How to choose the right board volume
The ideal volume depends on the skill level and size of the rider.
The foil provides a lot of stability, and is generally recommended for a beginner, taking the equivalent of their weight + 40 L. The higher the skill level of the rider, the lesser the board volume required.
This 105-litre board is recommended for:
- 60 kg: ideal board for easily getting into the sport
- 60 to 80 kg: board suitable for intermediate levels
- Over 80 kg: board for advanced users only

An ULTRA-COMPACT board
Shape
This hydrofoil board is very versatile and can be used for SUP foiling and WING foiling. The slightly refined outline and pulled in tail help you pick up speed at take-off.
Its nose has a double concave tip that makes take-off easier by reducing the suction effect on the surface of the water. It also helps you recover from touchdowns.
The tail has a semi-rigid rail to help channel away water during take-off.
Construction
This board is made from reinforced woven Dropstitch with high stiffness and low weight. A flexible carbon and tarpaulin sandwich stringer on both sides of the board increases the stiffness of the board.
INFLATING
This board has a NEW GENERATION valve that is even more secure.
To inflate your HYDROFOIL, take the board out of the bag and lay it out on flat and clean ground with the pad facing downwards. It has been designed so that it no longer has to be turned over to ensure that the foil can be fitted safely.
Open the cover and connect the pump ("IN" mode).
Inflate to 17 psi for best results.
Disconnect the pump and close the outer cap.
FITTING THE FOIL
This board has a universal foil (UFT) assembly system with double US boxes.
Position the foil following the instructions provided with it.
The foil position can be adjusted according to whether you want a fast take-off or a controlled take-off (see paragraph "ADJUSTING THE FOIL").
WARNING: Do not use foil screws that touch the bottom of the double US box, as this could damage it and reduce its durability.
ADJUSTING THE FOIL
The double US box lets you adjust the position of the foil backwards or forwards.
The positioning of the foil depends on your build and the power of the foil. By default, position the foil in the middle of the box.
The further forward the foil plate is placed in the box, the faster the board will take off.
The further back the foil is placed, the more gentle the take-off will be
Once in flight, your legs should be pushing down with the same force on both the front and the back leg

Foil surfing requires an already good level of surfing, SUP, or traditional kitesurfing.
Independence in choosing your location, analysis of the weather conditions, awareness of the associated risks, ability to read the waves or anticipate manoeuvres are required for safe and responsible foil surfing.
Respecting the right of way and rules of conduct is necessary.
Foil surfing is still a dangerous sport. Several precautions must be taken.
Using a neoprene wetsuit, helmet, booties and an impact waistcoat is highly recommended. A leash must be used.
Foil surfing remains a dangerous sport and learning it requires several precautions. You are strongly advised to get started within an organisation specialised in teaching foil surfing.
Carefully read the instructions provided (please keep these) and respect the rules in place.
