We are excited to introduce the Wing Racer 5'8 by 21 by 90 liters, our latest addition to the foiling range. This board, designed for speed, stability, and ease of use, is perfect for wing foiling enthusiasts looking for high performance in various conditions.
Key Features and Specifications
Design and Shape:
- Dimensions: The board measures 5'8" in length and 21" in width, balancing performance and stability. Its slightly longer length is ideal for light wind conditions and racing.
- Tail Design: A wide tail with sharp rails helps in quick takeoffs and maintaining speed, reducing drag and enhancing control.
- Narrow Width: The 21-inch width minimizes drag, making the board faster and more efficient during takeoff. Despite being narrow, it feels stable once the foil is engaged.
Performance Features:
- Volume: With 90 liters of volume, the board provides enough buoyancy to stand on the surface comfortably while waiting for wind gusts, ensuring quick starts without submersion struggles.
- Rails and Nose: Sharp rails extend forward for a clean water release, aiding in quick planing and smooth takeoffs. The rounded nose offers a neutral feel, preventing abrupt movements when touching down on water.
- Deck Concave: A slight concave on the deck enhances foot comfort and stability during knee starts.
Construction:
- Mounts: Compatible with Tuttle mount masts, including Mike's Labs foils via the Tuttle box and supports all plate mount foils as well. The one piece Foil Strongbox cassette integrates Carbon with PVC reinforcement for durability and very direct board to foil response.
- Stringers and Reinforcement: Two PVC stringers run down two-thirds of the board, reinforced with carbon for added strength. The entire deck features a high-density PVC foam layer and full carbon construction, ensuring light weight (13 lbs), and durability.
