Pad’ – Fitted with a one piece 6mm deck pad from rail to rail on the back foot to facilitate comfort and grip during high speed gybe maneuvers.
• Reverse Vee bottom shape – Generous vee and double concave configuration in the nose to clear the chop and create a smooth ride especially when touching the nose coming off the foil, transitioning to less vee and dc in the tail for easier tilting of the board angled to the side for earlier planing alongside better glide when touching.
• ‘V4 Vector Cuts’ – Straight line cutout design that facilitates clean and effortless water release for ultra fast planing onto the foil and also a quick release when touching down.
• FOIL Tuttle Strong Box – Double the carbon content, double the wall strength and stiffness, double the width compared to a normal tuttle box, and built with a 100% high-density PVC sandwich body. The result – foils stay tight and the box holds the direct feeling performance even after prolonged use.
Summary
No compromise FW Foil Class racing thoroughbred for those who want to win.
