RF FOIL V3 - 2024

SLALOM & RACING FOIL

Designed for performance foiling, the RF Foil range is shaped to excel in both light winds and high-power conditions, with no compromises to control over the course.

Marked by its square outline, flat deck, and remarkably wide tail, the board swiftly accelerates to take-off speed. On the bottom, the foil box is placed as far back as possible. The combined effect allows the RF Foil to rapidly take off over a short distance.

Every size of the RF Foil series showcases specialized tail cutouts that significantly diminish drag during acceleration prior to take-off or just after touchdowns. Notably, the 85 and 91 sizes feature oversized cutouts, reducing tail volume for heightened efficiency.

The wide tail proves pivotal when flying at high speeds. The positioning of footstraps nearer to the rail allows the sailor to control the foil pitch with higher precision and enhances overall upwind tracking. Conversely, placing footstraps further inboard helps keep the foil pitch under control on a predominantly downwind course.

All RF Foil sizes feature a lowered mast track. Keeping the rig connection lower improves overall board and rig control while in flight.

Occasional touchdowns are inevitable in foiling, particularly in choppy conditions. Catching water leads to quick deceleration and even loss of control. To counter that, a lot of volume is shaped into the RF Foil rails. This extra volume with a generous nose rocker result in a board bouncing back without “sticking” and losing speed.

RF Foils represents a natural progression from slower and forgiving freefoil boards. Their direct feel and explosive nature soon become an essential feature once the transition is made. Even when flying faster and higher, the RF Foil remains comfortable and in control, enabling you to remain focused on pushing your speed.
