STORY

In 2016

The development of Recharge foil dates back to 2016. After more than two years of development, simulations and tests, in 2019 we introduced the carbon universal foil, with which you can fly over water at 8 knots of wind.
To produce this great product, we firstly formed a team of four top experts.

Matej Božičnik

Innovations and development. His vast expertise has enabled him to develop his ideas and put on the market some top innovations, which are nowadays used in ski industry. Being a windsurfer himself, he understands well what is needed to build the ultimate foil.

Gašper Ovčak

An expert in composites, who also produces carbon parts for Ducati motorbikes. His knowledge of materials and composites has helped him to create the lightest and most resistant foil mast on the market - he has developed the system to put the vacuum bags through this tiny mast.

Simon Ogrinec

A passionate and an aeronautic genius builds the fastest model airplanes in the world. Who would better be suited to build the underwater wings? He has used all his aeronautics and windsurfing knowledge and has introduced some outstanding solutions of mold building as well as to production of strong and precise wings.

Tine Slabe

He was a professional windsurfer for 12 years and has been involved in the development of boards, sails, masts and fins throughout his career. He has been striving to bring the sport to an even higher level. He has managed to form together a fantastic team that has brought to the market a product in which they invested all their knowledge and experience.

CHARACHTERISTICS

Universal windsurf foil for freeriding, freeracing and even basic freestyling
Very linear lift which helps the beginners to faster learn how to foil
For flying you need 8 knots of wind (a 90 kg rider with a 7.8 sail and with good pumping skills)
Excellent stability, good feet and sail control from your first foiling attempts
Great for upwind and downwind cruising
Very good manoeuvrability and stability in jibing
Great for different manoeuvres and basic freestyle tricks
Suitable for all windsurfing boards with deep-tuttle box
Suitable for all sail sizes and shapes - from freestyle to fully cambered slalom sails
Modular system (masts, wings, fuselage)

FEATURES

Light due to high-end construction
Very sturdy foil parts
Salt-water-proof finish
Includes padded carrying bag and all screws, washers and screwdriver

PRODUCTION

100 % Slovenian development and knowledge
All parts are produced in Slovenia, Europe
Optimized high-end carbon fibre layup
