CHASE WB-X

FOUR INNOVATIVE CONCEPTS COMBINED IN ONE FOIL BOARD RANGE.

These brand new foil shapes have been created to feel as neutal and balanced as you've never felt it before.
With the WB-X shapes we have crafted boards that give you flotation and comfort but feel at least one size smaller once you are up and flying on the foil.
After several prototypes and precise testing we are proud and happy to present you the best foil board concept we've seen until today:

• Computer-aided designs for perfect volume balance and easy starts
• Low drag bottom for an early and effortless take-off, even with small front wings
• Concave deck and diamond pad for unmatched grip and carving control
• Adaptive rocker lines for explosive pop and and amazing riding control
• Low-drag hull for amazing riding control in gusty winds
• Adaptive constructions for a perfect strenth-to-weight-to-cost ratio
• Selected sizes available with additional Tuttle-Box (T)

With a wide range of sizes spread over five different design concepts from prone via freestyle, crossover and race to entry level there’s enough choices to ensure you will find your dream board matching your your riding level and body weight.
Designed by Thomas Goyard and Patrik Diethelm.

TAKE OFF & FLIGHT

‌ TAKE-OFF FEATURES

Forward widepoint: The max width near the front foot position and added nose volume gives you a more tolerant pumping and prevents you from sinking the nose too easily.

Longitudinal deck recess: Offers grip and forward transmission of any wind generated power. The specfic rake for each volume allows an optimized glide and body position to accelerate before take off. 

Drop shape outline: The result is in a perfect water release, horizontally (thinner exit) and vertically (when the tail sinks while pumping)

Adaptive Rails: Going from smooth rails at the nose (provides a balanced combo of drive/tolerance while planing) to sharper vertical rails at the tail ( provides planning skills and water realase at take off)

Foil Track Recess: This feature reduces the drag by the foil base plate. Set the foil foward for max. effect.

Progressive tense rocker line: Providing the perfect ratio between easy glide and agressive pumping.

‌ FLIGHT FEATURES

Adjustive foil rake: Smaller sizes carry less rake for better pumping. Bigger sizes have more rake for smoother touch downs and easier riding.

Double level bevels + V bottom: Creates an excellent adaptive behavior when touching down.
The Pulled-in kick tail minimizes the contact surface of the tail in radical turns and reduces drag.

Concave deck recess & Multi straps: provides extra grip on heels and toes when moving your feet or riding strapless. Multiple strap inserts to fits any body types, styles and conditions. Quick-adjust footstraps. Diamond dotted pad for maximum grip and traction while carving, waveriding or switching feet

Aerodynamic nose entry: improves the stability and maneuvrability in strong winds.

Natural balance: The WB-X has been tested with many different foils to make sure your combo always feels balanced and natural. Obviously some personal adjustments have to be made to your foil position (and rake) to compensate for different foil designs.

35/45/55

These small 35 /45 boards are meant to be used in strong winds or work extremely well for kids, youth and light weight riders. The middle front strap option is ideal for strapped tow-in foiling or prone surf foiling. Built strong and light, these boards will bring extreme maneuvrability, grip and accuracy while riding. They are the only sizes in the range coming without foil box recess to allow the use of the electric Foil Drive or similar e-Foil systems.

The WB-X 55 is your perfect all-in-one board, thanks to its very versatile width of 20’6 inches and moderate length. Use it as:
- as a prone surf foil board for heavy intermediate riders, or for light weight beginners
- as a freestyle board for medium weight riders
- as a freeride board which you can push in big waves with the wing
- as a racing board for light weight riders with the deep tuttle option (T)
The foil box recess reduces drag and turbulences from the mast base plate at take off and at touch downs and gives you a much smoother riding experience.

65/75/85

These three volumes are bigger versions of the 55 l concept. They are for medium and heavy intermediate riders or simply for beginners who want to step down from their 100+ L beginner board. Race, freeride, freestyle and waves - these boards can do it all.
When prone foiling, they will ensure easy paddling and effortless take off for beginners in small waves thanks to some extra volume.
Progressive bevels combined with a pin tail outline garantee smooth touch downs at high speeds.
Note: These boards can be ordered with the deep tuttle option (T) to be able to use Race foils and Kite foils with Tuttle box connection.

95/105

Their length of 5’8.5 and 5’11 feet gives early planning and good pitch stability in the air while being still short enough to have great carving abilities.
These two models 95 and 105 L are the right choice for light wind session with medium and big foils. Moderate width makes foot switches comfortable, while still allowing snappy turns and flowy carving. The increased nose V compared to small sizes gives an even smoother behavior at take off and at touch downs. It implies a slight nose volume reduction which helps to keep a nice weight distribution and good swing weight balance. 

115/135

These three boards are ideal for beginners and freeriders who want to take off smoothly while feeling balanced and light in the air. Once in the air these boards will feel smaller than they are. During starts the extra volume gives you comfort, stabilty and some extra safety.
The foil box recess and our signature outline and rocker line result in excellent glide. These boards generate speed with minimum effort and shine during take off.
Additionally, they have more room for progression. Combine your board with an intermediate foil and continue to enjoy! Paired with a smaller foil, these boards work great once you progress towards jibing, tacking and carving.
