The 4Wave offers a fairly unique concept of innovative backhand-powercontrol. By defining the profile of the sail with a special mix of materials - from a soft dacron in the front to the stiffest x-ply in the back of the sail - we could reduce the twist of the sail body above the boom in a positive way that offers you that little bit of extra horsepower – constantly available whenever you need it. Key to the 4Wave's outstanding efficiency is the wide outline in the centre of the sail while keeping a standard boom length. The panel above the boom gets the cleanest airflow so the wide panel can create drive and power while the narrow top guarantees for easy clew-first behaviour.
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.
The FoilRace is the easier little sister of our pure foil competition machine FoilCompV2. It is able to match the FoilComp's race performance by 98% but is a little more rider friendly than its competition equivalent.
As said before the outline and concept is very close and similar to the FoilCompV2 but less extreme in the details. The cutouts are designed to favour passive accelleration a little better than on the FoilCompV2. They still allow for active pumping and sinking of the tail with raked foils. If you are looking for one foil board to cover any flatwater conditions from freeride to racing this board is for you.
