REDEFINING THE APPROACH TO FOILING

The S1 (Step 1) foils deliver remarkable stability, ultra low flying speed and an instantly intuitive feel to make the first step into foiling as accessible and approachable as possible.


AUTOPILOT-LIKE STABILITY

Pitch, roll and yaw stability are critical to success when building folding skills. The S1 design achieves a near autopilot-like level of predictability thanks to a combination of leading and trailing edge sweep, chord length and foil section geometry. The result is an ultra easy platform for first time flyers to learn any foiling discipline.


FORGIVING AND VERSATILE

The Step 1 foils fly at a remarkably low speed with a high degree of controllability so that riders can practice maneuvers with less risk and a lower learning curve. When overpowered, the foil reduces breaching with a tendency to fly itself back down when approaching the surface. Because these foils handle speed and ventilation so well, riders can enjoy an exceptionally broad usable speed range in each size.


PREMIUM CONSTRUCTION

Built to the same tolerances as our other foils, the S1 range is constructed from carbon composites which provide an excellent strength to weight ratio.

Truly the only place to start

New winger and kite foiler here and I can say that the S1 has made my journey a breeze. After my first few sessions of complete success I thought I was a prodigy and could move past the "beginner" setup to a medium aspect smaller wing and could barely get up on foil and struggled the whole session feeling very unstable and twitchy. I switched back to the S1 and it was like gaining super powers making me feel like I could do anything and foil on demand. Super stable, super slow stall speed, tons of lift early to get you on foil quickly. I can't stress enough how awesome this wing is for learning and progression. Either your first time up on foil or even if you are already up and riding in both directions but are working on your tacks/jibes or toeside or just want to focus on fun and not challenge.
