This is THE board to have fun on the Foil : SKY RIDER 5’5 x 27″

A FINELY CRAFTED BOARD HULL

 

The hollow board bridge allows to lower the centre of gravity closer to the water and have a better board control in the curves. No matter where you will place your feet, you will always feel and know where they are placed.  The hull of the Sky Rider 5’5 is very welled shaped: its double front concave makes it easier to start gliding and prevents the board from sticking to the water at each water touch through the chop.The bavels on the rails prevents the board from sharp touches of the water and thus better bounces of the water. This brings a lot of softness and comfort to your ride. Finally, the cut-outs on the tail makes pumping easier by reducing the drag and maintaining maximum speed. There is therefore less wet surface and therefore a very clear reduction of the drag.

FOR the SUP FOIL

An ideal board for waves and downwind performance

Ideal for small riders in long waves or in Downwind, the SKYRIDER 5’5 equipped with a  SROKA S-Foil is the combo that brings unbeatable performance. The compact shape and small dimensions makes take-off and pumping very easy even on the flat water. This board is designed for experienced to expert riders.

Sup-foil or Downwind Foil further advanced mast will allow an earlier take-off. A further to the back mast position will allow you to surf bigger waves without having to put too much weight on the front leg.

Safety

The foil must not be used in powerful waves that breaks fast. It’s a way to discover new spots, to go on relatively soft waves that don’t break and that will allow you to fully exploit the swell  on your foil. Getting in line up with all surfers is totally inadvisable and makes no sense at all.

It is important to position yourself further away from the surfers, swimmers and obstacles during your session.

We recommend the use of a helmet, a protective jacket and a full neoprene wetsuit.

It is therefore necessary to take all same precautions as in surfing, sup, wing foil. While practicing this sport, you should not overestimate yourself, start in small conditions with soft waves (less than 70 cm) and and not in hollow and powerful waves.

The practice of foil can become dangerous for you and others if you don’t follow some common sense guidelines. Poor control or use on a crowded spot can result some cuts or serious injuries.
