Foil Starter

The wings of the Foil Starter have a low aspect ratio, a compact shape, and a moderate wingspan. This is the ideal shape for beginners: it provides lift, stability, and reduces the chances of contact with the foil in the water. These wings have a fairly rounded outline with rounded tips, ensuring a safe start and minimizing the risk of injury. However, they still have a fairly high-performance profile: the Starter front wings won't just lift you up and then slow you down as soon as you want to accelerate; they provide good glide and will offer you your first great sensations.

To make the Foil Starter as accessible as possible for beginner riders, we chose to manufacture the front wings and stabilizer primarily out of fiberglass with carbon reinforcements. Fiberglass is indeed cheaper to produce than carbon fiber, and the rigidity it provides at these front wing thicknesses is more than sufficient for a beginner. We avoided making an overly high-end construction to open the doors of our sport to as many people as possible. All other parts of the foil are made of aluminum.

To achieve our goals of strength and stability, we redesigned the connection with the front wing. Our new system ensures a solid connection, with perfectly controlled and rigid axes of movement. This new assembly also guarantees extreme durability of the front wings, ideal for riders who want to jump and practice freestyle.

Change the wings, keep the rest! The Foil Starter will accompany your progression thanks to its modularity: all the wings and stabs from the 2024 range, X-Glide, XS-Glide, and HS-Glide, are compatible with the fuselage of this pack. In short, from zero to hero while keeping part of your gear!

When you purchase our Starter foil, you receive a complete set of equipment ready to ride: the Starter front wing, the X-300 stab, the mast, the fuselage, as well as the plate and the mast/fuselage connector. Additionally, a full set of hardware and a wrench are included to help you assemble your foil quickly and get on the water right away. You will also receive a detailed user manual and a specially designed transport bag to carefully store and transport all your foil components.

The Starter foil is offered in a package with our 85 cm aluminum mast. This mast height is the most versatile for beginners and progression on all types of water. Providing the best balance between affordability and rigidity, this mast ensures excellent connection between the rider and the foil, delivering the most direct sensations possible.

On contact surfaces between carbon and aluminum, such as between the front wing and the fuselage, there is a potential difference that can lead to aluminum corrosion. To minimize this corrosion, our new V3 fuselage is equipped with a sacrificial anode. This component focuses corrosion on itself, preventing wear on the fuselage and increasing its durability. The sacrificial anode can be easily replaced with a screw, but its lifespan is designed to last for many years.

The Evo 300 stab is designed for beginners. With a surface area of 300 cm², it is tailored to balance all front wing surfaces of our Starter foil. Its significant average chord and low aspect ratio provide excellent longitudinal stability. The raised, non-sharp winglets enhance lateral stability.

The Evo 300 functions like the small training wheels on a child's bike: it makes the foil as stable and user-friendly as possible, allowing beginner riders to make their first runs with confidence, without having to focus too much on front-to-back or side-to-side balance.
