WHY CHOOSE THIS PADDLE?
The FoilX is the ultimate SUP paddle for downwind foiling, flat water popups, and SUP surf foiling. Built on more than seven years of SUP foiling experience, we have engineered this paddle for instant power, acceleration, and strength, every detail is optimized to get you flying quicker, and for longer.
Featuring a moderate 9.5° blade angle and a low aspect ratio blade outline, the FoilX has a powerful catch, and the shorter blade promotes a higher paddling cadence and fewer foil strikes. A shallow power scoop and reduced blade volume further encourages increased cadence and explosive paddling – helping you to get up onto foil with fewer paddle strokes. With increased area in the toe of the blade, a quick and shallow paddle stroke will give instant boost if needed to keep you from dropping off foil.
The TourCarbon double taper shaft combines power and comfort, with an oval middle section and a flexible top round section to reduce shoulder fatigue. The award winning ergonomic and hollow carbon PowerGrip ensures a secure, relaxed, and comfortable grip.
Throughout the past 7+ years of working with foiling athletes we have seen all sorts of crashes; this has helped us to develop a new and specific paddle construction for foiling, a componentized system, and one-of-a-kind crash replacement policy. And thanks to our hot glue assembly, all parts can be easily changed or replaced as needed.
Constructed with our X-Flex high density foam core and 30T pre-preg carbon laminates, the FoilX is the pinnacle of power, responsiveness, and quality. For serious foilers, competitors, and enthusiasts alike, it’s a must-have essential part of your foiling quiver.
POWER SCOOP
TECHNOLOGY (PST)
The FoilX features a single shallow depth scoop design with dihedral shaped edges. The narrow scoop keeps maximum power in the center of the blade and aligned with the shaft for enhanced blade stability. This design is optimized for high cadence and high-power output, and it delivers forward thrust in a smooth and controlled manner helping you to get on foil quicker and easier with less strokes.
POWER RIDGE &
REDUCED BLADE VOLUME
The distinctive design of the FoilX incorporates our Power Ridge (PRT) and Reduced Blade Volume (RBVT) technologies which when combined, lead to a strong, light, and efficient blade which promotes a faster paddle stroke = higher cadence.
TOUR CARBON SHAFT
Engineered with a double tapered round-oval-round design, the Tour Carbon shaft maximizes stiffness in the lower section, delivering stability and optimizing power transfer to the blade. The upper section has a thinner and more flexible round profile, minimizing fatigue. The oval-shaped middle-grip area has a natural carbon-textured matte finish ensuring a directional feel with a secure and relaxed grip. Constructed with 30T pre-preg carbon laminates for reduced weight and increased paddling power. With a range of options there’s a perfect fit for every enthusiast across the entire spectrum of paddlers.
