The X-Cross most probably is the most versatile sail on the market. From freeride blasting in flatwater to busting airs in the waves of Australia, this sail can do it all. A 5-batten concept based on our successful 5Wave wave sail incorporates the newest ideas and tweaks of Patrik Diethelm and Fabio Canelle to become everybodies darling. The small sizes are more manouver-orientated while the bigger sizes are designed to be perfect flatwater and bump-and-jump joy machines.
Most brands simply re-use old slalom models and reduce the size of the cutouts and set the straps more inboard and introduce this as the latest freerace design. Our development was done together with purely dedicated free-racers and some pro-riders who were amazed by the performance in powered conditions against pure competition slalom boards. The slightly longer flat under the straps is the key feature for this shape and makes the board plane earlier and ride more stable and safer in rough conditions. With the smaller cutouts it's less loose and easier to control. Wanna go super fast without killing yourself on a competition slalom board? - The PATRIK F-Race is the perfect board for you!
The PATRIK Slalom gives you the raw accelleration, the control in the chop and in the jibes plus the massive top speed you need to win on the race course or just spritz all your friends at your local spot. If you need ultimate performance - this board is for you.
WHAT'S NEW TO THE PREVIOUS MODEL:
- Modified computer-optimised cutout contours for reduced drag, better waterflow, more accelleration and more topspeed.
- New lowered masttrack: A lowered sail position results in a lowered general center of gravity which significantly improves highend control.
- Optimised strength-to-weight ratio and new graphics by Fabio Canella
SHAPE AND FEEL
The FoilRide is the easiest to ride out of our five (!) pure foil boards, the FoilCompV2, the FoilRace, the FoilRide, the FoilMove and the FoilStyle.
It's a little narrower in the tail than the FoilRace and the FoilComp. The FoilRide doesn't have cutouts which makes the accelleration more even, easier to control and more stable. Usually freeriders don't use a lot of rake on the foil mast so the additional sinking of the tail as a scondary result of the cutouts is not needed to give the foil a positive angle of attack. It's way more important to give the rider the confidence and safety to gain trust in foiling quickly and improve from session to session.
Take off with ease and fly over the water surface at high speed with the Air Ride – the board of choice for dedicated foiling enthusiasts.
