Arc down tail wing for efficiency & pivoting turns.
Short fuselage for maneuverability & pumping.
Chasing the fastest ocean swells or pumping with infinite glide, the AK Plasma Foil Series was developed with key athletes such as the Ultimate Waterman, Zane Schweitzer, to deliver an extremely high-performance ride, without compromise.
KEY FEATURES
High Aspect Ratio
The high-aspect carbon Plasma series is perfect for pump, glide, and higher speeds.
61cm Fuselage
The 61cm fuselage offers high maneuverability and more efficient pumping, with its shorter cadence, compared to the 71cm fuselage.
The unique Stealth Fuselage absolutely minimizes drag while maximizing stiffness, while the flow dynamics minimize any oscillation you would find in a round fuselage, resulting in increased stability.
TRIMMABLE REAR WING
The rear wing allows the trim angle to be quickly adjusted to compensate for the lift requirements for different rider levels, personal preference, and when using different wing configurations.
Hydrofoiling has opened up the playground and allowed us to utilize the smallest waves, flattest lakes, and light wind conditions to bring a new sensation to performance surfing. Our love for the sport has inspired the modular hydrofoil platform, which is suitable for crossover use in surf, wake, pump, and wind sports.
From your very first ride and lower speed performance to the most technical riding abilities with longer masts and higher speed wings, the modular foil platform is designed to meet your needs at every level across different sports.
All wings, masts, fuselages, and base plates are interchangeable, without compromising the ease of assembly and robustness of the overall foil platform.
Our foil technology focuses on combining maximum durability, ease of assembly, and reduced weight into a high-performance system. Our prepreg carbon and composite wings utilize a lightweight foam core, while the tough multi-layer outside lamination optimizes strength and stiffness.
Assembly is quick, through the use of larger diameter titanium bolts in the foil assembly and an open-ended connection plate. This aligns with the industry-standard spacing and works in conjunction with our stainless-steel quick connect board inserts.
BASE PLATES
The streamlined 0 and 1.5 Degree aluminum base plates absolutely minimize drag when you’re getting going or touching down, while creating a solid connection to the mast via the M8 double bolt connection.
12mm slots enable micro trim adjustment when not being used in a track system, while the open ends make the plate much quicker and easier to fit when being used in a track system.
MAST LENGTHS
ALUMINUM
The bombproof aluminum masts are available in 5 sizes:
50 / 60 / 70 / 80 / 95cm.
CARBON
The lightweight carbon masts are available in 4 sizes:
70 / 80 / 90 / 105cm.
FUSELAGE LENGTHS
61cm FUSELAGE
The shorter fuselage offers high maneuverability and more efficient pumping, with its shorter cadence, compared to the 71cm fuselage.
71cm FUSELAGE
The longer effective cadence of the 71cm fuselage provides a more stable platform, for general freeride
use and progression.
REAR WING TYPE & SIZE
MOUSTACHE
Ranging in size from 260 – 340, the trimmable moustache rear wings provide directional stability.
ARC DOWN
The 260 – 300 arc down rear wings are ideal for highly efficient pumping, high speed, and pivoting turns.
The hydrofoil front wing range is split into 3 aspect ratio categories:
PLASMA SERIES – HIGH ASPECT
The high-aspect Plasma series is perfect for pump, glide, and higher speeds.
TRACER SERIES – MEDIUM ASPECT
The Tracer series features a medium aspect ratio, for ease of use, maneuverability, and versatile performance.
TREK SERIES – LOW ASPECT
Featuring a low aspect design for ease of use, the Trek series is best suited to entry level foiling and freeride progression, with its smooth lift, and stability at speed.
