A new freeride experience!
The perfect board for a new freeride experience - Stability is the key
The XR is 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.
The updated track system makes foil setup faster and easier than ever. Large openings let you drop the plate nuts directly into the tracks, slide them into place, and tighten. Removing the foil is just as simple – loosen, slide back, and lift off. All boards come equipped with four standard plate nuts for perfect fit, load distribution, and secure thread engagement. The mirrored positioning scale on the deck EVA pad allowing you to know exactly where your foil is placed in relation to your back foot position while the fine corduroy pad ensures grip and comfort.
