GLIDER PRO

Ultra High Aspect Ratio Foils for Advanced Riders

What you get: maximum speed, pin-point flying precision and razor-sharp handling.

What you need: the ability to keep speed to avoid stalling, the technical skill to pump a highly technical wing.

Foam Core Carbon MkII

-The fast, lightweight, maneuverable and most responsive mast, weighing in at 1.6kg. The MkII shape has a sharper leading edge, a sharper trailing edge and 1.5˚ fuselage-angle built-in.

Aluminium V8

-The stiff and heavier mast option. At 2.3kg, this mast prevents the foil from floating, helping the board stay level and adding stability before take-off.

Solid Core Carbon MkII

Our fastest mast. The Solid Core Carbon MkII masts are super thin and sharp, measuring just 13.5mm at its thinnest point. The mast profile is designed for maximum speed with maximum ventilation-resistance at high speeds. This mast also has 1.5˚ fuselage-angle built-in.

Description

WING DESIGN

Front view: a gentle moustache front view with a shallow monoconcave in the centre section and gently raising wing tips. The monoconcave boosts take-off power while remaining longitudinally stable at high speeds, while the gently raising wing tips allow the tips to breach the surface seamlessly without ventilation: you won’t even feel the wing tips have breached the surface, letting you focus on speed in total control.

Wing section: a modified version of the Tom Speer H005 foil profile, a profile we love for its incredible lift / drag ratio across a wide performance range.

Thinned-out wing tips help us reduce drag generated from tip-vortices and to reduce the pressure difference between the upper and lower surfaces, enabling that magical seamless tip-breaching effect. Thinner tips also improve maneuverability when the tips travels at higher speeds than the centre section.

Fast, precise and maneuverable, the Glider Pro is an amazing wing when tow-foiling into waves.

WHAT MAKES IT SO STIFF?

The cross section of the front wing male ferrule is 55% thicker compared to the original Quick Lock: less twist = more control.

The tail wing section and the mast slot is the same as on the original Quick Lock fuselage, so masts and tail wings are cross-compatible.

The new Lock-Slot on the top adds an an extra mechanical locking point.

The new octagonal shape of the male ferrule, with flat sides and sharp corners, maximizes the interlocking surface areas.
