PATRIK FOIL A.I.O. PRO 5'9

SHAPE

Rail: For the 4’6”/5’0”/5’1” we designed a “step rail” for a good grip while duck diving and to reduce the volume to be able and sink the board for more stability when it is rough and windy. It is hard to kneel on a board when it is wavy and the narrow shape also permits low flying tight turns with a shorter mast when it is shallow. The other sizes have a flat-beveled nose entry to reduce drag and avoid the water sucking up the rail. The round boxy rail throughout the middle of the board gives the most volume close to the bottom and makes the shape stable in the starts.
Cutouts: For easier and quick take-off the trick is to find the right reduction of tail volume to sink and position the front wing with a better angle of attack. The sharp edges around the tail are essential to have clean water flow release and reduce the drag when increasing/maintaining speed gliding on top of the water for take-off and touch down.
Bottom Shape: After testing, we choose less concave depth to avoid the board dragging through the water too much. We, therefore, compromised a bit softer touch-down against quicker take-off, more acceleration and speed, and less drag with more release after touch down.
EVA (Deck Pad): A full deck EVA with an indicated bump to quickly see and feel the center of the board.
Finbox: No matter if you're shredding waves, pulling freestyle moves, if you're racing or simply cruising... we offer the 10” US-Tracks on all sizes.
Inserts: With many different foil setups a good foot position is crucial. With 68 possible front foot positions and 22 for the back foot we offer more options than anyone.
Leash Plug & Handle: Secure your board with a wrist- or leg-leash attached to the leash plug at the tail. The wider boards offer a handle "hole" to hold and carry the board with the foil mounted in a comfortable way.
