Introducing the new XR – the ultimate choice for both newcomers and experienced wing-foilers seeking enhanced stability and ease of use. Stability is the key: It’s specifically designed for riders seeking exceptional stability and a smooth, forgiving ride, making it the perfect choice for effortless take-offs and smooth landings while offering a reliable and confident ride in various conditions.
The shapes are slightly longer than most boards on the market, therefore the XR offer enlarged surface area, making it easier to balance throughout the entire process of getting on the board, onto your knees, standing on your feet and finally taking off into flight mode. The new dimensions of the board, paired with a constant volume distribution provide unmatched stability, ensuring a safer experience both on the water and in the air.
The shape and buoyancy enable faster and more efficient take-offs, allowing you to catch the wind and start foiling with minimal effort. Once airborne, the XR maintains exceptional stability, giving you confidence and control throughout your ride thanks to the perfectly positioned foil boxes and footstrap plugs. Despite its length, the centered standing position keeps the board feeling direct and compact, offering great maneuverability and a solid connection to the foil. The slightly concave standing area further contributes to a more direct feel over the foil.
Werner Gnigler about the XR Pro:
“The stretched-out outline allows using a thinner profile which creates less drag in the air and, in combination with the slight concave deck a very comfortable stance and a well-connected feel towards the foil.”
Well-known and proven shape features are also used here:
* The subtle nose rocker equipped with a double concave V for better glide, quicker acceleration and smooth, passive take-off.
* The defined rail tuck line which offers maximum planing surface and helps transferring lift into a crisp water release.
* A pronounced tail rocker for an improved flight position creating more nose clearance.
* The unique tail cut-outs which reduce the wetted surface in the tail area allowing for a more efficient take-off as well as a quick recovery from a touchdown.
All-new tracks !
We redesigned the tracks that now have large openings for an easy foil-to-board assembly: Simply drop the plate nuts into the track while they are mounted on the foil, slide them into position and tighten the screws. To remove the foil, just loosen the screws and slide the foil backward and upwards.
We decided not to add any additional openings to the tracks as this would dramatically reduce their structural integrity. All boards featuring the new tracks are now equipped with a standard set of 4 plate nuts. These nuts ensure a perfect fit to the tracks, superior load distribution and ideal thread engagement.
The foil positioning scale between the tracks is mirrored in the design of the deck EVA pad, allowing you to know exactly where your foil is placed in relation to your back foot position.
The EVA pad has a fine corduroy pattern for comfort.
Technical details:
* Slightly longer shape offers an enlarged surface area.
* New dimensions, with a constant volume distribution providing unmatched stability.
* Perfectly positioned foil boxes and footstrap plugs.
* Stretched-out outline allows a thinner profile, reducing drag in the air.
* Slight concave deck, for a comfortable stance and strong connection to the foil.
* All-new tracks for an easy foil-to-board assembly.
* Includes a set of 4 plate nuts.
* The scale between the tracks is mirrored in the design of the deck EVA pad for easy foil positioning.
* PRO boards come with full high density PVC sandwich, deck and bottom offering an unmatched ratio of stiffness and low weight in connection with the Innegra rail reinforcement.
* The tracks are embedded in high-density blocks running all the way from deck to bottom and creating an extremely stable construction.
The XR is the ideal board for both beginners and experienced wing-foilers, prioritizing stability and ease of use. Its slightly longer shape and even volume distribution make it easier to balance throughout all stages, from getting on the board to take-off. The board’s design ensures faster, more efficient take-offs and excellent stability on the water and in the air. Due to the stretched-out outline, the board features a thinner outline which reduces drag and with the slight concave deck, provides a comfortable stance and strong connection to the foil. In addition, the well-known and proven shape features such as the subtle nose rocker with double concave V, the defined rail tuck line, the higher tail-rocker and the unique tail cut-outs have been continued. Experience the perfect blend of stability and performance with the XR, your gateway to mastering wing foiling with ease and confidence.
